Occasional attacks of backache, IT.
regular uriIation, headaches and dir

pass for a time, but return with
greater intensity. If there are symp-
toms of dropsy-puffy swellings be-
low the eyes, bloaiing of limbs and
ankles, or any part of the body, don l
delay a minute. Begin taking Doan's
Kidney Pills and keep up the treat
ment until the kidneys are well, when
your old time health and vigor will
return. Cures in Americas prove the
