Read this case: Mr John Holmes, Seddon Street, Kumara says:—“For some‘time I had a i lot to put up with owing to my bacn j being very stiff and always aching. I cnew the trouble was caused by" "my |

kidneys, as I bad several other symp- j toms that clearly showed these organs j were not working "properly;';l am a j blacksmith arid of course have a lot of stooping to do and this made‘the pain in the back worse than it might otherwise have been. One day I saw an advertisement for Doan’s Backache'Kidney Pills, so I got some to try them. They proved a blessing, four bottles driving the pain out of my back and j storing my kidneys to a healthy state. ' That was'three years ago, and I have j had no return of my old complaint ' B since, so my cure is a permanent one.” "
