WORK WEAKENS
THE KIDNEYS
Doan's Kidney Pills Have Done
Great Service for People Who
Work in Wjllmar.

Most Wi(lmar people work every
day in some strained, unnatural po-
sition- bending constantly over a
desk--riding on jolting wagons or
cars-doing laborious homework;
lifting, reaching or pulling, or try
ing the back in a hundred and one
other ways. All these strains tend
to wear, weaken and injure the
kidneys until they fall behind in
their work Of fltering the poisons
from the blood. Doan's Kidney
Pills cure sick kidneys, put new
strength in bad backs. Willmar
cures prove it.
J. H. Taylor, living at 314 Lake
Ave., Willmar, Minn., says: 81
have been troubled with my kidneys
for about two years and during
that time experienced great deal
of suffering. l am forced to work
in an Office day after day. land have
to sit in the same position for a
long time. This is no doubt the
cause of my kidney trouble. My
back ached constantly and at times
I felt very dizzy. Idoctored great
deal but got no relief from the an
noyances. My kidneys gave me a
great deal Of trouble and l did not
have any energy or ambition. At
last procured a box of Doan's Kid
ney Pills at A. E. Mossberg's drug
store and they went at once to the

good game, but Litchfeld out

chief factors of Litchfeld's victory
was the great kicking of their GEN.
