Those sharp twinges in the back.
those stabilize pains that follow any
sudden twist or turn. are simple signs
of hidden danger i'm the kidneys
No trouble starts more easily. gains
ground more rapidly, nor proves
more often fatal than any disorder of
the kidneys. All the outward APP
pearances of health may remain until
4 terrible disease has taken root.
II is best to learn the duties Of the
kidneys. To- watch for early signs Of
trouble and to correct any Irregular
ity before its serious stage begins.
Don't wait. The moment you feel
any measincss. lameness or pain la

irregularity. either in its appearance.
or in the quantity or number of the
passages. begin with Doan's Kidney
Pills. This remedy has been curing
