Backache Is
Discouraging
nu! .Noi So liml If Tou Know How
to licacb Uio Cause
Kothing more discouraging than a
constant backache. Lame when you
awaken, pains pierce you whan, you
bend or lift. It's hard to work or
to rest. Backache often Indicates
bad kidneys and calls for prompt
treatment. The best recommended
remedy is Doan'a Kidney Pills. Prof
it by this user's experience:
L. i>. Gorham, policeman, 1005 E.
Fourth St., Olympla, Wash., says:
"Several yeare ago I publicly re
commended Doan'a Kidney Pills and
at this tlmo I am glad to confirm
what I then said. I used them when
I had trouble with my back and
kidneys and they gave mo Tellef. I
have used them Beverai times
since and they have helped me as
greatly as "when I first took them.''
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't,
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Dean's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Gorham had. Foster-Jill
