Tin a Bad way
Many a Washington Reader Will
Feel Grateful for This
Information.

If your back gives out;
Becomes lame, weak or ach-
ing;
If urinary troubles set in,
Perhaps your kidneys are "in
bad way"
Doan's Kidney Pills are for
weak kidneys.
Local evidence proves their
merit.
Mrs. G. Boyd, 338 11th st. s. E.,
Washington, says: "My back gave me
considerable trouble last summer. 1t
ached constantly and when l swept
under the bed and then tried to raise
up / could hardly straighten because
the pains were so severe in the small
of my back. was very nervous and
couldn't sit still any length of time.
One of the family had used Doan's
Kidney Pills successfully, so took
some. Two boxes brought good re-
suits"

simply ask for kidney remedy
