You can't separate them.
And you can't get rid of the back
ache until you cure the kidney ache.
If the kidneys are well and strong,
the rest of the system is pretty sure
to be in vigorous health.
tDoan's Kidney Pills make strong,
healthy kidneys.

lconfdentially recommend Doans Kid
ney Pills today as did FIVE years ago,
after observing the experience of my
husband in using them. He suffered
for a great many eyars from pain
in the back. Nothing seemed to
help him until he got Doan's Kidney
pills at Flocken's Pharmacy and
found relief after the first few doses.
An extended treatment rid him OF the
backache and all the pains in the loins

the kidneys until the secretions be-
