Health Is Worth Saving, and Some Barre
People Know How to Save 1t.

Many Barre people take their lives in
their hands By neglectng Tie kidneys,
when they know these organs need help
Sick kidneys are responsible for vast
amount Of suffering and i'll health, but
there is no need to suffer nor to remain
in danger, when all diseases and aches
and pains due to weak kidneys can Be
quickly and permanently cured by the
use Of Doan's Kidney Pills Here Is a
Barre citizens recommendation,
Mrs. Della Stephens, 1857 Seminary
street, Barre, W, says: Z know from
experience that Doan's Kidney pills are
a reliable remedy. My first trial Of
them dates back three or four years ago.
Severe pains in my back caused me no
end Of sufferings, and mornings, when
! awoke, was stiff and lame across
the kidneys. A tired, languid feeling
chung to me, had headaches and dizzy
spells and was also bothered a great
deal by kidney weakness Good re-
ports about Doans Kidney Pills led me
TO try them. They help me from the
first, and continued use relieved all my
suffering"
