WHAT THE KIDNEYSsDO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong
and Healthy.

ana f1ealthy.
All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when IN
healthy some part of this Impure mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms-pain
in the back. headache, nervousness,
hot, dry skin, rheumatism. govt.
gravel, disorders of the eyesight and
hearing, dizziness. irregular heart.
debility, drowsiness, dropsy. deposits
in the urine, etc. But if you keep
the filters right you will have no
trouble with your kidneys.
Mrs S. B. Newman, Lancaster,
Wis, says: about two years ago
I contracted kidney trouble and suf
fered intensely from backaches and
pains through my kidneys, Headaches
and dizzy spells were also present and
there were other symptoms of dsor-
dered kidneys. I used Doan's Kidney
Pills, procured from j. D. Hatch s
Drug Store, and obtained great bene-
fit. I have no hesitation in recon-
