FOUND IT OUT.

Many a Wausau citizen is finding it
out.
A backache always means kidney
trouble.
The beginnin.- is always tn backache.
The ending may be Bright's Disease.
Read the following case of Wausau
citizen, who found the remedy in tins:
Mr.. j. f. H0ene, of l13 s. 18th ST, pat
tern maker at the d. j. Murray Mfg.
Co., says: After a man retires for the
night expecting rest, if he is compelled
to roll and toss, first trying to sleep on
one side and then on the other, then on
his back, then on his stomach, then if he
is unable to sleep has to rise, walk
about the floor, try his bed for the sec
ond time and perhaps the third time,
and all this is due to either overexcited
or inactive kidneys, he knows what kid
ney complaint really is. For seven
years had attacks of it and despite the
use of medicines, preparations, and the
treatment of skilful physicians | was
unable to check the attacks, much less
cure them. Noticing an announcement
about Doan's Kidney Pills it struck me
if they performed half what they prom
ised they might bring me the assistance
was anxiously longing for, so | pro-
cured a box at Alber's drug store and
commenced the treatment. Much to
my surprise and considerable more to
my satisfaction, the backache left, and
the other complications of kidney
trouble which existed. | thought they
would return, was up on Lake Super.
| ior in saw mill for the company dur
ing very rough weather and 1 did not
notice symptom of my cd complaint.
