ALL WRONG.
THE MISTAKE is MADE BY MANY
BELFAST CITIZENS.

Don't mistake the cause of backache.
To be cured you must know the cause,
1t is wrong to imagine relief is cure.
Backache is kidney ache.
You must cure the kidneys
Belfast resident tells you how this can be
done.
Samuel l.. Moore. two and half miles from
the business center, says: Il have had attacks
of sharp piercing pain in the small of my back
and through my kidneys for number of years.
When they were in the acute stage some morn
ings when got out of bed my back felt lame and
sore for two or three hours until l moved about,
when 1t eased up a little and relief followed. l
have always noticed that during inclement
weather, or if | caught cold the attacks were
much more aggravated. AT all events ii not
caused by hard work in my younger days and
heavy lifting, when l made an attempt at over
exertiOn was always rewarded with excruciat-
ing twinges across the lOins that on some Occa-
sjOns dropped what was in my hands. Advertise
ments about Doan's Kidney Pills led me to go to
Edmund Wilson'S drug store for box and took
a course of the treatment -Four boxes brought
such undoubted benefit that / have not the
slightest hesitation in endorsing publicly Doan's
Kidney Pills. have repeatedly advised their
use to friends and acquaintance whom heard
complaining of backache.
For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents box
for the United States.
Remember the name-DOAN'S-and take no
substitute.
