The distress begins in early morning — keeps up throughout the day. It's hard to get out of bed, it's torture to stoop or straighten. .Plast- ers and liniments may relieve, but can- not cure if the cause is inside—the kidneys. When suffering so, use Doan's Kidney Pills, the tested and proven kidney remefly, used in kidney troubles for over 50 years. Doan’s Kidney Pills are recommended by thousands for just such cases. Proof of their effectivenss in the testimony of this Norwich resident: Mrs. Jared Hewitt, Palmer Street, Norwich, Conn., says: “For several months I was bothered by pains across the small of my back and from other symptoms. I knew that my kidneys were at fault. I got a box of Doan's 'KIdney Pills at N. D. Sevin & Son’s Drug Store, and soon after using them the pain In my back disappeared and my health improved. I dor’t hesitate to recommend this excellent remedy.” -For sale by all dealers. Price 50 eents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.
