ONLY ONE "BEST"
Portland People Give Credit
Where Credit Is Due
- People of Portland who suffer with
lck kidneys and bad backs want a
kidney remedy that can be depended
upon. Ths best Is Doan's Kidney Pills,
a medicine for the kidneys only, made
, from pure roots and herbs, and the only
one that is backed by cures in Portland.
Here's Portland testimony;
H. R.- McCarver, Itvlng at 286 Holla
day jSL. Portland, Oregon, says: "Some
years ago Doan's Kidney Pills proved
of great benefit to me and I publicly
: recommend them. Since that time I
have advised many of my fellow work
wen to give them a trial and the re
sults of their use have been satisfac
tory in every instance. I believe kid
ney trouble In my case was brought on
by a cold contracted. I had backaches
and other marked symptoms of dis
ordered kidneys, which caused me much
suffering. I had always been somewhat
skeptical regarding proprietary medi
cines but somehow the claTma'made for
Doan's Kidney Pills Impressed me in
favor of this remedy and I began its
use. Relief soon followed and I have

the lower house today with reference
to President Roosevelt's remarks in his

Shortens your food Lengthens your lifo
Cottolene is a cleanly, wholesome product It is made from cotton-seed oil, .
in a thoroughly modern and hygienic manner, and is just as pure as olive oil. It,
moreover, makes palatable, digestible, healthful food which will agree with the
most delicate stomach. Lard food on the contrary, is indigestible, and will cause
trouble if its use is persisted in.
Cottolene is endorsed by the most prominent cooks and household economists
of the country, as well as by those of the medical profession who make a special
study of pure food. There is no substitute for Cottolene, because there is no short
ening so good as Cottolene. , It stands alone, as everyone who has used it accord
ing to directions will verify.
