Hidden Dangers
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That
No Barton Citizen Can Afford
to Ignore.

DANGER SIGNAL NO. 1 comes
from the kidney secretions. They will
warn you when the kidneys are weak.
Well kidneys eXcrete a clear amber
fluid. Disordered kidneys send out a
thin, pale and foamy, or thick, red,
ill-smelling urine, full Of sediment
and irregular of passage.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 2 comes
from the back. Back pains, dull and
heavy or sharp and acute, suggest
weak kidneys and in that case warn
you of the danger of dropsy, gravel
and Bright's disease. Doan's Kidney
Pills are endorsed by thousands.
Here's Barton proof:
w. F. Mitchell, farmer, Elm street,
says: "About five years ago
my kidneys became disordered and I
had some trouble with my back. The
kidney secretions were irregular in
passage and too frequent, both day
and night. The secretions were high
ly colored, also. I read of Doan's
Kidney Pills and tried them. Two
boxes of this medicine helped me
greatly. l know Doan's Kidney Pills
are reliable and entitled to great
praise"
