Mrs. Ellen Watson, 4u5 K. Thir
tieth. St. Taconia, Wash, says:
"After an operation and being in the
•hospital three months my kidneys
were weak. My back was lame and
| tliere was a heavy dull ache across
■ray loins. My kidneys sometimes
aoted too frequently a;ul sometimes
not often enough and bladder
tjooiDle caused me a great de:'l of
distress. Doan's Kidney Fills re
lieved me of all that trouble."
(Statement given NoveniW,. i.
