NATURE TELLS YOU. * As Many an Edgefield Reader Knows too Well. When the kidneys are sick, Nature tells you all about it. The urine is nature's calendar. Infrequent or too frequent action; Any urinary trouble tells of kidney ills. Doan's kidney pills cure all kidney ills. Lewis Hall, living on Main St., Lex ington, S. C., says: "I suffered from kidney trouble for several years. There were severe pains in my back, and my I kidneys were very irregular in action. At times the secretions were very copious while at others so scan':y that I could scarcely void them at* all. I grew weak, lost flesh could not. sleep well and was nervous and frequently irritated. I finally procured Doan's kidney pills, began using them and can honestly say that I never found a reme dy that gave me so much relief. I am not as yet cured, but am improving rapidly, and I have no hesitancy in recommending Doan's kidney pills to other sufferers. For sale by all dealers. Price 59cts.
