heavy enough task when the kidneys
are we'll, but cold, chill, fever or
some thoughtless exposure is likely to
irritate, infiame and congest the kid

Then the aching frequently begins,
and is often accompanied by some ir-
regularity of the urine-too frequent
passages, sediment or retention.
Thousands testify to the wonderful
merit Of Doan's Kidney Pills, rem
edy for the kidneys only, that has been
used in kidney troubles so years. You
will make no mistake in following
this advice. It comes from resident
of this locality:
