When past middle age, there fire.

quite necessary to give prompt help
to any part that first shows signs Of
wear. Healthy kidneys are necessary
to a hale old age. Weak kidneys Of

back, stitches and twinges of pain, an
noying urinary troubles, and the dam
ger of dropsy and kBright's disease.

recommended by very many aged peo-
pie. Read what a Langdon resident
has to says:
J Mrs. G. Skinner, North Fourth St.

Kidney Pills and / will always re-
member the help they gave me. I
had suffered with attacks of backache
and my kidneys annoyed me by acting
irregularly. After that had gone on
for awhile l began having rheuma-
tic pains like sciatica. The best re.
