Family Cares
This Information May Be of Value
to Many a Mother in
Lexington

When there Is added to the many
cares inseparable from the rearing OF
children that affection of weakness Of
the kidneys and auxiliary organs. the
mothers lot is far from a happy one.
This condition can be quickly changed
and absolutely cured by the use of
Doan's Kidney Pills. When this is
known the mothers burden will be
lighter and her home happier.
e. H, Flggat, clerk In X. \. Ander-
sons crockery store, residing on
Main street, says: II can highly advise
the use OF Doans Kidney Pills for chill
dren who suffer from kidney and urinary
disease. My little seven-year old
daughter showed a weakness OF the
kidneys. We felt sure those organs
were the cause fer at night she did not
have the proper control over secretions.
NY wife saw Doan's Kidney Pills ad-
vertised aud got box at Il. H. Cor
relps drug store. They were given to
the child regularly in reduced doses, and
in a short time there was a very
noticeable improvement in her eondi-
ton. The cost of Doan's Kidney Pills
Is nothing compared to doctors bills,
and their work is decidedly satisfac-
tory"
