is that they get a firm hold before the
sufferer recognizes them, Health is
gradually undermined. Backache,
headache, nervousness, lameness, sore
ness, lumbago, urinary troubles, drop
sy, diabetes and Bright's disease follow
in merciless succession. Don't neglect
your kidneys. Cure the kidney with
the certain and safe remedy, Doan's
Kidney Pills.

the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Co.,
and resides at 291 Second Street, Port
land, Oregeon.. says: "I had more or less
trouble with my kidneys for a year or
more. My back bothered me with
sore, irritating pain. Doan's Kidney
Pills wrre recommend to me and I got a
box. I commenced to use them as
directed and to my surprise when I had
taken about half the bos the pain left
my back. Every kidney sufferer should
