Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles. A Mexico Citizen
Gives a Valuable Hint.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
is only a muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think It
will soon correct itself. And so It Is
with all the other symptoms of kid
ney disorders, That is where danger
often lies. You should realize that
these troubles often lead to dropsy
or Bright's disease. An effective rem
edy for weak or diseased kidneys is
Doan's Kidney Pills. Read the ex-
perience Of a resident of Mexico who
has tested Doan's.
c. F. Hagar, shoemaker, R. F. D.
No. 6, Mexico, says: 81 was badly
troubled by weak and aching back.
| procured a 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
l get Doan's Kidney Pills and always
use them with success"
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mr.. Hagar had. Foster ilburn Co,
