ORTHY of a high-

words to exprecs."
Thla la what Mr.
J. H. Plangman (of
Sherman, T e x.)
Buys of Doan'a
Kidney Pills. He
tells hia experience In the following
worda: He says, "Sometime In Septem-
ber I waa taken with a dull aching pain
across the small of my back, directly
sver the kidneys. I paid small attention
to this at flrat, thinking it would pass
off. But Instead of getting better It
became worse and in a short time the
pain centered through my left hip and

ways show Itself

pears Just in this
way, when some
unusual movement
or action bring*
sharp pains and
exhaustive aches,
telling of sick kid-
neys.
^ So Mr. Flang-
man's experience bore this out.
Continuing, he says: "I did not
know the cause of the trouble, but
I am led to believe now that it was
first brought about by Jumping in and
out of the wagon and in some way I
may have strained my back.
"I was constantly growing worse," he
continues, "and I became very much
alarmed about my condition. I knew
that something had to be done or serious
results were sure to follow. I went to
a specialist here In Sherman, and under-
went a rigid examination."
Then he relates bow the doctor told
him that it was a sfcrlous case, but that
be could cure him for fifty dollars
However, necessity knows no law and
Mr. Plangman paid half down and took
the treatment and followed It faithful-
ly for four weeks.
Naturally, he thought that he would
soon be rid of the trouble, but in spite
of tho doctoring he goes on to add, "I
was in such misery that It was almost
impossible for me to do my work."
"it was at this juncture that Doan'a
Kidney Pills came
to my notice and I
procured some from
the drug store of C.
E. Craycroft. I
used these ptlla
according to direc-
tions and to my
surprise I was con-
siderably relieved
on the second day
and in a short time
completely cured,"

This Is the uni-
versal experience of
those who have re UfcdL
been sufferers from
Kidney trouble and who have been for-
tunate enough to test tba merits of
Doan's Kidney Fills.
There is nothing wonderful or mag-
ical about this remedy, it s'mply does
the work by direct action on the kid-
neys. Doan's Kidney Pills are for the
kidneys only and this accounts for
their speedy and
certain action.
Early indications
of kidney trouble
come from two
sources, the back
and the bladder.
The back becomes
weak and lame be-
cause the kidneys
are sick, and re-
He* from backache
can only be com-
plete when the
kidneys are set
right.
Irritation of the
bladder shows that
the kidneys are out
of order. Delay In
prompt attention
often causes seri-
ous complication.
Relieve and cur*
sick kidneys and
ward off dangerous
diabetes, dreaded
dropsy and Bright'*
disease, by using
Doan'a Kidney
Fills.
They begin by
healing the delicate
membranes and re-
ducing any Inflam-
