If this timely warning is ignored, kidney disease silently fastens its deadly grip—for kidney sickness first shows itself in pains and disorders in other parts, and the real cause is too often hidden until fatal Bright's disease or diabetes has set in. Suspect the kidneys if you are rheumatic and nervous or have lame back, painful, too frequent or scanty urination, weak heart, dizzy spells, headaches, bloating or neuralgia. What you want is a special kidney medicine — not an experiment, but one that has stood the test for years. Doan's Kidney Pills relieve weak, congested kidneys — cure backache — regulate the urine. A KIDNEY REMEDY OF 75 YEARS' EXPERIENCE DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS began curing lame backs and sick kidneys 75 years ago. 1 he demand lead a nearby druggist, James Doan, to prepare it for sale, brom him the magic formula passed to the pres ent proprietors. Now, as in those early days, Doan s Kidney Pills are made from only the purest drugs and are absolutely non-poisonous. They are used and praised all over the civilized world. DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS MAKE LASTING CURES J. R. Black, 1005 E. Sixth street, Topeka, Kansas, says: "In the spring of 1899 Doan's Kidney Pills brought me such great relief that I did not hesitate to make the fact known and give this remedy my most earnest endorsement. In my statement I said that for three years I had suffered from kidney complaint. I had a dull grumbling ache across the small of my back that greatly inconvenienced me when reaching and straining in doing my work, An annoying kidney weakness was also in evidence and it was out of the question for me to sleep well. In the morning I was all tired out and it can be seen that I was in bad shape. The use of Doan's Kidney Pills quickly and surely drove away these symptoms of kidney complaint and I have since been in good health. The foregoing statement was given in March 1905, and when Mr. Black was interviewed on Nov. 12, 1908, he said : "I have never had a return attack of kidney complaint and I know that my cure is a permanent one. My faith in Doan's Kidney Pills is stronger than ever. Mrs. James Crooks. First St., N. W., American Fork. Utah, says, "I had kidney complaint for ten years or more. Sometimes a twinge darted through the small of my back and I often became so helpless that I was compelled to go to bed with my clothes on. The attacks often lasted for days at a time and I could not even stoop to put on my shoes. My condition was certainly alarming. The secre tions from my kidneys were irregular in passage and contained a heavy sediment after standing. I well know what the misery kidney complaint causes and I can therefore appreciate the merits of a remedy that cures this disease. Doan's Kidney Pills lived up to the claims made for them in my case and effected a cure. My kidneys were restored to a normal condition and my health greatly improved." (Statement given Aug. 22,1907.) On Aug. 24. 1909, Mrs. Crooks was interviewed by one of our representatives and she said: "It gives me pleasure to reendorse Doan's Kidney Pills. They cured my backache and my health is now good. Other members of my family have taken this remedy with decided benefit." A TDIAI CDrC Test Doan'.
