WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Uuoouninj; Work Keapi Ua
Strong and Healthy
All the blood iu the body passes
through the kidneys once ev?ry three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work day and night. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains of
impure matter dally, when unhealthy
some of this impure matter is left in
the blood. This brings on muny din as
es and symptoms? pain in the back,
beadacle, nervousness, rheumatism,
pout, gravel, disorders of the signt and
hearing, dizziness, irregular heart, de
bility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in
the urine, etc. But if you keep the fil
ters right you will "have no trouble
with your kidneys.
Henry White, of Dundee Addition,
Port TowDsend, Wash., says: "Doan's
Kidney Pills did me a groat deal of
good three years ago, when I was suff
ering from pains and aching in the
ack aud sides. It felt just as if I bad
been beaten or bruised. Sharp twinges
of pain would shoot through the kid
neys, and tne secretions were unnaiu.al
and caused a good deal of embarrass
ment. My son procured Doan's Kidi^ev
Pills for mo and I took theui accord. ng
to directions. They promptly relieved
the soreness and pain, corrected the
kidney secrctlons, and helped me in
every way."
