Some things achieve a reputation which stays with them. They are founded on intrinsic value. They face the public backed up bv honesty, and work their way quietly and thoroughly. People want no better proof of merit than is contained in the following experience ; Mr Hugh Sutherland, late of York place, Dunedin, and who is now living at Beaumont, near Lawrence, says: "T have always worked among horses, and some two years ago, while clipping a "horse, something caused it to plunge, and it fell on me and hurt my back and kidneys, I was laid up for a couple of weeks, and when I got up my back was very bad, and for months afterwards it never stopped aching. I had treatment from a doctor, but I derived no benefit from it. The constant ache in my back, the difficulty to stooy. and the torture of trying to stand straight again, was something awful. I tried almost every remedy known for kidney trouble, but they were useless. At last I was advised to take Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills, and sent for some. I got relief after the first bot*!e, and this encouraged me to go on with (hem, six bot Hes curing me completely. I am now as well as can be, and my back is quite strong and never aches.” When asked about- his cine three years later, Mr Sutherland says: “Doan's Backache Kidney Pills perfectly cured me of backache, for I am still absolutely free of this trying ailment. I cannot speak too highly of Doan’s Pills as a kidney remedy,” Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills are sold by all chemists and storekeepers at 3s per bottle, or will be posted on receipt of price by Poster-M’Clellan Co., 15 Hamilton street, Sydney. But, be sure you get Doan’s.—Advt.
