This advertisement appeared in the Sheffield Daily Telegraph dated 20th November 1907 in which Mrs Agnes Bland age 39 years old recounts her ailments that are really getting her down. So much so that she wonders if she will ever attain good health ever again.
But she has sought solace in Doan's Backache Kidney Pills which appear to be doing the trick.
The reason why I was drawn to this advertisement is that I am related to Agnes - she is my great grandaunt - my great grandfathers younger sister. If these conditions is hereditary (have a genetic basis) it looks as though I may be reaching for mi Doan's.
(Note Agnes lasted another ten years dying in November 1917 at the age of fifty. She is buried in Walkley Cemetery.)
