No kidney ailment is unimport- ant. Don't overlook the slight est backache or urinary trregularity Nature may be warning you of approaching dropsy, gravel or Bright's disease. Kidney disease Is seldom fatal if treated in time, but neglect may pave the way. Don't neglect a lame or aching back an- other day. Don't ignore dizzy spells, irregular or discolored ur- inc, headaches, weariness or de. pression. If you feel you need kid hey help begin using the reliable, time-tried remedy, Doan's Kid- nev Pills. For 50 years, Doan's have been found effective. En- dorsed by grateful people.
 Mrs. s. O. Turner, 6Osk Tenth St.. Sacramento, Cal, says: "I un- derwent 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 limba were so stiff I couldn't move. My kidneys acted too often. Doan's Kidney Pills have promptly reliev. ed me of every attack of kidney suffering"
