WHAT THE KIDyEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps
 Us Strong and Healthy

All the blood in the body spasses through the kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys filter the blood They work night and day. When healthy they remove about 500 grains of impure matter daily, when un- healthy some part of this impure mat many diseases and ptoms-which vary widely but may include pain in the back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheumatic pains, gout. t.gravei, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness, irregular heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the filters right the danger is overcome. Doan's Kidney Pills have proven an effective kidney medicine.
 Mrs. Joseph Mason, Ts Battey street, Putnam, says: aI suffered severely from lame back and other symptoms of disordered kidneys Doan's Kidney Pills did me more good than any other remedy 1 ever used, removing the pains and aches and making my kid neys normal. Another of my family got great benefit from this remedy.0
 Mrs. Mason is only one of many Putnam people who have gratefully endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your back aches-if your kidneys bother you don't simply ask for kid ney remedy-ask distinctly for Doan' Kidney Pills, the same that Mrs. Ma son had-the remedy backed by home testimony. 5Oc all stores.
