A WOMAN’S BACK
The Advice Of This Newport
Woman Is Of Certain Value*
Many a woman’s back has
many aches and pains.
Ofttimes ’tis the kidney’s
fault.
That’s why Doan’s Kidney
Pills are so effective.
Many Newport women know
this.
Read what one has to say
about it:
Mrs. A. Bell, 502 Newport
Avenue, Newport, says: “I was
suffering from sharp, shooting
pains through my back. The
pains came on when I wa3 sit
ting down and I couldn’t move
_ _3 _ rae T 1 J
until me) jjaoocu uu« a uou
rheumatic twinges in my limbs,
especially during bad weather.
Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured
at Walker’s Pharmacy, removed
every symptom of kidney trou
ble.”
Price 50c at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy
—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the
same that Mrs. Bell had. Foster
