Why suffer from a bad back, from

dizziness and distressing urinary
ills? Grants Pass people recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills. Could you ask
for stronger proof OF merit?
Mrs. A. NJ. Evensen. 625 8. Fourth
ST.. says: II was nearly laid up
with rheumatic troubles. which af-
fected my hips and one OF my limbs.
At times the pain was almost un-
bearable. Often the muscles and
cords In my limbs seemed to con-
tract. causing intense pain. During
this trouble. my kidneys were more
or less affected, which prompted me
to take Doan's Kidney Pills. The
first box regulated my kidneys and
took about three boxes in all when
the rheumatic pains in my hips and
limb left me entirely. Now when
my kidneys bother me. use Doan's
