WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong
And Healthy.

All the blood III the body passes
through the kidneys once every
three minutes. The kidneys filter
the blood. They work night and
day. When healthy they remove
about 500 grains of impure matter
daily, when unhealthy some part
of this impure matter is left in the
blood This brings on many dis
eases and SYMPTOMS pain in the
back, headache, nervousness, hot,
dry skin, rheumatism, govt, gravel
disorders of the eyesight and hear
ing, dizziness, irregular heart, de-
bility, drowsincss, dropsy, deposits
in the urine, etc. But if you keep
the filters right you will have no
trouble with your kidneys.
G. K. Page, real estate and in
Surance agent, OF Corpus Christi,
Texas, says: Mr.. wife thinks a
great deal of Doan's Kidney Pills
and says they relieved the dull
aching pain i'll her back which had
given her considerable annoyance
for over a year. They also correct
ed the action of the kidney secre-
tons (which had been rather irreg-
ular. Knowing this to be fact
I have no hesitation in endorsing
this remedy, and trust it may be
the means of helping others SINH
larly afflicted"
