Western Daily Mercury: Friday 10th May 1912

Plymouth is no Exception: The neighbouring towns teem with instances of local men and women who are frankly and unreservedly speaking out for the sake of others. It is gratifying to know that in Plymouth this generous feeling is not lacking. But it is even more gratifying to know that the Plymouth statements made many years ago are heartily endorsed to-day. Mr. S. Pinsent, of 31, Morley-place, Plymouth, says; “I have been a sufferer from sciatica for years, and I was so bad that I almost gave up hope of getting better. The pains used to strike right from the side down to the tips of his toes, and I was in such agony that I could not bear the clothes to touch me. It seemed as if something was trying to gnaw the flesh off my bones. The urinary secretions were out of order, too. I was so bad that I could neither walk, sit, nor sleep in comfort. I tried every remedy that I read of, or was told about, but all seemed in vain. At last my daughter advised me to try Doan’s backache kidney pills, and I got some. I did not get much benefit from the first box, I suppose, because I was so ill. I persevered, however, and after I had taken three boxes of Doan’s pills, I could tell they were doing me good. I kept on with them and took box after box until I was completely cured. The pain shifted gradually, but I had faith in Doan’s pills, and took thirteen boxes in all. I am glad to say how my faith was rewarded, for I have not been troubled with the pains since. I have recommended Doan’s pills to many people. (Signed) Samuel Pinsent.”  OVER 8 YEARS AFTER HIS CURE, Mr. Pinsent said: “I am glad to say that my cure by Doan’s pills has been a permanent one. I get a twinge of pain sometimes in cold weather, but a few of the pills soon put me right.” Doan’s backache kidney pills are two shillings and 6d per box, or six boxes for thirteen shillings and nine pence. Of all chemists and stores, or post free direct from the Foster- McClellan Co., 8, Wells – street, Oxford – street, London, W. Be sure you get the same pills as Mr. Pinsent had.
