HANDIC CAPPED
This is the Case With Many Norwich
 People.

Too many Norwich citizens arc handicapped with bad backs. The un- ceasing pain causes constant misery. making work a burden and stopping or lifting an impossibility. The back aches at night, preventing refreshing rest, and in the morning is stiff and lame. Plasters and liniments may give relief but cannot reach the cause if the kidneys are weak To eliminate the pains and aches of kidney back ache you must cure the kidneys.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys-thousand testify to their merit Can you doubt Norwich evil dence?
 Mrs. Margaret Brown. sS6 W. Main St., Norwich, Conn.,, says My back was in bad shape and I suffered se- verely from dull, heavy pains across my kidneys. It was almost impossible for me to get out of bed in the morn ing and I felt miserable in every way. I tried various remedies but was not helped and when I read of Doan's Kid ney Pills, I procured a supply at N. D. Sevin 6, Sons Drug Store. They made me feel like a different woman, re- storing my kidneys to normal condi- ton and removing the pains in my back"
