PLAIN QUESTIONS TO
WELDON PEOPLE.
Every Wcldon Reader Will Admit
The Soundness of the Logic.
Would Weldon people recom
mend Doan's Kidney Pills as they
do if the medicine were not relia
ble ? Would they confirm iheir
statements after years have elapsed
if their experiences did not show
the remedy deserving of it? State
ments like the following must car
ry conviction to the mind of every
reader:
George W. Tye, Cedar Street,
Weldon, says: "My kidneys were
no: mini tlicy should and ine
kidney secretions were unnatural.
I also had pains in the small part
ol my back and through my kid
neys. Doan's Kidney Pills re
lieved me of all aches and pains,
regulated my kidneys and did me
good generally."
A Lasting Benefit.
Over three years later Mr. Tye
s-.J: "The benefit Doan's Kidney
Pills gave me has been lasting and
1 have had no occasion to use them
for the past iwo years."
Price 60c. at all dealers.
Don't simply ask for a kidney
remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills
the same thai Mr. Tye had.
