A THOROUGH TEST
One to Convince The Most Skeptical
Langdon Reader
The test of time is the one that
counts. Doan's Kidney Pills have
made their reputation by effective
action. The following case is typi
cal. Langdon residents should be
convinced. The testimony is con
firmed—the proof complete. Testi
mony like this cannot be ignored.
W B. Gordon, retired farmer, on
Fifth street, South, says: "I suffer
ed for a number of years with pains
in the small of my back, directlv
over my kidneys. My kidneys acted
too frequently. I got Doan's Kid
ney Pills and used them and they
were just what I needed. They soon
rid me of the trouble entirely."
(Statment given August 31, 1907.)
N« Troouble Since—On November
28, 1917, Mr. Gordon said: "I have
not had any need of a kidney remedy
for a long time. I give Doan's credit
for my good health." Price 60 cents
at all dealers. Don't simply ask for
a kidney remdey—get Doan'B Kidney
