counts.
I loan's Kidney I'ills liavo made
their reputation by effective action.
The following case is typical. i
Skagwav residents should be
convinced.
Testimony like this cannot be ig*
nored.
Mrs. Ellen Watson, 4U5 K. Thir
tje'h St., Tacoma, Wash, says: ,
"After an operation and being in the,
hospital three months my kidneys |
were weak. My back was lame «:id i
there was a heavy dull ache across
my" loins. My kidneys sometimes
acted too frequently and sometimes
not often enough and bladder
tjennle caused me a great deal of
distress. Doan's Kidney I'ills re
lieved me of All that trouble."
(Statement given Novoniher l.
1915.)
On May 23, 1K17 Mrs. Watson
said: "I can never say enough in
praise of Doan's Kidney I'ills. They
cured me of kidney complaint. and
