A WELLINGTON LiDl',

RELATES AN EXPERIENCE WHICH WILL INTEREST MANY MASTERTON PEOPLE. Mrs S. E. Robertson Beach Street, Petone, Wellington, says:—" Five years ago I fell down a calvert and hurt my kidneys, and a long bad time of kidney disease set in. Even before I fell I had suffered more or less with pains in the small of my back and giddiness and headaches, but afterwards these symptoms were so alarming that I never expected to recover, nor did my friends expect that I would. The bladder gave me the most trouble; the secretions werd thick and most painful besides being discolored with blood. Sometimes the blood seemed to leave the kidneys very plentifully showing what a terrible state those organs wore in. My back always ached across the ioitis,bbu s at times the agony was something frightful, especiallywhen I caught cold, and I seemed to take cold very often. No precautions seemed to proteot me, and at these times I would be a perfect cripple, as inflammation of the kidneys would set in. 1 was wearing out' fast and used to look thirty years older than I was, being so haggard and drawn, and fell away to a mere shadow. Indeed my sufferings were so terrible that I almost •ooked forward to death as an end to my agony. I was treated by a number of doctors,one after another,and I also hadhospital treatment and was operated upon a number of times. One doctor told me I should never get well and the most hopeful news was that I should not be well for years so you may guess what an outlook I had before me. I had my photo taken at the end of the year 1900, some of my friends wishing to have one before I. underwent another operation at the hospital. It was just at the time I had this photo taken (which made me look like a woman of about 60) that A friend of mine bought me a box of Doan's Backache Kidney Fills. I was. not taking any medicine at the tune, the doctor evidently thinking it was not necessary on account of the immediate operation so I commenced using these pills right away. You will scarcely credit'it, but I felt that the pills were doing me good before I had finished taking one box.. Eyery dose did me good service and every day I felt better and better. When I had taken the fourth box your representative called to see how I was getting along, and I felt so much better that 1 allowed him to take doym the facts for publication. But I was not cured. However, I was so well, I did not need to undergo the operation. At the same time you see, the change in my health was so greai that it almost seeiheu l ; '-e a cure. My secretions were clear and the bleeding of tbe kidneys had stopped, and at times my back was quite free of pain. I kept on using the pills after this and at last I was quite cured. In all I took about fifteen boxes of the pills, and I stopped taking them nearly two years ago and lam still well. I consider it is a marvellous cure. People who saw me during my illness scarcely know me now; I have gained flesh and look my proper age. In fact I feel that Doan's Backache Kidney .fills saved my lif». My kidneys are in a thoroughly healthy condition now: All my friends know how great a cure these pills made in my case, and I am glad to speak in favour of this medicine so that all sufferers may know how valuable it is for kidney complaint." Mrs Robertson, makes a further statement in May, 1804. She saysl am still quite well, and it is three and a-balf years since Doan's Backache Kidney Pills cured ' me. Three and a-balf years is a long time, and I feel now that I am cured for good.
