I tried all the remedies advertised, and rubbed with all the rubbing stuff, but got no relief. One day I read in the papers about the wonderful cures effected by Baker's Backache Pellets, and sent for a box. For years I could not walk without sitting down every few steps; but now, after taking Baker's Backache Pellets for just one week, I can walk without pain."

Enough Saici Ra- ewjjil fissu^anae I T Qsivpsr.5lj. No further argument is needed. All Tonypandy were concerned a bout was whether Mr. Davies s statement made -in 19G9 Mould be doubly proved by time. It is so proved. What could be better than double proof given here-it is Tonypandy proof. On July 9th, 1909, Mr. B. Davies, of 51 Dunraven-street, Tonypandy, said:—"My work as a miner necessitates a lot of bend- ing and having to get into all sorts of positions. Some months ago, I beg^r, to suffer with kidney trouble, and it was r-o bad at times that I hardly knew what to do to keep going. I was practically obliged to roll out of bod in the mornings, and often felt quite unfit for the day's work. I had nasty beadachet and dizziness, and my rest at nights was disturbed. The kidney excretions were disordered and leit a sediment. I tried all sorts of things, but could only get temporary relief. At last I was induced to. try Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, and these proved to be the best medi- cine I had ever taken, for they gave me benefit from the first. By the time I had taken three boxes of the pills I was in good health again. I have often- recom- mended Doan's pills since." (Signed) B. Davies. On March 28th, 1916-NEARLY SEVEN YEARS LATER—Mr. Davies said-I am very well indeed now. Doan's pills keeps me fit. Wticki I think how bad my back used to be, I am more than pleased to recommcnd them to others." Doan's Backache Kidney Pills relieve rfbngestion and inflammation of the kidneys, and promote a free flow from the bladder, so that the uric acid poison which causes rheumatism, backache, gravel, urinary disorders, and so many other com- plaints, is flushed out of the system. Of all dealers, or 2s. 9cT. a box, from Foster-McClellan. Co., .8 Wells-street, Ox- ford-street, London, W.
