Why Dread Old Age?

Tt doesn't matter how old you are,
if you keep well and active. Lots of
folks are younger at 70 than others
are at SO. Lame, bent backs; stiff,
achy, rheumatic joints, bad eyesight
and deafness are too often due to
neglected kidney trouble and not to
advancing years. Don't let weak kid
neys age you. Use DOan's Kidney
Pills. They have made life more COM
Portable for thousands of elderly folks.
Ask your neighbor.
