THAT MORNING, LAMENESS

If you are lame every morning, and suffer urinary ills, there must be a cause. Often it's weak kidneys. To strengthen the weakened kidneys and avert more serious troubles, use Deans Kidney Pills. You can rely on this testimony.
 Mrs. c, M. Clifford, Wallace St.. De- Queen, Ark, says: About two years ago, l had a dull, steady ache in the small of my back. I felt stiff and lame when l got up in the morning and sometimes sharp pain caught me in my back when l stopped or lifted I suffered from dizzy spells and head aches and felt languid and worn-out. There were puffy sacs under my eyes and sometimes my ankles swelled. I used kidney remedy, but found little benefit until I took Doan's Kidney Pills. They helped me quickly and I go4 three more boxes. My kidney is now much sronger and I feel better in every way Doan's Kidney Pills certainly did good work for me-" COG at all dealers. Foster Milburn
