Every Household in Brownsville Should
Know How to Resist 1t.
The back aches because the kidneys
are blockaded.
Help the kidneys with their work.
The back will ache no more.
Lots of proof that Doan's Kidney Pills
do this.
Mrs. f. A Harris, Port Lavaca, Texas,
says: For several years suffered from
pains in the small of my back which
greatly panied me when 1 stopped or
attempted to lift anything. During the
night my rest was frequently broken and
I awoke in the morning feeling unrefres-
he'd. l was very tired and lauguid most
of the day. My kidney secretions were
also much trouble to me, as they were
frequent III action, contained sediment
and forced me to rise many times during
the night. Two boxes of Doan's Kidney
Pills greatly relieved me and continual
ton of their use, think, will result in
a complete cure. They did me more
good than any medicine / ever tried and
have no hesitancy i'll recommending
Doan's Kidney Pills to others suffering
from kidney tronble."
