HEED THE WARNING
Many Bridgeport People
 Have Done So.

When the kidneys are sick they give unmistakeable warnings that should not be ignored. By examining the urine and treating the kidneys upon the first sign of disorder, many days of suffering may be saved. Sick kid news expel a dark, ill-smelling urine, full of "brick-dust'' sediment and painful in passage. Sluggish kidneys cause a dull pain in the small of the back, headaches, dizzy spells, tired, languid feelings and frequently rheu- matic twinges.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kid neys only; they ~cure sick kidneys. and rid the blood of uric poison. If you suffer from any of the above symp- toms you can use no better remedy.
 Bridgeport people recommend Doan' S Kidney Pills.
 Mrs. Harriet Dennese, 33 Harrison St.. Bridgeport, Conn.,, says: 'I know of no remedy as reliable as Doan' S Kidney Pills. They have been used in my household for many years and we have the utmost confidence in their ability to cure kidney trouble. When ever any members of the family have backache or any other symptoms o@ disordered kidneys, Doan's Kidney Pills are resorted to at once and never fail to cure the attack. l have also tested this remedy myself and was not disappointed with the results.
