KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL.
Health Is Worth Saving, and Some
Brookinos People Know How
70 Save Re.

Many Brookings people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are respons-
ible for a 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 due to weak
kidneys can be quickly and perma-
nently cured by the use Of Doan's
Kidney Pills. The following state
ment leaves no ground for doubt.
Eben Robbins, sol First ST., S. W.,
Watertown, s. D., says: while in
the Civil War the hard life of a caval-
ryman weakened my kidneys. Twenty
years ago I consulted a physician and
he stated that / was suffering from
Bright's disease. My back was very
lame and the secretions from my kid
neys were too frequent in passage. I
gradually grew worse and when ad-
vised to try Doan's Kidney Pills, I
procured a box. Since using them ev-
cry symptom Of my kidney trouble has
disappeared and I have felt much
stronger. I am overconfident that
this remedy will help anyone suffer-
ing from kidney disease"
