TIME TO ACT.
Don’t Wait For the Fatal Stages «*4
Kidney Illness. I’rofit by
Ameririis People’s Experience
Occasional attacks of backache, ir
regular urination, headaches and diz
zy spells are common early symptoms
of kidney disorders. It is an error to
neglect these ills. The attacks may
pass for a time, but return with
greater intensity. If there are symp
toms of dropsy—puffy swellings be
low the eyes, bloating of limbs and
ankles, or any part of the body, doni
delay a minute. Begin taking Doan’s
Kidney Pills and keep up the treat
ment until the kedneys are well, when
your old time health and vigor will
return. Cures In Americus prove the
effectiveness of this great kidney rem
edy.

Americus, Ga„ saps: "My son com
plained a great deal of pains in the
small of his back, and his kidneys
did not seem to act in a normal man
ner. Learning about Doan's Kidney
Pills, I procured a box at Dodson’s
Pharmacy and my son began using
them. In a short time he ceased. »0
complain of his back and improved
in every way. Doan's Kidney Pills
have proven of great benefit to my
son and therefore I gladly recommend
them.”
