Langdon Residents Are Learning How to tx
change the Old Back For q Strong One

Does your back ache feel weak and
painful? Do you suffer headaches,
languor and depression? Is the urine
discolored, passages irregular? The
kidneys may be calling for help.
Weak kidneys cannot do their work.
Give them the help they need. To
cure kidney backache you must cure
the kidneys. Use a tested and proven
remedy. Doan's kidney pills have
stood the test. Convincing proof of
merit in the following endorsement:
Mrs. T. A. Catherwood, Park
River, N. D., says: "Some years
ago l told in a public statment how l
had suffered from kidney complaint,
having terrible pain in my back and
headaches. Doan's kidney pills cured
me. Since then l have always recon-
mended this medicine when | have had
a chance and will continue to do So. "
