DANGER SIGNALS. There are two serious signals of kidney ills. The first signal somes from the back with numerous oches and pains. The second signal comes in the ■kidney secretions, the urine is thin and pal'e or too highly colored and showing bricbdust-like deposits. Urination is infrequent, too frequent or excessive. You should heed these danger signals before chronic complications set in—diabetes, dropsy, Bright's disease. Take Doan's Backache Kidney Pills in time and the cure is simple. Mrs. K. Heal, late of Vogeltown, New Plymouth, now living at Frankley Park, says:—"For three years I suffered with the kidneys, and badly needed a medicine to give me relief. The symptoms were .pains in my back, gidifiness, and headaches. The pains in the back were simply agonising, and my headaches were so violent that they used to prostrate me. I was for ever using medicines, but they did me no good. I was doubtful if anything would cure me, when I saw Doan's Backache Kidney Pills advertised, and sent for some. These pills are the best medicine I ever used; they are splendid. A few doses ■would give me such relief that I would often forget to take them, but they cured me in spite of this fact." If you are sick or "feel badly" begin taking Doan's Backache Kidney Pills at once, for as soon as your kidneys are well they will trelp all the other organs to health. A trial will convinr-e anyone. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are sold by all chemists and storekeepers at 3s per bottle (six bottles 16s Grh, or will ' be posted on receipt of price Iv FosterMcClellan C 0.,. 76 Pitt Street, Sydney.
