Says this READING Man.
On May 26 1911, Mr A A Ford of 21.
Coventry R oad Reading said I had a
bad spell of backache some time ago and for
a fortnight I had great difficulty In gettin g
about my work

Afle r I had been stooping It
was a hard matler fo r me to rise, whIle hlltng
was out of the quest on
Rea.dmg about Doan 5 backache kidney
pills I declded lo try th em myself and after
Ith e first few doses I relt better
I made
ra pid progress and In a few days the pams
had left me beSides WhlCh I felt better all
round That was S IX months ago and I hale
had no return of th e complaint S inCe.
I I I have recomm ended Doan S pills to many
of my fnends, and shall contmue to do so
They are good pl11s for back and kldney weak
ness, of that I am certam
