Pierce Knowing the vast amount of harm wrought by diseases of the kidneys, and having had opportunity to observe the analyses and the successful methods of treatment in thousands of cases of kid ney trouble at the Invalids’ Hotel, I have recently given to the public the latest and perhaps most important of the Dr. Pierce home remedies, “An j uric" (anti-uric-acid) Tablets, which 1 now recommend to those who suffer . with kidney backache, irregularity of ■ urination and the pains and disturbances that come from excess of uric acid in the blood. "An-uric” can be had now at all the drug stores. The mere drinking of a cup of hot water each morning and a little "An-uric” before even' meal should bring remarkably quick improve ment. Yc a may have ki -’nev trouble and not know it. The danger signals to be watched for and quickly heeded are backache, depression, aches, pains, heaviness, drowsiness, dizziness, irrita bility, headaches, chilliness, rheumatic ■ twinges, swollen joints, gout. 1 » ALL WORN OUT SO WAS MRS. HEGWOOD WHO TELLS HER EXPERIENCE Are you tired all the time; worn out night and day? Does your back ache as if it would break ? Do you suffer dizziness, headaches, rheumatic twinges or distressing urinary disor ders? You have good cause, then, to be alarmed about your kidneys. Do as many of your townfolk recommend. Use Doan’s Pills—a stimulant diure tic to the kidneys. This LaFayette case is convincing: Mrs. W. F. Hegwood, Daugherty St., says: “My kidneys were disorder ed and acted too freely. My back both ered me a great deal, especially dur ing the day when I worked hard. The bearing-down pains ■were very trouble some. Headaches were also .constant and were accompanied with. dizzy spells. I used Doan’s Pills and they put me in fine shape. I have had no need of a kidney remedy since Doan’s cured me.” Mrs. Hegwood is only one of many LaFayette People who have grate fully endorsed Doan’s Pills. If your back aches—if your kidneys bother you, don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—ask distinctly for Doan’s Pills the same that Mrs Hegwood had —the remedy backed by home testir mony. 60 cents at all dealers—Foster Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N.
