Put That Pain to Use

The network of nerves in your body,
IKE the network of wires in a burglar
alarm system, gives quick warning
when anything is going wrong inside.
Looking at it in this way a pain is
q useful alarm. Now, kidney weak
ness is dangerous thing-a condition
not to be neglected-and it is wise
to know and pay attention to the early
alarm signals of sick kidneys.
Backache is a common warning of
congestion or Inflammation in the kid
neys. 1t may be dull. nagging pain, or
a sharp twinge when STOPPING or lift
ing. There are likely to be disorders
of urination. dizziness, headaches, and
drowsy. respondent, tired feelings.
1t Is very hard to strengthen weak
kidneys at first. but neglect invites
rheumatic or neuralgia attacks, gravel.
dropsy, and fatal Bright's disease.
As special medicine for weak kid
neys Doan's Kidney Pills have been
used for years all over the civilized
world. and surely are considered reli-
able. The patient can always help the
medicine immensely, however, by diet
ing lightly. using little or no liquor,
tea or coffee. keeping regular hours
and drinking lots of pure water.
