A only to find yourself a victim of backache? Are you suffering head- aches, too, dizzy spells, a dull, tired, worn-out feeling and other annoying symptoms? Then don’t delay!

The kidneys are overwhelmed with the rush of new work; they break down, become congested, inflamed and diseased. Too often the real trouble is lost sight of until some dangerous kidney ailment sets in. If your kidneys are falling behind, don’t wait for serious trouble. Begin using Doan’s Kidney Pills to- day.
