KEEP THE KIDNEYS We'll.
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Bemidji People Know How to
Save II.

Many Bemidji people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting
the kidneys when they know these
organs need help. Sick kidneys are
responsible for vast amount of
suffering and ill health, but there is
no need to suffer nor to remain in
danger when all diseases and pains
due to weak kidneys can be quickly
and permanently cured by the use
Of Doan's Kidney Pills. Here is
Bemidii citizens recommendation.
Mrs. A. VanVard, living at 1918
Beltrami Ave-, Bemidji, Mimi, I
have used Doan's Kidney Pills with
highly satisfactory results and can
truthfully recommend them to any
one suffering from kidney complaint.
For sometime I had dull pain in
my back which caused me much
discomfort. Other symptoms showed
thatmy kidneys were disordered and
were the cause of my suffering. /
saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised
for such complaints, and deciding to
try them, procured a box at the Owl
Drug. Store. I used them carefully
as directed, soon the pains dis
appeared and now my kidneys are
much stronger. ] am confident that
the relief / received from the use of
Doan's Kidney pills will prove per-
manent and it gives me great
pleasure to recommend them to
