STOP THAT BACKACHE!
Many Blakely Folks Have Found
the Way.
Is a dull, nerve-racking backache
wearing you out? Do you feel
older and slower than you should?
■Are-yetr-tired, - wt-rtk— uh4 —aepveus
find it impossible to be hzippy, or
enjoy the good times around you?
Then there’s something wrong and
likely it’s your kidneys. Why not
get at the cause? Use Doan’s Pills
-—a stimulant diuretic to the kid
neys. Your neighbors recommend
Doan’s. Read what this Blakely
resident says:
J. E. Womack, retired lumber
man, Westward avenue, says: ‘My
back was lame and and there was
a soreness through my kidneys.
Sharp pains in my back were
mighty severe and sometimes I
could hardly turn in bed. My
rest was broken several times on
account of my kidneys acting too
freely and I got up mornings feel
ingly tired. I used Doan’s Pills
and they cured me of the attack.”
