Everybody is likely to have kidney- and
bladder trouble. In fact, nearly everybody
lias some trouble of tills kind. That is the
reason why you so often have pains in tU
back and groin, scalding sensation, mi-
nary disorders, etc-thut’a your kidneys.
The best tiling to do is to get some of De-
Witt’s Kidney aud Bladder Pills right
away. Take thorn for a few days, or a
week or so and you will feel all right. Iu
this way, too, you will ward off dangerous
and possibly serious ailments. They are
perfectly harmless, and are not only ami-
septic but allay pain qutcklv hy tbeir
healing properties. Send your name to
