"Well," continued Mr. Wlnterbottom,

Work In AUikn
Most Alaska people work every day
in some strained, unnatural position
bending constantly over a desk? riding
on jolting wagons or cars? doing labor
ious housework; lifting, reaching or
pulling, or trying the back in a hundred
and one different ways. All these
strains tend to wear, weaken and injure
the kidnevs until they fall behln<) in
t eir work of filtering the poisons frotr
the blood. Doan's Kidney Pills cure
sick kidneys, put new strength jn^bid
backs ?
W . H. Wool of 250 cottage St., Sa
lem. Ore., says: ''A good many yenrs
ay.o I got badlv kicked by a mulo right
over the kidneys and at another time
while digging a well it caved in on me
also injuring my back. Since then I
have had more or less annoyance from
my Kidneys. Change of weather caused
my back to ache and when I worked
hard ll became so lame that I could
hardly straighten up after stooping, I
procured Doan's Kianey Pills at a drug
store and since taking them, although
I have continued to work hard and be
exposed to severe weatho,, not an ache
or other symptoms of my former
trouble remains. This clearly proves
that Doan's Kidney Pills act up to
representations made of them. I also ]
know of other people who h ?ve derived
v;rea- benefit from their use. I am glad
co let others know the merits of Doan's
Kidney Pills for backaohe and kidney
trouble.
