Alaska, Like Every Section in the

People with kidney ills want to
be cured. When one suffers the
tortures of an aching back, relief
is eagerly sought for. There are
many remedies today that relieve,
but not permanently. Doan's Kid
ney Pills have brought lasting
results to thousands. Her# is proof
of merit from this vicinity:
F. A. Sutton, tent and awning
dealer, Room 6, Capitol Hotel Bldg.,
Salem, Oregon, says: "i had Kid
ney trouble and rheumatism for ten
years and sometimes I was laid up,
Doctors did not help me. Sharp pains
extended through my back and wore
most severe in my kidneys and loins.
Often when working, 1 had to give
up. I lost weight and was in very
poor health. I had headaches, rest
ed but little at night and did not
know what to do.- On a friend's ad
vice I tried Doan's Kidney Pills
and to my surprise, they brought <i
great improvement in a few days. I
continued to get better steadily. I
got more sleep, my appetite improv
ed and the pains gradually, but
surely left me. After I had used
three boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills,
I was in better health than I had
been for ten years itud not a sign
of kidney complaint remained. The
cure had been permanent. I gladly
confirm the endorsement 1 gave
Doan's Kidney Pills several years
ago."
