Lots of proof that Doan's Kidney Pills do this. It's the best proof, for it comeB from Brattleboro. Charles G. Endlich, painter, 5 Main street, Brattleboro, Vt., says: "I know that Doan's Kidney Pills are an excel lent remedy as they have been used in my family with satisfactory results. A member of the household was troubled for months with pains through the loins and headaches. Colds aggravated the trouble. A friend finally advised a trial of Doan's Kidney Pills, and a box was procured at Holden's drug store. They proved" to be just what was needed and proved of great benefit in every way." (Statement given Oct. 12, 1905.) A Later Endorsement On July 6, 1911, Mr, Endlich was in terviewed and he said: "All that I said in praise of Doan's Kidney Pills some years ago still holds good.
