the region of the kidneys, and again the
loins are so lame to stoop is agony. No
use to rub or apply plaster to the back
in this condition. You cannot reach the
cause. Exchange the bad back for a
new and stronger one. Snow Hill resi-
dents would do well to profit by the fol-
lowing example:
Mrs. Sarah T.. Dennis, 703 Poplar Hill

badly disordered. My back was weak
and the kidney secretions were unnat-

and my feet and hands often became
swollen. ] at last procured Doan's Kid
