Mrs. b. vogelsberger, 20lS
ieorsia Ave, n. w, says: MY
back gave me a great deal Of
trouble about three months ago.
There was a dull. constant ache
through nay kidneys and il made
me feel miserable. Mornings
woke up feeling all tired out ana
never felt as IL ! had sleep
enough. Dizzy spells came over
ne and / would come near fall
ing over. My son advised me TO
try Doan's Kidney Pills and
did. Two boxes from the Peo-
pies Drug Store cured me-.
