Many Pangs That Pass for Rheumatism

Is it rheumatism? }.
, Not every pain is. e.,
Weak kidneys let uric acid collect.
Uric acid causes many queer pains.
In the thigh it's sciatica;
In the back, lumbago;
In the nerves, neuritis.
Gout, gravel, dropsy are uric troubles

Warren testimony is the best proof.
Read this Warren woman's story:
Mrs. NJ. Peterson, Second St., N,
says: II had quite a severe attack of
kidney trouble and it laid me up in bed
for over month. I couldn't do thing
and had to hire help to do my house
work. My back was so painful Il
cQuldn,tseven turn myself in bed and i
had to have help to get out of bed in
the morning. The rheumatic pains in
my arms and shoulders were very
severe. Ny kidneys acted much too
freely. A friend told me to get Doan's
Kidney Pills and / phoned to the War
rem Pharmacy for two boxes. After
using DOan's while. I got relief. I
have recommended them to others many
times"
