HELP FOR OLD FOLKS
Old Age Should Be Happy—Not a
Time of Sickneis and Suffering.
Too many people begin to suffer at
middle age with constant backache,
urinary ills and rheumatic pains and
aches. Weak kidneys are usually the
cause and, if neglected, there is dan
ger of hardened arteries, dropsy, gra
vel or Bright’s disease. Help your
weakened kidneys with a stimulant
diuretic before kidney disease gets a
firm hold! Use Doan’s Pills. Thous
ands of old folks recommend Doan’s.
Here is convincing proof:
E. B. Collins, retired farmer, 2600
Meridian St., Bellingham, Wash., says:
“A dull aching in the small of my
back made me feel miserable. The
secretions passed three or four times
in a single night and they burned like
hot metal. They were also highly
colored at times and again as clear as
spring water. Doan’s Pills relieved me
of the aching in my back and made my
kidneys well.”
Price 60c at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doans Pills—the same that Mr. Col
lins had. FBoster-Milburn Co., Mfrs.,
