KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL.
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Bookings People Know How
to Save IL.

Many Brookings people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these or
gans need help. Sick kidneys are
responsible for a vast amount Of SUI
fering and Ill health-the slightest de-
lay Is dangerous. Use Doan's Kidney
Pllls-a remedy that has cured thou
sands Of kidney sufferers. Here Is a
Brookings citizens recommendation.
X. H. Anderson, blacksmith, Sec
ond ST., Brookings, s. Oak, says: II
nave taken Doan's Kidney Pills and
can recommend them as an excellent
kidney medicine. My work brings a
constant strain on my back and
caused my kidneys to become weak
and disordered. There was stiffness
and lameness across my back and
I had sharp pains in my kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills have never failed
to relieve me and I therefore con-
slider them worthy Of the highest en-.
dorsement."
