A TWICE TOLD TALE.
Ooe of Interest to Our Readers.
Good news bers repeating, and
when it is confirmed after a long
lapse of time, even if we hesi
tate to believe it at first hearing,
we leel secure in accepting its
truth now. The foilowing exper
rience of a Lenoir man is con
firmed after four years.
Dow Triplet, brick mason, of
Lenoir, N. C, says: "I suffered a
long time from kidney trouble
and as I had oftte herd of Doan's
Kidney Pills, I finally got them.
I had taken them only afew days
before the pain began to leave
my back and I got stronger. My
kidneys were also ffxed up in
good shape." (Statement given
February 14, 1911.)
On Dec. 1914. Mr. Triplett
said: "I recommend Doan's Kid
ney Pills as highly as ever, al
though I have had no occasion
to use them lately. Another of
my family also took doan's Kid
ney Pills and three made acure."
Price 50c at all dealcs. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills the
same that Triplett had. Foster
