WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK
BODIES.
Kidney Diseases Cause Half:the
Common Aches and Ills of Them-
aavlllo People.
Aa one weak link weakena
chain, so weak kidneys weaken the
whole body and hasten tbe Anal
breaking-down.
Overwork, strains, efltyla and ether
causes injure tbe kidneys, .and when
their activity la lessened tbe whole
body suffers from the exoees of uric
poison circulated In the tdood.
Aches and pains and languor and
urinary Ills come, and there Is -an
ever-increasing tendency towards
dlabetls, and fatal Bright's disease.
There is no real help for tbe sufferer
except kidney help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
the kidneys and cure every kidney
111. Thomasvllle cures arc the proof.
D. Melvin of Albany, Ga., sayi:
“1 always speak a good word for
Doan’s Kidney Pills. I hare some

varied character, I w111 have a supply handy. |fy back

and kidneys have formerly given
me a lot of trouble. I often get
wet and sometimes when I take cold
It settled In my back. Doan's Kid
ney Pills have knocked this sort of
backache out of me several times.
I used ,to think it was malaria and
took several different kinds of med
Iclae, besides rubbing my back with
liniments, but I have come to find
eut that It was the kidneys. To
taks Doan’s Kidney Pills is just like
oiling a squeaking wagon. They set
the kidneys going and aa long as
they continue to act properly there
is never any backache. Ton can
pnt me down as a friend to Doan'i
Kidney Pills. When I go fishing I
want a rod. When I go hanung
I want a gun. When / have the
backache I want Doan’i Kidney
Pills.”
