BACK GIVES OUT.
PLENTY OF STAUNTON READERS HAVE
THIS EXPERIENCE.

THIS EXPERIENCE.
You tax the kidneys-OverwOrkt them
they can't keep up the continual
strain. The back gives QUIT aches
and pains; urinary troubles set in.
Don't wait longer-take Doan's Kidney
Pills.
Charles Lidgeway, living on Main
St., Luray. Va, says: 81 can speak OF
Doan's Kidney Pills in the highest
terms of praise. My back gave me
trouble for several years. If L stopped
or lifted anything sharp shooting pains
would pass through my loins, and
canse me the most intense misery. l
was unable to sleep at night as there
was dull heavy aching through the
small of my back that forced me to be
constantly changing my position. AS
the result of the loss of sleep l arose in
the morning feeling tired and worn out
and would have dull languid feelings
during the day. My general health
became affected, 1 consulted physicians,
used their medicines as well as many
advertised remedies, but nothing gave
me relief. A friend who had been SIM
ilarly affected and had been cured by
Doan's Kidney Pills, advised me to try
them and 1 procured a box at drug
store. They entirely cured the COM
plant and 1 have never felt the slight
est recurrence Of the trouble since. L
know that Doan's Kidney Pills act up
to their representation"
HOME PRoOF-There is plenty OF To-
cal testimony like the above. Call at
B. F. Hughes drug store and ask to
see copies of statements of Staunton
people who have used Doan's Kidney
Pills.
