Cldvenger says:
Mrs. Lucinda Clevenger, Mc
Connellsburg, says: 'My back
ached badly and I couldn tdomy
housework. I had dizzy spells
and chills and was annoyed by
the kidney secretions. Often
6welling3 appeared under my
eyes and I was very nervous at
night I was troubled by rheu
matic twinges. Doan's Kidney
Pills removed all signs of the
trouble. I procured them at
Trout's Drug Store."
