COLD AFFECTS
 THE KIDNEYS
Many Alaskan People Have Found
 This to Be True

Are you wretched in bad weather?
 Does every cold settle on your kid neys?
 Does your back ache and become weak?
 Are urinary passages irregular and distressing?
 These symptoms are cause to sus- pect kidney weakness.
 Weakened kidneys need quick help.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are especially prepared for weakened kidneys.
 Grateful people recommend them.
 William C. Russell, retired farmer 966 Valencia St., San Francisco, Cal, says: Many colds and days of long hours and straining work caused my kidneys to give me lot of trouble. Pains seemed to settle in the small of my back and the suffering I endured was terrible Every bit of strength left me and my kidneys acted too of ten, annoying me at night. Doan's Kidney Pills strengthened my kidneys and proved of great benefit"
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mir. Russell had. Foster Milburn Co.,, Props, Buffalo, N. Ya-adv.
