This 1ntoresta nvory Woman.

A family doctor said recently that
women come to him thinking that they
have female trouble, but when he treats
them for their kidneys and bladder,
they soon recover. This is worth know

times You cannot get better purer
medicine for backache, irregular kidney
and bladder action aud nervousness due
to kidney troubles. Try them. They
are tonic in action, quick in results.
