A LASTING EFFECT
This Evidence Should Prove Ever,
Claim Made for Doan's Kid
ney Pills in Wausau.

Relief from the pains and aches of a
bad back is always welcome to every
backache sufferer; but to cure lame,
weak or aching back is what's wanted.
Cure it so it will stay cured 1t can be
done. Here's the strongest evidence to
prove it:
Mrs Albert Mohr, of 612 jackson St.,
Wausau, Wis, says: after my hus-
band had suffered for twelve months
with backache he used Doan's Kidney
Pills, procured at AIbers' drug store and
found cure that has proved permanent
Up to that time every cold he took and
every exertion that brought a strain on
the muscles of his back was sure to
cause an attack of backache 1t was in
1898 that he used Doan's Kidney Pills
and since then he has had no trouble,
of the kind"

Weak
Hearts

Are due to indigestion. Ninety-nine of every
one hundred people who have heart trouble
can remember VIXEN 1t was simple indiges-
ton. II is scientific fact that all cases of
heart disease, not organic, are not only
traceabIe to, but are the direct result of indi-
gestion. All food taken into the stomach
which fails of perfect digestion ferments and
swellsthe stomach, putting II up against the
heart. This interferes with the action of
the heart, and in the course of time that
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.
