usually renders the sufferer unfit
for work and often results in per-
manent disability.
Il suffered for years with my
back, or kidney trouble, and have
tried a number of remedies from
different physicians. More than
year ago, one of our local druggists
induced me to try
Dr.. Miles, Anti-Pain Pills
and after using them some three
months found decided improve
ment in my kidneys, and I am glad
to say that hope soon to be fully
restored to health" J. P. ALLEN,
Ex-Judge City Court, Glasgow, Ky.

part of the body rest is impossible
and the system becoming weakened
is exposed to any form of disease to
which the sufferer may be inclined.
