WHAT'S THE REASON?
Many Madison People i'm Poor Health
Without knowing the Cause.

There are scores of people who
drag out a miserable existence with
out realizing the cause of their suf-
fering. Day after day they are rack
ed with backache and headache; suf-
fer from nervousness, dizziness,
weakness, languor and depression.
Perhaps the kidneys have fallen be-
hind in their work of filtering the
blood and that may be the root of the
trouble. Look to your kidneys, as
sist them in their work-give them
the help they need. You can use no
more highly recommended remedy
than Doan's Kidney Pills-endrosed
by people all over the country and by
your neighbors in Madison.
John A. Norton, Egan avenue
Madison, says: MY kidneys trou-
bled me a lot. / had severe backacbe
and soreness over my kidneys that
made it hard for me to bend over or
lift anything. My kidneys acted ir-
regularly. I used Doan's Kidney
Pills and they soon fixed my kidneys
up in good shape and stopped the
aches and pains in my back"
