DO IT NOW
Jackson People Should Not Wait
Until It Is Too Late
The appalling death rate from kid
ney disease is due largely to the fact
that the little kidney troubles are
usually neglected until they become
serious. The slight symptoms often
give place to chronic disorders and
the sufferer may slip gradually into
some serious form of kidney com
plaint.
If you suffer from backache, head
aches, dizzy spells; if the kidney se
cretions are irregular of passage and
unnatural in appearance, do not de
lay. Help the kidneys at once.
Doan’s Kidney Pills are especially
for Kidney disorders —they act
where others fail. Over one hundred
thousand people have recommended
them. Here’s a case at home:
Davis Kinard, of the Davis Kinard
& Cos., Lyons st., Jackson, says: I
don’t hesitate to recommend Doan s
Kidney Pills as a good kidney medi
cine. My kidneys were out of order
and I used Doan’s Kidney Pills.
They relieved all signs of the trou
ble.”
Price 60c at all dealers. Don’t sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same that
Mr. Kinard'had. Foster Milbum Cos.,
