 For bachache is really kidney-ache.
 A kidney cure is what you need.
 Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kid neys.
 Cure backache and urinary ills.
 Good proof in the following state ment:
 Joseph Coulson, AS w. Washington street, Phoenix, Ariz, says: "For some time I was about laid up with my back. There was dull, nagging pain across by loins and kidneys which bothered me almost constantly. About two years ago I had fall which injured my back and I was unconscious for many hours. This was the beginning of my trouble and I knew that my kidneys were affected. The use of three boxes of Doan n's Kid ney Pills brought me relief and I have had no trouble to speak of since. I am a strong advocate of Doan s Kidney Pills. {"
