Many readers will profit by the following: _ Mrs. Allen Osman, 600 E. Oak St., Rensselaer, says: "I was down with kidney so I had to be helped out of bed. My back ached as if it would break. I could get no relief day or night My housework was often neglected. Dizzy headaches were frequent and my kidneys were neves regular in action. I read of Doan’s Kidney Pills and used them from Long & Son’s drug store. They vvere just what I needed and in a few days the aches and pains left and I was free from all signs of kidney trouble.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same that; Mrs. Osman had. Foster-Mllburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y.
