CRYING FOR HELP
Lots of 1t in Alaska But Daily Growing

Feb. 2s, Mar. i

The kidneys often cry for help
 Not another organ in the whole body more delicately constructed;
 Not one more important to health.
 The kidneys are the filters of the blood.
 When they fail the blood becomes foul and poisonous.
 There can be no health where there is poisoned blood
 Backache is one of the frequent in. dications of kidney trouble.
 It is often the kidneys cry for help Heed it.
 Read what Doan's Kidney Pills have done for overworked kidneys.
 Proof of merit in the following state ment:
 C. C. White. barber, 1646 Mission St. Salem, Ore, says: q have been aking Doan's Kidney Pills off and on for d number of years and they have never failed to do good work. Stand ing in one position so much was hard on my back and kidneys. At times I could hardly stand up straight. Af ter had taken a box or two of Doan's Kidney Pills, my back felt as strong as ever."
