WHY WOMEN SUFFER-.

Women have so much to go through in life that it is pity there is so much needless suffering from backache, headache, dizziness, Ian guor and other common aches and ills of kidney complaint.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have brought new life and strength to thousands of women afflicted in this way.
 Women are. prone to kidney trou- ble. They have so much indoor work to do, so much lifting, bending and stooping; they are bound by custom, to tight, heavy clothing. They get little outdoor exercise, and any little cold may bring on a kidney weak ness.
 Don't worry if you feel tired and dragged out-if you have backache and bearing-down pains, headache, dizzy spells, faintness and lack ambi- tion. Don't think it's some trouble peculiar to the sex Men suffer in the same way when they have kidney trouble.
 Ask yourself this question: "Aro my kidneys we'll? The condition of the kidney secretions may give you an answer. If there is brick dust sediment, or a stringy settling in tho urine; If passages are too frequent and copious, or scanty and painful, 1t Is time to begin using Doan's Kidney Pills. Delay may run you into

Brfght's disease or diabetes.

Brfght's disease or diabetes. Doan's Kidney Pills are a special medicine for the kidneys, and do not affect the bowels or any other organs. There is not particle of poison in them-just the pure roots and herbs that nature intended for curing the kidneys.
 Doan's Kidney Pills cure every form of kidney trouble. Read the testimony of a woman of your own city, perhaps neighbor.
 WATERBURY TESTIMONY.
 Mrs Margaret Wilson of S4 East East Clay street, Waterbury, Conn. says: "I suffered for long timc with dull. heavy bearing down pains across the loins, lameness in tho small of my back and was in such bad shape at times that I could hard ly attend to my housework. I was so lame I could not get up or down stairs. There was a constant pain be- tween my shoulders. One of my boarders advised me to try Doan's Kidney Pills, saying that they had cured him of similar trouble years ago. He spoke so highly of them that sent to the H. W. Lake Drug Go for box and used the pills as di- rected. I found quick relief and in time an effectual cure. I have not had any return of the trouble sinea."
