I suffered a great deal from dizzy headaches,constant pains through my back and loins and the kidneys were very irregular in action. I was weak and nervous and at times felt run down that I could not do my work. None of the many remedies I tried helped me and when I learned of Doan's Kidney Pills, I procured a supply. I took them as directed and as a result, I am now free from any of the above named annoyances." . For sale by all dealers. Price 50 wi J cents. Foster-Milburn Co..
