while thus engaged that felt the
first symptoms of kidney trouble. l
believe the complaint was caused by
constant standing and the jarring 1
received. The first symptom was back
ache, which caught me directly over the
kidneys. I paid little attention to this
trouble, thinking it would soon pass
away Of its own accord, but such was
not the case. 1 gradually grew worse

weakness set in and I was bothered
both day and night by a frequent de-
sire to pass the kidney secretions. My
feet and limbs were badly swollen and
the doctors said I had dropsy. l took
any amount of medicine, but did not
improve and finally the doctors told my
wife that they could do nothing more
for me. I had lost flesh until weighed

At this critical period my VIE noticed
an advertisement about Doan s Back

that they would help me. She pro-
