prior to Uitng Doan's Kidney l'ills, my
suffering had become more severe, and
'one day, 1 was taken with attacks
o> shari) pains tbrougu my loins and
bladder. 1 sent for a doetor who
finally used a eathe'er. This gave me
reliei a', the time but still I bad trouble
afte wards with irritation of the
bladder and with the disordered action
of mv kidnejs. I began using Doan's
Kidney Pills, and they . acted very
promptly and directly on the parts
| affected, so that ;he bladder trouble
j disappeared and In other ways I found
