Some Barton Kidney Sufferers Get
Little Rest or Comfort.

There is little sleep, little rest, lit
tie peace for many a sufferer from
kidney trouble. Life is one continu-
al round of pain. You can't rest at
night when there's kidney backache.
You suffer twinges and "stabs" Of
pain, annoying urinary disorders,
lameness and nervousness. You
can't be comfortable at work with
darting pains and binding dizzy
spells. Neglect these ailments and
serious troubles may follow. Begin
using Doan's Kidney Pills at the first
sign of disorder Thousands have
testified to their merit.
Proof in Barton testimony:
c. H. Hammond, N. Main St., Bar
ton, says: "From hard work and
heavy lifting, my kidneys became dis
ordered and my back ached and
panied. The kidney secretions were
highly colbred and / had to get up
often at night. l had a dull, aching
pain in my back which was very an
noying. l have used Doan's Kidney
Pills and they have always relieved
me when l have suffered this
way. I do not hesitate to recommend
them"
Price Coo, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
