Don't Wait for the Fatal Stages of Kidney Illness. Profit by Canaan
 Peoples Experiences.

Occasional attacks of backnche, ir- regular urination, headaches and dizzy spells are common early symptoms of kidney disorders. It's an error to neglect these ills. The attacks may pass off for a time but return with greater intensity. If there are symptoms of dropsy-puffy swellings below the eyes, bloating of limbs and ankles, or any part of the body, don't delay a minute. Begin taking Doan's Kidney Pills, and keep up the treatment until the kidneys arc well, when your old time health and vigor. will return. Cures in Canaan prove the effectiveness of thls great kidney remedy.
 James o. Snyder, living in Canaan. Conn. says: "Doan's Kidney Pills proved very satisfactory to my case, My kidneys had been in a disordered condition for some time and often had a diffi- culty in voiding the secretions. When the attacks were at their height, my back would ache in- tensely and if stopped, 1t was hard for me to assume an erect position. Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to my attention, procured them from John l.. Thurloug's drug store, and in . short time after beginning their use, received relief. l continued taking Doan's Kidney Pills and the results were so satisfactory that take pleasure in endorsing this remedy to other sufferers"
