As one weak link weakens a chain, so
weak kidneys weaken the whole bo^y
aod hasten the final breaking down.
Overwork, strains, colda and other
causes injure tho kidneys, and when
their activity is lessened the whole
body suffers from the cxcess cf uric
polsou circulated in the blood.
Aches and pains and languor and
urniary Ills come, and there is an evtr
Increasltg tendency towards diabets
and fatal Bright's disease. Tnere is no
-eal help for the sufferer except ktd
nev help.
Doan'n K'dney Pil's act directly on
the kidneys and cure ev rv kidney ill.
E. A. Suttnn, of 11 26 Walter St., Sa
lem, Orrgon, says: "t'or ten or twelve
years rheumat'sm and kidney trouble
w?s the scourge of my life and two or
three times 1 was down on my buck on
account of the pain being so severe. I
could hardly move owing to the lame
ness and bad to leave tny farm and come
into the city to doc' or tor the- trouble
but nothing seemed to bring me more
than temporary relief. 1 was in bad
shape just before I went to a drug store
and procured Doan's Kidney Pills. My
limb?|woulp scarcely support me and I
could only get arouud ut times with the
greatest difficulty. Doan's Kidney
Pills benefited me at once and when
I had used used three boxes I was ab

my old trouble and my health was bet
