WHEN HER BACK ACHES
A Woman Finds All Her Energy and
 Ambition Slipping Away.

Some women know how the aches and pains that often come when the kidneys fail make life burden. Back ache. hip pains. headaches. dizzy spells, distressing urinary troubles. are frequently indications of weak kidneys and should be checked In time. Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kidneys only. They attack kidney diseases by striking at the cause.
 Can Alaska sufferers desire strong CT proof than this woman's word?
 Mrs. S. o. Turner, 60Sh Tenth st.. Sacramento. Cal, says: q underwent three operations and this severe strain, together with colds, affected my kidneys. I had pain through my back and could hardly stoop over for if I tried to. pains caught me. My back and limbs were so stiff couldn't move. My kidneys acted too often. Doan's Kidney Pills have always promptly relieved me of every attack of kidney suffering"
