Back and kidney ache?aro twin

You cant separate them.
And you cant get rid of the
backache until you cure the kid
ney ache.
If the kidneys are well and
strong, tho rest of the system is
pretty sure to be in vigorous
health.
Doan's Kidney Pills make
strong healthy kidneys.
A. M. Pilgrim, living one mile
west of Darlington, S. C-, says:
"Mv kidneys were badly disor
di'red and caused a burning sen
sat ion during the passage of flu;
secretions. My back pained me
and would often be so lanie that
I could not rest at night. I
heard about Doan's Kidney Pills
and thoy were so highly, recom
mended for such complaints that'
1 got a box. Tho acted like
magic, proving to be just the
remedy needed for my back and
kidneys. Altera short uso, 1 was
freo from backache and also from
the kidney difficulty. I never
beforo used a remedy that acted
so quickly and elloctively as
Doan's Kidney rills and 1 belive
that 1 am justified in recommend
ing thom to others."
