ARE YOU NERvoUs2
Maybe There is a Cause for il that
You Can Correct.

Many who suffer from backache
and weak kidneys are unnaturally
irritable, fretful and nervous. Not
only does constant backache "get
on the nerves." but bad kidneys fail
to eliminate all the uric acid from
the system, and uric acid irritates
the nerves, keeping one "on edge"
and causing rheumatic, neuralgia
pains. When suffering so, try Doan's
Kidney Pills, the medicine so well
recommended by Mt. Sterling people
