OH MY BACK!
The Expression of Many a Kid
ney Sufferer
A stubborn backache iscause
to suspect kidney trouble.When
.the kidneys are inflamed and
swollen, stooping brings a
!sharp twinge in the small of
the back that almost takes the
breath away. Doan’s Kidney
Pills revive sluggish kidneys—
relieve aching backs. Here’s
convincing proof of merit.
Mrs. G. W. Crymes, Bates
ville, Ark., says: “I was troub
led by weak kidneys and 1 suf
fered a lot from a steady, dull
ache in my back. My ankles
and feet were badly swollen
and 1 had rheumatic pains in
my left arm. My kidneys acted
irregularly, too. I used about a
box of Doan’s Kidney Pills and
since then 1 have been free
from kidney trouble.”
Price 50c at all dealers.Don’t
simply ask for a kidney rem
edy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills
—the same that Mrs. Crymes
had. Poster-Milburn Co..Props.,
