NO REASON FOR IT
When Edgefield Citizens Show a
Way.
There can be no reason wny any
reader of this whs. suffers the tor
tures of an aching back, the annoy
ance of urinary disorders, the pains
and dangers of kidney ills will fail to
heed the words of a neighbor who
has found relief. Read what an Edge
field citizen says:
Mrs. R. C. Miller, Columbia, St.,
says: "I complained a great deal with
my back and there was a dull, steady
misery across my kidneys. My kidneys
did not act properly and were a
source of annoyance. I started using
Doan's Kidney Pills and they bene
ficed me from the first. Continued
use of Doan's cured me of the
trouble and I have had no return. I
never hesitate to recommend Doan's"
' Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same
that Mrs. Miller had. Foster-Milburn
