WORN NERVES Nervous troubles, with backache, dizzy spells, queer pains and irregu lar kidneys, give reason to suspect kidney weakness and to try the remedy that has helped your neigh bors. Ask your neighbor! Mrs. Lula Sims, 126 Church st„ Blakely, says: “I used to be troubled wth my kidneys. They were slug gish and inactive, causing excess water in my system. My feet and ankles swelled and I had water sacks beneath my eyes. Backache troubled me and at times, it was so severe I thought my back would break. Sharp pains snapped my strength and I couldn’t do anything at all, for my back gave entirely out. I was often bothered with headaches and many black specks appeared before my eyes, until I could not see. I began taking Doan’s Kidney Pills and it wasn't leng before I was relieved.” 60c at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co.. Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. FOR RENT —The Hudspeth home on Church street, Blakely.
