DON'T RISK NEGLECT

Don't neglect constant backache, sharp, darting pains or urinary dis orders. The danger of dropsy or Bright's disease is too serious to ignore. Use Doan's Kidney Pills as have your friends and neighbors. A Norwich case.
 Hiram U Neff, 4e5 E. Main Street, Norwich, says: 1T have used Doan's Kidney Pills of and on for a number of years for attacks of kidney trouble and rheumatic pains. The pains had settled mostly in my back, across my kidneys, and at times I could scarcely get around. I could hardly stoop or straighten on account of the pain when taken that way. My kidneys have acted irregularly and the secre- tions have been unnatural. At such times have bought Doan's Kidney 1 Pills at Sevin & Sons Drug Store an6 they have always removed the pain, and regulated my kidneys"
