Kidney Troubles May be Sapping Your
Life Away. Cresco People Have
Learned This Fact.

When healthy man or woman be-
gins to run down without apparent
cause, becomes weak, languid, depress-
ed, suffers backache, headache, dizzy
spells and urinary disorders, kidney
weakness may be the cause of it all.
Keep the kidneys we'll and they will
keep you well. Doan's Kidney Pills
cure sick kidneys and keep them we'll.
Can Cresco readers demand further
proof than the following statement:
John Duffy, 2O6 Lloyd ST., DEBORAH,
Iowa, says: About three years ago,
while living in Minnesota, became af-
tlicted with kidney trouble. The first
symptoms was a slight pain in my
back and hips which gradually increas-
ed until could hardly bend. When l
managed to stoop, | had to have assis-
lance in Strengthening. also had head
aches and dizzy spells and felt misera-
BILE in every way. Great annoyance
was also caused by irregular passages
of the kidney secretions. None of the
remedies used helped me and when
Doan's Kidney pills were brought to
my attention, had but little faith in
them. gave them a trial, however,
and was surprised and gratified by the
quick relief that followed their use. Ia
a remarkably short time, could stooE
without the slightest inconvenience
and after had used four boxes of the
remedy was well man. l cannot
praise Doan's Kidney Pills too highly. "
