TOLD IN DUNCAN
A RESIDENT KNOWN TO ALL OUR READ-
ERS RELATES AN EXPERIENCE
Readers of the Banner have
been told again and again of the
merits of that reliable time-
proved kidney remedy— Doan’s
Kidney Pills The experiences
told are not those of unknown
persons living far away The
cases are Duncan cases told by
Duncan people
J 0 West farmer Duncan
says: “I worked on the railroad
for a couple of years and the
jarring and jolting of the train
put my kidneys in bad shape so
I had to give up my work My
back was sore and had an awful
pain through it every time the
train went over a switch My
kidneys acted irregularly and the
kidney secretions contained brick
dust-like sediment Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills which I bought at the
Palace Drug Store helped me
When I had taken four boxes
the pains disappeared from my
back and my kidneys acted nor-
mally” GOq at all dealers Foster-Mil-bnrn

YEARS OF TROUBLE
ENDED AND SHE HAS
GAINED 15 POUNDS
"Hf FRIENDS SAY I'M LOOKING YEARS
YOUNGER" SHE SAYS-TANLAC
BRINGS RELIEF
“When I began taking Tanlac
I had been down in bed for thrffe 1
months and just think of it I’m
feeling as strong and healthy as
I ever felt in my life” said Mrs
Mollie J Lord who resides at
the East Denver High' School
Denver Colorado in an inter-'
view recently Mrs Lord has
lived in Denver for the pastj
twenty-five years her husband
has been in charge of the East
Denver High School building for
twenty-two years and they are
highly respected by all who
know them
“Years ago” continued Mrs
Lord “I had an attack of bron-
chitis from which I contracted
catarrh of the head and stomach
The trouble got a firm grip on
me because for a long time I
j tried to make myself believe I
didn’t have catarrh but at last
I realized I was in a bad fix My
nose and throat were feverish
and the mucus collecting in my
throat would nauseate and al-
most choke me My stomach
got in such a bad condition I
couldn’t even eat potatoes or
toast In fact everything would
sour almost as soon as I had eat-
en it and the gas caused such a
burning and fluttering around
my heart that I was afraid I had
heart trouble Sleep seemed im-
possible for me I would toss
and roll in bed and have to jump
up every little while so I could
get my breath My kidneys wor-
ried me constantly and my back
hurt me so bad at times it felt
like it would break in two
“I doctored and took every-
thing I heard 5f but kept getting
worse until I just had to give up
and go to bed I never got any
better until I began taking Tan-
lac and it certainly has been a
godsend to me I can tell from

the way my clothes fit that S
have gained all of fifteen pounds
and I have not only gotten entire
relief from the catarrh in both
my head and stomach but my
kidneys are also in perfect
condition and I don’t have anv
more pain in my back I go t
sleep as soon as I get in bed and
sleep soundly all night long My
stomach never troubles me now
and ohi it’s such a pleasure tt
be able to eat what I want with
out suffering afterwards Ancf
since the eras has stopped form-
ing all the burning sensation ancf
palpitation of the heart is gone
My friends say I’m looking years
younger and I can certainly en-
dorse Tanlac in the highest
terms and expect to always ham

it”
