kidneys were weak. Whenever l took
cold, it always made the trouble
worse, bringing on pains in my back.
If exerted, l had the same results.

to help me quickly. Others in the
family have used Doan's Kidney Pills
with satisfactory results"

which was soon begun in earnest.
Operations were started on the flat
stretch of low land between the Guy

be continued just as long as the road
overseer will remain on the job and
direct the work. Some eighteen or
twenty teams are promised and they
will work by relays from day to day

three pounds of this mysterious, mir
