A WELLINGTON LADY

RELATES AN EXPERIENCE WHICH WILL INTEREST WELLINGTON TEOPLE. Mrs. S. E. Robertson, Beach-st., Petone, this city, states: — "Five years ago I fell down a culvert and my kidneys were luirt, and a long, bad time of Kidney Disease set in. Even before I fell I had suffered more or less with pains in the small of my back and giddiness and headaches, but afterwards tie symptoms wero so alarming that I never expected to recover, nor did my friends expect that I would. The bladder gave mo the most trouble ; the secretions wero thick and most painful, besides being discoloured with blood. Sometimes tlio blood seemed to leave the kidneys very plentifully, showing what a terrible state tboso organs were in. My back itilways ached across tho loins, but at times the agony was something frightful, especially when I caught cold, and I always seemed to be taking cold. No precautions seemed to protect me, and at those times I would be a perfect cripple, as inflammation of the kidneys would set in. I was wearing out fast, and used to look thirty years older than I was, being so haggard and drawn, and I fell away to a mere shadow. I was quite hopeless of ever getting well. Indeed my sufferings were so terrible that I used to. look more to death as an end rto my agony. " I was treated by a number of doctors, one after another, and I also had hospital treatment, and was operated on a number of times. One doctor told mo that I should never get well, and tho most hopeful doctor said I should not be right for yearn This was i/he best news I heard, so you can guess what sort of an outlook I had before me. I had my photo taken at the end of the yeur 1900, some of my friends wishing to have one before I went under an operation which I was to undergo at one of the hospitals. ' "It was just at the time I had this photo taken (which photo looked liko a woman of about, sixty) that a friend of mine brought mo a box of Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, which -had been obtained at Cbas. A. Fletcher's Pharmacy. I was not taking any medicine at tie time, ihe doctor evidently, thinking it was not necessary on account of the ira- t mediate operation, so I started using these pills right away. You will scarcely i credit it, but I felt that the pills weie ! doing me good before I had taken a box. Every dose did me good service, and every day I felt better and better. When I had taken the fourth box your representative called to see how I was getting along, and I felt so much bettor that I allowed him to take down the facts for publication. But I was not cured. How- ' over, I was so well that I did not need' an operation. "At the same time you see the change in my health was so great that it almost seemed like a cure. My secretions wero clear, and the bleeding of the kidneys had stopped, and at times my back was < quite free o| pain. I kept on using the pills after this, and at last I /felt I was quite cured. I have take* about fifteen boxes of the remedy. Two years* have now passed since I gave up using the pills, oiid lam still well. It was a marvellous cure in my case. People who came to see me since my illness scarcely knew mo ; I had gained flesh and looked my proper age. In fact I feel that Dorm's Backache Kidney Pills saved my life. My kidneys are in a thoroughly healthy condition now. All my friends know how great a cure this remedy made -in my case, and I am glad to speak in favour of this medicine, so that all sufferers may know how valuablo it is for kidney complaint." Mm- Robertson states in May, 1904: "It is three and a»half years since Doan's Backacho Kidney Pills cured mo, and I am still quite well. Threo and a-half years is a long time, and I am sure I am cured to stay cured." < I Doan's Bnckaohe Kidney Pills are sold | by all chemists and storekeepers at 3s S'er box (six boxes 16s 6d), or will be osted on receipt of price by Foster M'Clellan Co., 76, Pitt -street, Sydney, N.S.W. But be sure they aro DOAN'S. i —
