When the kidneys are weak or dis ordering, they fall behind in filterins the blood of poisons. As these pois- Chs attack the nerves, the result is felt in spells of vertigo, just as drunk enness will make man dizzy from the poisoning of alcohol. Dizziness, headache, backache and iregularity Of the kidney secretions are all signs Gf wIsak and disorderer kidneys and should not be neglected. Use Doan's Kidney Pills, the home-endorsed kidney remedy. Read this Pine Bluff residents staten ent:
 Mrs. M. V. Greene, 1219 Main St.. Pine Bluff. says: "When moved around. had dull, steady ache over my kidneys. Dizzy spells were con- mon and specks floated before my eyes. The kidney secretions were unnatural. I used different medi- c;nes, but didn't get much relief un- til took Doan's Kidney Pills. They helped me quickly. Whenever I have any trouble from my kidneys, new, a few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills re- lieve me."
