SUCCEEDS Because It’s For One Thing Only, and Rensselaer People Appreciate This. Nothing can be’ good for everything. Doing one thing well brings success. Doan’s Kidney Pills are for one thing only. For weak or disordered kidneys. Here is Rensselaer evidence to pno-ve their worth. C. B. Steward, inurance agent, W. Washington street,, says: 7 “1 had been subject to serious attacks of kidney disorder. My back for a long time was lame and sore and I was hardly ever free from backache. Whenever I feel any signs of that trouble now, or my kidneys don’t act right, I get a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills at Long’s Drug Store. They quickly fix me up all right.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t s imply ask for a kidney remedy—•get Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same that Mr. Steward had. Foster-Mil-burn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. — Advt.
