They have been on the market for over 100 years in essentially the same formulation; the kidney reference is no longer on the package, they are considered effective as an analgesic. They probably look familiar because they're on the shelf next to the Motrin, Advil and Bayers at WaLMart and were advertised on tv until the 1990's.ldave45https://www.blogger.com/profile/01093870979901228548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8942596033889569832.post-48208733587315027082012-01-08T23:30:31.836-07:002012-01-08T23:30:31.836-07:00I agree.

Maybe my subconscious is remembering TV or radio ads, or maybe newspaper ads... just don't know what rings a bell for me and why.Fran Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06890524047344990593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8942596033889569832.post-43890628920074823192012-01-08T12:23:51.596-07:002012-01-08T12:23:51.596-07:00When I saw Doan's Pills, like you, it struck a...When I saw Doan's Pills, like you, it struck a chord in my memory... But I don't know why :-)<br />So familiar yet I cannot put my finger on it. Perhaps an old advertising campaign.<br />Regards,<br />Theresa (tangled trees)TCasteelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01261694755025450452noreply@blogger.com
