WHEN WILL AUSH PEOPLE LEARN THE
IMPORTANCE OF IT?
Backache is only a slmp'e thing al
bi si;
But when you know 'tis from the kid

That serious kidney troubles (ollow;
iThat diabetes or Bright1* disease may
be the fatal end,
You will gladly profit by the fuliow

William Bungardner, retired, of 424
Water St., Sa'em, Oregon., siys: "I
sprak from personal experience when 1
say that Down's Kidney Pills do all that
is claimed for them in curing kidney
complaint and backache. I have felt the
need of such a remedy for a good long
while but did not know just what I
sbou'd use. I have found that many
medicines are worthless and that ev . 11
physicians' prescriptions do not always
p-ove effective. When I read of Ooan's
Kidney Pills, howeTer, I was induced to
procure a supply. The backache and
irregular condition of the kidneys
which had annoyed me, quickly gave
way on begioing to use your remedy
and I was restored to a condition of
esse and comfort. I can recommend
Doan'd Kidney Pills to anyone in need
of such a medicine."
