' The Back
Many people have a weak spot
Too often its a bad back
Twinges follow every twist
Dull aching keeps up day and
night Backache is often from
weak kidneys In such cases a
kidney medicine is needed
Doan's Kidney Fills are for the
weak kidneys For backache
and urinary iiis Good proof qf
merit in the following state-
ment J R Thompson 319 Cherry st
Hauls Valley Okla says: Doan's
Kidney Hills nave benellttcd me
and 1 am pleased to rcccoimncnd
them to anyone who is suffering
from kidney disease My kid-
neys were out ot order and I had
backache ' Doan’s Kidney Hiils
helped me at once Soon the
pain stopped and my kidneys be-
came normal"
Tho above is not an Isolated
case Mr Thompson is only one
of many in this vicinity who
have gratefully endorsed Doan's
If your hack aches - if your kid-
neys bother you don’t simply
ask for a kidney remedy ask
distinctly for Doau’s Kidney Fid
