very much troubled with weak kidneys.
When he was six years he would go in
bathing frequently and remain in for a
long time. That was when L noticed
first any difficulty with his kidneys, but
he got SO bad that he would wet the bed
every night. I have taken him up at Il

times before morning. This caused me
any amount of work and I was not
strong and besides I knew it should not
be nelgeoted, yet we got nothing to re-

about Doan's Kidney Pills that they
would prevent such occurrences and ]
