A WELLINGTON LADY, RELATES AN EXPERIENCE WHICH WILL INTEREST MANY ; MASTERTON PEOPLE. ; Mrs 8. E. Kobertson Beach Street, Petone, Wellington, 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 lesß with pains in the small of my back and giddiness, and' headaches, but afterwards these symptonis were so' alarming that'l never expected' to recover, nor did' rny friends expect thatl would. The bladder 1 gave me the most trouble; the secretions ' were thick and mostpa'nful' 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, f.t 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 wearing put 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 1 my agony. I was treated by a number of doctor ,oneafteranother,and lalsohadhospital treatment and was operated upon a number of times. One doctor told me I should never get well and the mcst 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 I pills were doing me good before I had I finished taking one box. Eyery dose did I me good &e. ~'ce 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 I allowed him to take down the facts for publication. But I was not cured. However, I was so well, I did not need to undergo the'operation. At the same tim 9 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 Jfills saved my life. My kidneys are in a thoroughly healthy condition now. 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:—l am still quite well, and it ia 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. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are sold by all chemists and storekeepers at 3s per box boxes ?6s 6d, or 'will' be posted on receipt of price by Fosier-McClellan Co., 76 Pitt Street,. Sydney, N.S.W. ..;„; Be sure they are Doan's.
