Kidney ills seize young and old.
 Come quickly with little warning
 Children suffer in their early years
 Can't control the kidney secretions
 Girls are languid, nervous, suffer pain.
 Women worry. cant do daily work
 Men have lame and aching backs
 The cure for man, woman or child
 Is to cure the cause.-the kidneys
 Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kid neys-
 Cure all forms of kidney suffering
 Norwich testimony proves it.
 Mrs. J. c. Sheppard. living at 1O7 High Street, Norwich, Conn. says: q consider Doan's Kidney Pills an in dispensable remedy for kidney and bladder trouble. Several years ago MT. Sheppard and myself first used Doan's Kidney Pills and learned of their great value. They proved very effective at that time. bringing posi- tive relief from pain in the back and correcting kidney irregularities, com plaints that had caused us both great deal of annoyance. We procured Doan's Kidney Pills from N. D. Sevin & Sons drug store. They have since been a household remedy and we know they can always be relied upon.%
