out night and day? Does your back
ache as il it would break? Do you
suffer dizziness, headaches, rheu-
matte twinges or distressing urinary
disorders? You have good cause,
then. to be alarmed about your kid
neys. Do as many of your town
folk recommend Use Doan's Pills

This McConnelsville case is convinc-
ing:
Mrs. James Hardin, Fourth street,
says: my back ached and dull,
heavy, bearing down pain across it
wore me out. Bending over was
hard on me because the pains held
my back as in wise. / often be-
came dizzy and speclSs danced be-
fore my eyes, blnrring my sight. Ny
kidneys were weak and acted ir-
regularly. Two boxes of Doan's
pills, from Sears drug store, rid me
of the backache and put my kidneys
in normal condition"
Mrs. Hardin is only oneEof many
MeConnelsville people whe have
gratefully endorsed Deans Pills. If
your back aches-if your kidneys
bother you, don't simply ask for a
kidney remedy-a ask distinctly for
