Doan’s Pills Endorsement — Daily becoming less wearisome to many in Houlton. With a back that aches all day, with rest disturbed at night, annoying urinary disorders, tis a weary way, indeed. Doan’s Kidney Pills drive weariness away. Mrs. Walter Hartford, Green Street, Houlton, Maine says: “My kidneys bothered me for several years but not badly until about a year ago. At that time I was in very poor health and some days was obliged to take to my bed on account of the intense ache in my back. When I was up and around I had little or no ambition and a depressed feeling clung to me all the time. In spite of the various remedies I used, I was unable to obtain even temporary relief. A friend who had used Doan’s Kidney Pills advised me to try them and on her suggestion, I procured a box. The results were so satisfactory that I continued using the remedy and now I am willing to give it my endorsement. Doan’s Kidney Pills can be procured at Hathaway and Company drug store.”
