from kidney backache, bladder dis

rheumatic pains, etc. Neglect may
pave the way for some dangerous
kidney trouble. Doan's Kidney Pills
are used in just such cases and rec
commended all owe the civilized world.
Winnemrcca people are well repre-
scented in this grand chorus Of praise.
Here's one of many Winnemucca
cases:
Mrs. Rose Davis, z. Second street,
says: -Four years ago l was in mis-
cradle condition with my kidneys. l
suffered for a whole year. Every
thing I did to get relief failed and l
continued to suffer. My kidneys were
weak and my hands and feet swelled
terribly. When | bent owe to wash
or dust, sharp twinges caught me
right across my back. | was nervous
and depressed and felt all run down.
Doan's Kidney Pills cured me of all
this weakness and my kidneys haven't
bothered me since"
