At times I felt as though I was paralyzed from my hips down. My feet swelled so I had to take of my shoes and it was next to impossible to get up or down stairs. I got SO I couldn't do a bit of house work, not even washing the dishes. When stood a short time I was so weak and dizzy I had to sit down. Specks fioated before my eyes and the pains in the back of my head and neck were unhearable. l used different medicines, but got no relief until l finally used Doan's Kidney Pills. All the swellings and pains left and my kidneys became normal. Two years have passed and I haven't had sign of kidney trouble since"
