Proof of merit lies in the evidence. Convincing evidence in Brattleboro Is not the testimony of strangers, But the endorsement of Brattleboro people. That's the kind of proof given hereThe statement of a Brattleboro citizen.

O. F. Howe, 66, Elliot Brattleboro, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills did me more good than any other remedy I ever used and I am therefore pleased to recommend them, My back troubled me for a long time and I was often so lame that I could hardly stoop or lift. I tried plasters and several remedies but received no relief until I began using Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at Holden's Drug Store. The contents of two boxes removed the backache and lameness and restored my kidneys to a normal condition." The above statement was given September 25, 1908, and on July 7, 1909, Mr.

Howe said: "I willingly confirm all have previously said in praise of Doan's Kidney Pills. You may continue to publish my endorsement." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
