No other remedy more highly
endorse ; than Dean's Kidney Pills.
Here's convinci.ig testimony.
Mrs. S. E. Ellsworth, 527 Kex
Ave., Portland, Ore., gays: "I J was
all run down because of kidney
trouble and 1 can j hardly describe
the pains in my back. Many times
I was 'so dizzy and nervous 1 could
hardly keep going-. My sight was
often blurred and big black specks
came before my eyes. My sleep
didn't seem to rest me nnd I al
ways felt tired and listless. My
kidneys were weak and my feet nnd
ankles became swollen. I used
Doan's Kidney Pills and was toon
completely cured."
