I suffered from sharp pains across my loins and was greatly annoved by too frequent pas- sages of the kidney secretions.

Im- provement was soon noticeable and I continued using this remedy until the trouble disappeared. Others of my family have taken Doan's Kidney Pills for kidney complaint and have been sured. I confirm all I have ever said in praise of Doan's Kidney Pills.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Sweet had.
