ONLY ONE
The Record in Griffin Is a
Unique One. *
If the reader has a “bad back” or
any kidney ills and is looking for an
effective kidney medicine, better de
pend on the remedy endorsed by peo
ple you know. Doan’s Pills have
given great satisfaction, in such
cases. Griffin citizens testify to this.
Ask your neighbor! Here is a case
of it:
Mrs. Rupert Epps, 346 Meriwether
street, Griffin, says: ‘*1 felt tired
and didn’t care about doing any
thing. There were pains through my
back and when I stooped I was sub
ject to dizzy spells and headaches.
Black objects floated before my eyes.
My kidneys acted irregularly and as
other members of the family had
used Doan’s Pills I procured some.
In a short time I was cured. I have
not been troubled with kidney coni'
plaint since and I am glad to recom
mend Doan’s. *>
Price 60c, at all dealers, Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pills—the same that Mrs.
Epps had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs.,
Buffalo, N. Y.
