It can B be done. Here's the strongest evidence B to prove it : William Pumyea, janitor of the Betheny M. E. church, living at 70 Bayard street, Trenton, N. J., says : • "I still think as favorably of Doan's k Kidney Pills as 1 did in 1897 when 1 allowed a testimonial to be published relating my experience. Before I used this remedy I suffered for a year or so 8 with my kindeys, and there was an al- £ most stead}' pain in the small of my back and through the muscles of the hips. Sometimes the pain extended • round to the lower part of the abdo8 men and very often it was simply torture to reach out, to stoop or lift any e thing. Doan's Kidney Pills being recommended to me, I got a box and, as r I stated at that time, they justified all the recommendations I had heard, i The benefit has been lasting and foi this reason 1 am glad to recommend them again."
