A WELLINGTON LADY.

RELATES AN EXPERIENCE WHICH WILL INTEREST MANY MASTERTON PEOPLE. Mrs S. E. Robertson Beach Street, Petone Wellington, says:—" Five years fi£o I fell down a culvert 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 headache:;, 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 were 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 alw«ys ached across the loins, but, at timos the agony was something frightful, especially when I caught cold, and I seemed to take cold very often. No precautions seemed to protect 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 1 was. being so haggard arid drawn, and fell away to a mere shadow. Indeed iny sufferings were so ten iblc that I almost •ooked forward to deatti as an end to my agony. I was treated by a number of doctors,one after another,and treatment and was operated upon a number of times. One doctor tuld me I should never get well and the most hopeful nows was that I should not be woll for years so you may guess what an outlook I had before me. I had my photo taken at the end of the year 1000, 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 (30) that a friend of mine bought me a box of Doan's Backache Kidney Pills. I was not taking any medicine at the time, 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 1 felt better and better. When I had* taken the fourth box your representative called to see how 1 was getting along, and I felt so much better that 1 allowed him to take down die facts for publication, But I was .iot cured. However, i was so well, I did not need t) undergo the operation. At the same time you see, the change in my health was so great that it almost seemed like a cure. My secretions were clear and the bleeding of the 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 lifteen boxes of the pills, and I stopped taking them nearly two years ago and lam still well. I consider it is a irarvellous cure. People who saw me during my illness scarcely know me now; I have gained llesh and look my proper age. In fact I feel that Doan's Backache Kidney Pills saved my lif» My kidneys are in a thoroughly healthy condition now. Ml 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 sui'i'erers may know how valuable it is for kidney complaint." Mrs llobertson, makes a further statement in May, 1901. She says: —I am still quite well, and it is three and a-half yeais since Doan's Backache Kidney Pills cured me. Three and a-lmlf years is a lout; time, and 1 feel now that I am cured for good.
