ALL WRONG.
The Mistake Is Made by Many Ju.
 neau Citizens

Look for the cause of backache.
 To be cured you must know the cause
 If it's weak kidneys
 You must set the kidneys work ing right.
 The following case shows you how.
 Chas. Braasch, retired clothes dealer, 532 N. Coronado St., Los Angeles, Calif., says: When I was living in Chicago, several years ago, my kidneys were giving me considerable trouble. When a mans kidneys become disordered, he feels out of sorts all over. My back cer- tainly was lame, and it was hard for me to bend over or lift anything heavy. The steady ache across the small of my back nearly took the life out of me. I was advised to try Doan's Kidney Pills and I found they were just what I needed Doans quickly relieved me and was soon free from the trouble"
 Price COG, at all dealers Don't simply ask for kidney remedy-get Deans Kidney Pills-the same that Mir. Braasch had. Foster-Milburn Co.,, Mfrs, Buffalo, N. Y.
