Mrs S. Elbourn lives at 30 Stockwell Street, near the Mill Road Baptist Chapel, Cambridge. A year ago she said, “I have to be lifting and stooping about all day at my business and have suffered badly with my back, and with other symptoms of kidney disorder. I didn’t know how to move sometimes, I had such pains. I could not get comfort in any position and used to be hours getting to sleep. But since using Doan’s backache kidney pills I have not had any trouble”. Now twelve months later she is better. “People have often asked me about my cure and I have always been glad to tell them how much good Doan’s pills did me”. Ask distinctly for Doan’s backache kidney pills, the same as Mrs Elbourn had – Advert.
