GET AT THE CAUSE!
Many Douglas Folks Are Showing
How to Avoid Needless
Suffering.
There’s ftothing more annoying than
kidney weakness or inability to prop
erly control' the kidney secretions.
Night and day alike, the sufferer is
tormented and what with the. burning
and scalding, the attendant backache,
headache and dizziness, life is indeed
a burden. Doan’s Pills—a stimulant
/diuretic to the kidneys—have brought
peace and comfort to many Douglas
people. Profit by thiw Douglas resi
dent’s experience:
J. E. fawn, R. R. engineer, 22C
Jefferson St., says: “The jarring and
jolting weakened my kidneys and
caused lame back. When I went to
get in or out of the cab, a sharp pain
struck me in my back and I could
hardly move. The kidney secretions
passed too often and I couldn’t sleep
nights as I had to get up. Doan’s
Pills, purchased at the Union Phar
macy, cured me.”
Pripe 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pills the same that Mr-
Yawn had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrm-,
