A Good Reason
Putnam People Can Tell You
Why It Is So
Doan's Kiilnt-y Pills cure the cause
of disease, ami that is why the cures
are always lasting. This remedy
-t rengi hens ami tones u|> the kidney*,
helping them to drive out of the body
the liquid lsiisons tinit cause backache,
headache ami distressing kidney and
urinary complaints. Putnam people
testify to permanent cures.
Mrs. I»enni* l ady, of *>s .School «t.,
Putnam, Conn., says: ‘•For three or
four years my husband had severe
pains in the small of his tiack which
prevented him from sleeping well at
night. A day or two before a storm he
always noticed that the pains were
worse, and when he caugiit cold the
trouble was also greatly aggravated.
Added to this there was an annoying
difficulty from the kidney frweretion*.
He used many remedies but got no re

difficulty and banished the back
