DON'T EXPERIMENT.
You Will Make no Mistake if You Follow
This Belfast Citizens Advice.

Never neglect your kidneys. ---
If you have pain in the back, urinary disor-
ders, dizziness and nervousness. it's time to
act and no time to experiment. These are
frequently symptoms of kidney trouble, and a
remedy which is recommended for the kidneys
should be taken in time.
Deans Kidney Pills is a good remedy to use
No need to experiment 1t has acted effective
ly in many cases in Belfast. Follow the advice
of Belfast citizen.
II feel it no more than my duty to say few
words in praise of Doan's Kidney Pills." says
Mrs. G. L. Field of Union street, Belfast.
"For some time had severe pains across my
kidneys and the kidney secretions were I'M
natural. l tried several remedies but got little
or no relief. Finally, l used Doan's Kidney
Pills, getting them at the City Drug Store, and
soon noticed change for the better. After
taking one box, the trouble left. Doan's Kid
ney Pills still have my hearty endorsement
They have given me relief on several occa-
sions since and l cannot say too much about
them. / willingly verify all l said in their
praise in my former statement"
Mrs Field is only one of many Belfast
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'S
KIDNEY PILLS, the same that Mrs. Field
had-the remedy backed by home testimony.
