teet the Approach of Kidney
Disease,


The symptoms of kidney trouble
are so unmistakable that they leave
no ground for doubt. Sick kidneys ex-
crete a thick cloudy, offensive urine,
full of sediment, irregular of pas
sage or attended by a sensation of
scalding. The back aches constant
ly, headaches and dizzy spells may oc-
cur and the victim is often weighed
down by n feeling of languor and IA
tigue. Neglect these warnings and
there is danger of dropsy, Bright's
disease. or diabetes. Any one of
these symptoms is warning enough
to begin treating the kidneys at once.
Delay often proves fatal.
You can use no better remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's Calumet
