A WELLINGTON LADY, RELATES AN EXPERIENCE WHICH WILL INTEREST MANY MASTERTON PEOPLE. Mrs S. E. liobertson Beach Street, I'etone, • IVelHngtOiV says:—" Five years ago I fell' down a culvert and hurt my kidneys, 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 these symptoms were .so alarming that _ I never expected to recover, nor did my friends expect that I would. The bladder gave me the most trouble; the secretions were thick and most painful besides being discolored with blood. Sometimes the blood seemed to leave the kidneys very plentifully showing what a terrible state those organs wore in. My back always ached across the loins, but, at times the agony was something frightful, especially when I,caught cold, and I seemed to take cold very often. No precautions seemed to protect me, and at these times I would be a perfect cripple, as inflammation of the kidneys would set in. i was weaving out fast and used to look thirty years older than I was. being so haggard and drawn, and fell away to a mere shadow. Indeed my sufferings were so terrible that I almost -ooked forward to death as an end to my agony. I was treated by a number of doctors.one after another,and I also hadhospital treatment and was operated upon a number of times. One doctor told mo I should never get well and the most hopeful news was that I should not be well for years so you may guess what an outlook I had before me. I had my photo taken at the end of the year 1900, some of my friends wishing to have one before I underwent another operation at the hospital. It was. just at the time I had this photo taken (which made me look like a woman of about 60) that a friend of mine bought me a box of Doan's Backache Kidney Pills. I was not taking , any medicine at the time, the doctor - evidently 'thinking it was not necessary on account of the immediate operation so I commenced using these pills right away. You will scarcely credit it, but I felt that the pills were doing me good before I had finished taking one box. Eyery dose did we 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 better that 1 allowed him to take down the facts for publication. But I was iiot cured. 1 However, I was so well, I did not need to undergo the operation. At the same time you see, the change in my health was so great that it almost seemed like a cure. My secretions were clear and the bleeding of the kidneys had stopped, and at times my back was quite free of pain. I kept on using the pills after this and at last I was quite cured. In all I took about fifteen boxes of the pills, and I stopped taking them nearly two years ago and lam still well. I consider it is a marvellous cure. People who saw me during my illness scarcely know me now; I have gained flesh and look my proper age. In fact I feel that Doan's Backache Kidney Pills saved my life. My kidneys are in a thoroughly healthy condition how. All my friends know how great a cure these pills made in my case, and I am glad to speak in favour of this medicine so that all sufferers may know how valuable it is for kidney complaint." ' Mrs Bobertson, makes a further statement in May, 1904. She says lam still quite well, and it is three and a-half years since Doan's Backache Kidney Pills cured me. Three and a-half years is a long time, and I feel now that I am cured for good.

QUITE DIFFERENT.. The ordinary ceughi medicine may soothe the throat, but it hus no power to heal; recovery is not complete, and a second attack is more liable to follow. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is quite different, because it not only soothes but also heals, so that the' affecfced parts are - restored to a healthy condition, and the danger of a future attack is removed.
