A famous English novelist tells of a
hillside Scotch village with no special
beauty, but which once every twenty-
four lionrs at the close of day becomes
transfigured. The kirk nnd cot stand
bathed In sunset glory. So the year’»
doings and happenings, though com­

ions are enjoyed and memories record
• iod's unfailing goodness in hla house.
Such transfiguration Is Thanksgiving

A UNIQUE RECORD
A Few Like It In Our Broad Republic
Grateful teatin ouy o f Dosn's Kidney
Pills, published everywhere in o f itself

Con­
firmed testimony forma still stronger
evidence. Years ago a citizen o f this
locality gratefully acknowledged tho
benefit derived from Doan’s Kidney
Kidney Pills.
The statement ia now
confirmed—the proof more convincing.
Cases o f this kind are plentiful in the
work of Doan’ s Kidney Pills— tho rec­
ord is unique.
I’, W. Prown, retired farmer, 1499
State St., Salem, Oregon., says: Hard
work weakened my kidneys and I often
felt the effect in latrenoss and soreness
across the small o f my back. Finally
my attention wns called to Doan’s
Kidney Pills and I used some. Tho
backache nnd soreness left me. State­
ment given January 31, 1906.
S T IL L USES D O A N ’ S
On April 11, 1916, Mr. Hrown said:
I still consider Doan’s Kidney Pills a
medicine nf merit and they alwaya do
good work whenever I take them.
Price 50c, at all dealers.
Don’ t
