Backache Makes Anyone Feel Old

Nothing ages anyone more quickly than
weak kidneys.
1t is not alone the aching back. the stiff,

The condition of the kidneys makes good
health or i'll health.
The kidneys are the filters of the blood.
Active kidneys filter from the blood ev-
cry day over one ounce Of poisonous waste
and pass it off dissolved in the urine.
If the kidneys are weak or diseased. only
part of this filtering is done and the blood
is heavy with uric acid and other poison

Instead of being nourished by the
blood, the nerves and vital organs are IT.

are disturbed
If your back aches constantly, if your
joints are stiff, lame and painful, suspect
the kidneys
Kidney sufferers are likely to feel dull,
heavy, restless at night. rheumatic, dizzy
at times, subject to headaches and an
noyed with sharp, piercing pains that
make work an agony and rest impossible
Doan's Kidney Pills are the best -recom-
mended and most widely used remedy for
weak or diseased kidneys. They act quick

of any kind-just make you feel better all
