is IT YOUR KIDNEYsf
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles. A Mexico Citizen
Gives Valuable Hint.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it IS only muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And so it is
with all the other symptoms of kidney
disorders. That is where danger often
lies. You should realize that these
troubles often lead to dropsy OF
Bright's disease. An effective remedy
for weak or diseased kidneys is
Doan's Kidney Pills. Read the ex-
perience of resident of Mexico who
has tested Doan's.
C. F. Hagar, shoemaker, R. F. d.
No. 6, Mexico, says: II was badly
troubled by weak and aching back.
l procured box Of Doan's Kidney
Pills at Llewellyn & Sons Drug Store
and they gave me great relief. Since
then, if any of the former symptoms
Of my complaint appear, get Doan's
Kidney Pills and always use them
with success"
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy get
Doail's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mr.. Hagar had. Foster Milburn Co.,
