A bad back la a heavy burden.
A burden at night when bedtime
comes.
Just as bo-hersome in the morning.
Ever try Doan's Kidney Pills for it?
Know they are for kidney back-
acre—and for other kidney ills?
If you don't some Mangum people
do. Read a case of It:
F. P. Sanders. 613 Floria Avenue,
Mangum, says: "My back was so atitt
SALE OF | that I could hardly bend. Mornings
when I got up, I had to go around in
a stooped position. I cou\£ only
8traig'nten by degrees. I had sharp,
cuttings pains across my kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills, procu~ed at the
Mangum Drug Co., removed the trou-
ble and I am very glad that I began
using them when I did. I have had
no need of Doan's Kidney Pills since
they cured me a few years ago. I am
very glad to again testify to their
merit and confirm my former en -
dcrsement."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan's Kidney Pills, the same that
Mr. Sanders had. Foster-Milburn
