This is the case too with vegetables,

 Look for the cause of backache.
 To be cured you must know the cause.
 If it's weak kidneys
 You must set the kidneys working right.
 The following case shows you how: Chas. Braasch. retired clothes dealer, 532 N. Coronado St. Los Angeles. Calif.. says: When I was living in Chicago several Years ago. my kidneys were giving me considerable trouble. When mans kidneys become disor- dered. he feels out of sorts all over My back certainly was lame and 1t was hard for me to bend over or lift anything heavy. The steady ache across the small of my back nearly took the life out of me. I was ad- vised to try Doan's Kidney Pills and found they were just what needed. Doan's quickly relieved me and was soon free from the trouble.''
