A truthful statement of a La Grande citizen, given in his own words, should convince the most skep tical about the merits of Doan's Kidney Pills. If you suffer from backache, nervousness, sleeplessness, urinary disorders or any form of kidney ills, use a tested kidney medi cine. A La Grande citizen tells of Doan's Kidney Pills. Could you demand more convinc ing proof of merit? E. L.

' 1 had dull pains in my back and my kidneys got badly out of order. About three years ago I began using Doan's Kidney Pills, and the helped mt, I have sine re ft" ed on them. Whenever my back has bothered me, it has taken Doan's Kidney Pills only a short time to fix me up all right. I never used a better kidrfey medicine." ' Price 50c, at all dealers.
