Do You Want Your Kidneys ES-
 perlmented On !?

Kidney troubles are getting more common every day. Government health bureau figures say deaths from this cause are 72 per cent. more than 20 years ago.
 Anybody who suffers constant back. ache, who feels blue, nervous and ir- ritable; who has dizzy spells, headache and urinary disorders should suspect kidney weakness. Overworked kid neys must have a rest. Take things easier; live more carefully. Take a good kidney remedy to build the kid neys up again.
 But be sure to get Doan's Kidney Pills-the oldest, the most widely used, the best recommended of all kidney pills, now in use all over the civilized world. Don't experiment. with your kidneys. Thousands have already tested Doan's. You have their expert. ence to go by. Plenty of cases right here in Canaan. Here's one:
 Mrs. John Mansfield, Reed St., Ca naan, says: My kidneys were dis ordered and I suffered from backache and pains in my head. On getting up in the morning, felt all tired out. Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at R. T. Farnum & Co.'s Drug Store, re. lieved me and l now feel better in every way. All said praising Doan's Kidney Pills when I recommended them in 1908, holds good"
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't sim. ply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pi1ls-the same that Mrs. Mansfield has twice publicly re. commended. Foster. Milburn O.. Props, Buffalo, N. Y.
