KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Wa-Keeney People Know How
to Save It

Wa-Keeney People Know How
to Save 1t.
Many Wa-Keeney people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these organs
need help. Weak kidneys are respon-
sible for a vast amount of suffering
and i'll health-the slightest delay is
dangerous. Use Doan's Kidney Pills
"a remedy that has helped thousands
of kidney sufferers. Here is a Wa
Keeney mans recommendation.
S. C. Hefner, Wa-Keeney, says: 81
recommend .Doan's Kidney Pills be-
cause I know they are good. I have
taken them when bothered by back
ache and they have always helped
me. ..Dpan's Kidney Pills are a good
medicine to use when the kidney sec
retions pass too frequently or for
pain across the kidneys"
Price Coo at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
