My work was heavy and this used to ir- ritate the trouble. for I noticed it most after my days work. My back felt weak and tired and sharp pains caught me when I stopped. I heard people praising Doan's Kidney Pills and de- cided to give them a trial. I found them the best medicine I had ever used and I felt better than I had in years

 It is unwise to neglect the slightest symptom of kidney trouble. Give the kidneys the help they are calling for.
