Kidney disease often advances so
rapidly that many a person is firmly
in its grasp before aware Of its prog
ress. Prompt attention should be
given the slightest symptom of kidney
disorder. If there is a dull pain in
the back, headache, dizzy spells or a
tired, WORKOUT feeling, or if the kid
ney secretions are offensive, irregular
and attended with pain, procure
good kidney remedy at once.
Thousands recommend Doan's Kid
ney Pills. Read the statement below.
Mrs. ]. Deville, 612 E. Second St.,
Crowley, La, says: "My kidneys
were out of order and l had severe
backaches. | could not rest day or
night. The least work tired me and
my back ached as though it would
break. | also suffered from head
aches and dizzy spells and objects
floated before my eyes. My kidneys
were too frequent in action. One box
of DOan's Kidney Pills cured me of the
backache and put my kidneys in good
order. ! have had no return of the
trouble and am glad to recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills to anyone in need
of them"
Price 60 cents, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get
