When Doan's Backache Kidney Pills were first advertised here, I was taking a remedy that was fairly effective, but I gave it over foi Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, whicl are far superior to anything I have evei used." ■';•' Do , not be satisfied with any imitatioi of Doan's "Pills ; remember.it is Doan': Backache Kidney Pills that Mr Wis dom recommends, and if you suffer wit] backache or kidney trouble you wan the same remedy.
