"Every Step a Torture," Says Mrs. Whitenack--Bat Doan's Cored Her Mrs. Florence Whitenack, M strong Ave., Jersey City, N. J., says: "I suffered with rheumatism for six or seven years. My limbs and joints were so stiff and swollen, I could walk only with difficulty and the pains in my hips were bu severs, £ could hardly be& them. Every step I took was torture. My feet and limbs were swollen and so sore, I could hardly bear my weight on them. Dur­ ing the night I would lie awake for hours and be­ come so nervous, I would have to get up. Dizziness came over me suddenly and my sight blurred. I was ' never free from the miserable backaches and rheumatic pains. 1 used different remedies, but I didn't get any better. Then I com­ menced to use Doan's Kidney Pills. The swellings began to leave right away and I continued to use them. The pains and aches left my back and hips and I am cured of the rheumatism and all signs of kidney trouble." Sworn to before ROBERT KING SK1DEL, - Nntaru Public.
