If the reader wants stronger proof
than the following statement and ex
perience of a resident of Indepen
dence, what can it be?
Zed Rosendorf, clothing merchant,
living on Main street, Independence,
Ore., says: "I do not believe there
is anyone who has suffered from kid
ney complaint more severely than
I. For ten years I was troubled with
this complaint and finally became so
bad and my back became so weak
and stiff that I was forced to walk
in a stooped over position. My kid
neys were in a terrible slitlpe and
caused me to arise almost constantly
during the night to pass the secre
tions. Often at night I would have
to sit up, not being able to rest in
any position. My limbs were swollen
and my eyes puffed so severely at
times that I hardly knew what to do.
I doctored witli many physicians but
was told that I had an excess am
omit of sugar In my system and that
there was no help for me. I tried
everything and finally heard about
Doan's Kidney Tills. They helped
me from the first, and I am today so
free from kidney complaint that I
am unable to express my gratifica
tion. I am able to stand erect and
my kdlneys are nearly normal. I
believe there is nothing in the world
for kidney trouble like Doan's Kid
ney Pills."

San Franoisco, Oct. 17. The at

The matter calls into question the

Churches Should Help.
"If the community wants to get
