IS IT YOUR KIDNEYS? .Many people never suspect their kidney'. If suffering from u lame, weak or aching hack they think that it is only a muscular weakness ; when urinary trouble sets in they think it will soon correct itself. And so it is with all the other symptoms of kidney disorder. That is where the danger often lies. You should realise that these troubles often lead to serious kidney disease. An effective remedy for weak or diseased kidneys is Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills. Read this ex-

Mrs M. AYehher, Addei'ley Street, AYcstpoi't, says: " For about two years my health was far from good, owing to the fact that my kidneys were very much out of order. I suflerod with my kidneys a good deal and oltcn felt very depressed and could not sleep well at night. My hack was very weak and painful and at times it was as much as I could do to get about. Up to the time of taking Doan’s Backache Kidney Rills nothing I tried did me any good. Imt this remedy acted most lienclicially, several bottles making a perfect cure. 1 shall always recommend Doan’s Pills, having proved them to he a splendid kidney medicine. I am sure if they were better known there would he lower people suffering from backache and other kidney ailments.” Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are sold by all chemists and storekeepers.
