WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK
BODIES
Kidney Diseases Cause Many Aches
and Ills Of Maysville People.

AS one weak link weakness a chain
so may weak kidneys weaken the
wholebody and hasten the final break
ing-down.
Overwork strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys, and gen.
orally when their activity is lessened
the whole body suffers.
Aches and pains and Ianguur and
urinary ills frequently come, and
there is an ever-increasing gravel or
fatal Bright's disease. When the kid
neys fail there is no real help for the
sufferer except kidney help.
Doans Kidney Pills act directly on
the kidneys. Maysville testimony is
proof of their effectiveness.
Mrs. Harry Mann, 495 w. Second
St., says: About two years ago, l
suffered from an attack of kidney
trouble that had lasted for a long
time. had a dull, constant ache in
the small Of my back and the pains
were often sharp. l was also dizzy
and felt tired and langrid. Two boxes
of Doan's Kidney Pills cured me and
l haven't been bothered by kidney
trouble since. 1 gladly advise anyone
to get a box OF Doan's Kidney Pills
at the Chenoweth Drug Co., II trou-
bled by their Kidneys"
Mrs. Mann Ia only one of many
Maysville people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your
back aches-if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for kidney
remedy-ask distinctly for DOANS
KIDNEY PILLS, the same that Mrs
Mann had-the remedy backed by
homo testimony. so cents at all
