John W. Boozer, RFD No. 2, Prosperity,

for three yearc with, kidney trouble!
I had pains in my back and
twinges when stooping or lifting. My
: back ached at night and was lame in
the morning. I tired easily, was languid
and often felt nervous. I had
headaches and dizzy spells and my
sight blurred. The kidney secrctions
contained sediment and were too frequent
in passage, obliging me to get
up during the night. Finally, I began
using Doan's Kidney Pills and
I they made me much better in every
