-a Burden
Woman's lot is a weary one at best.
But with backache and other distress-
in gkidney ills life indeed becomes a
burden. Doan’s Kidney Pills have
made life brighter for many Belle-
fonte women. Read what Mrs. J. T.
Gordon, 130 E. Beaver St., Bellefonte,
says: “I and another member of my
family, have found great benefit from
the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills which
were procured at Parrish’s Drug
Store. My trouble was a dull, con-
stant backache which kept me in mis-
ery at times. Mornings I was so sore
and lame I dreaded to begin my house-
work, for it was a burden. Doan’s
Kidney Pills, taken according to direc-
tions, restored my kidneys to a mor-
mal condition. I have had no return of
the backache or kidney disorders.
Doan’s surely have my gratitude for
the lasting benefit they brought me.”
(Statement given April 12, 1914).
On October 19, 1918, Mrs. Gordon
said: “I gladly confirm my previous
statement for Doan’s Kidney Pills, as
I certainly have found them to be all |
that is claimed for them. Doan’s
gated me, for which I am very thank-
ul.
