A BIT OF ADVICE
First Don't Delay. Second Don't
Experiment

If you suffer from backache; head
ache or dizzy spells; if you rest poor
ly and are languid in the morning;
if the kidney secretions are irregular
and unnatural in appearance, do not
delay. In such cases the kidneys
often need help.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
prepared for kidney trouble. They
are recommended by thousands. Can
Ladysmith residents desire more
convincing proof of their effective
ness than the statement of Lady
smith citizen who has used them and
willingly.
E. A. Kirvan, City Clerk, 31S Wor-
den Ave, Ladysmith, says: Il hav-
emit used Doans Kidney Pills as
many people have or to any great
extent, but I have taken them suffi-
GENTLY to know that they are good.
One box of Doan's Kidney Pills re-
moved trouble from my kidneys and
though several years have since
passed, I haven't had any further
signs of the complaint"
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same
that Mr.. Kirvan had. Foster-Milburn
