IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Trouble. A Fredericksburg
Citizen Shows How to Cure
Them.

MANY people never suspect their kid
news. If suffering from lame, weak
or aching back they think that it is only
a muscular weakness; when urinary
trouble sets in they think it will soon
correct itself. And so it is with all the
other symptoms of kidney disorders.
That is Just where the danger lies. You
must cure these troubles or they may
lead to diabetes or Bright's disease.
The best remedy to use is Doan's Kidney
Pills. Ii cures all ills which are caused
by weak or diseased kidneys. Freder-
icksburg people testify to permanent
cures.
George NJ. Hunt, Jr., 704 Commerce
Street, Fredericksburg, Va, says: 81
know from experience that Doan's Kid
ney Pills are unequaled for curing pains
in the back. About two years ago
suddenly began to suffer from pains
through my loins and | had an idea
what caused the trouble. Seeing Doan's
Kidney Pills highly recommended
through the local papers by Fredericks-
burg people who had taken them, was
led to get supply at Goolrick 8 Modern
Pharmacy. The contents of two boxes
strengthened my back and drove away
the trouble and ] have been in good
health since. / give Doan's Kidney
Pills my strongest Enforcement.

credit upon itself and the High School
in every game.

poses to make an amendment to its
constitution, changing the quorum
from eleven to five.
