complaint came on me. nnd It laid mp up
completely. The pain ai:roes the small of
my back was very severe and the secre
tions from my kidneys passed so fre

times every night. My feet nnd ankles
were swollen and painful. Doan's Kidney
Pills removed my trouble. It gives me
much pleasure to recommend them to
other kWney sufferers."

Mrs. M. A. Burks, 1S34 a ark St., Oma
. ha. Neb., says: "I first used Doan's Kid
ney PllLi three years asro and the results
obtained warrant my saying they are a
first-class kidney remedy for kidney com
plaint. I was having a gTeut deal of
trouble with my back at the time. There
was a constant ache and soreness across
nvy loins. I thought it was lumbago. I
could manage to get around and move
things It necessary, but could not stoop
over or lift. X Was weak ami felt poorly
In every way. Though. I tried different
medicine, no relief came until, I used
Doan's Kidney litis. They fitted my case
exactly, relieving the dreadful ache and
soreness, strengthening my kidneys and
giving me energy. I have used Doan's
Kidney Pills" since and they have always
helped me, I have told many people ot
th value of this remedy."

aches, felt tired and languid nnd had no
ambition. A constant pain over my kid
neys wor me out so that at times I
was obliged to lie down What brought
it nil on, I cannot say, but I do know
It kept me feeling miserable the greater
pnrt of the time for three years. I tried
different medicines, but It seemed that
nothing would help me and I was about
discouraged when Doan's Kidney Pills
were brought to my attention. I was
prompted to try them and did not have
to wait long to notice improvement. They
relieved me from the beginning and by
the time I had taken one box, I felt like
a different person."

ney complaint seemed to come on me
all of a sudden. 1 think It was caused
by a heavy cold. I had terrible pain In
my back, and every time I stooped It
was hard for me to straighten. The
passages of the kidney secretions were
retarded and painful. A member of my
family had used Doan's Kidney Pills
with such great benefit, that I decide!
to try them. The results were beyond
expectations. I can recommend this rem
edy to anyone who suffers as I did,"

bothered by kidney trouble. I tried sev
eral remedies, but It was not until I be
gan using Doan's Kidney Pills that I
found positive results. Owing to my kid
neys being weak, tho passages of the.
kidney secretions wore too frequent,
obliging me to get up several times at
night. Accompanying this was a burn
ing sensation. My case was not a chronlo
one, but the symptoms had. existed long
enough to cause me much annoyance.
My back also ached and distressed me
and I was glad to find Doan's Kidney
Pills. They soon relieved me and after
taking five boxes I felt well and was free
from all the symptoms. I have had no
occasion to use a kidney remedy since."

There was a dull, steady ache across my
loins and I was also annoyed by dlzsy
spelts. Often my sight become blurred.
I was told that It was due to kidney dis
orders and learning' about Doan's Kidney
Pills, I used several boxes, I was freed
of the annoyance. The relief I obtained
