D. M. Stribbling, former proprietor

p'.oased with tho rosults I obtnined
from the use of Doan's Ktdnoy Pills
which I used for backucho and kidney
trouble. I suffered for some yoars with
a dull aching pain across tho small of
my baok, espeoially bad at night. At
times it was so sevoro that I was to
tally unlit to attend to my work. Tho
kidney secretions were dark colored,
full of brick dust sodimont and of a
very strong odor. At night I was ob
liged to rise frequently which to
gether with tho constunt backache and
lo;s ef sleep caused my general health
to be very poor. I used any numbor of
romodlos and took doctors proscriptions
but It was tho same old thing, vory lit
t e if any rellof. 1 saw Doan's Kidnoy
Pi 19 advertised and went to tho Pal
metto Drug Co.'s storo and got a box of
them. To my delight after taking them
my hick regained its strongth, did not
ache and tho kidnoys acted natura'iy
and I could rest all night without I o
