Back and kidney achocare twin

You cant separate thom.
And you cant got rid of the
backache until you cure tho kid

If the kidneys aro well and
strong, tho rest of tho .system is
pretty sure to bo in vigorous
health.
Donn's Kidney Pills make
strong healthy kidneys.
A. M, Pilgrim, living one mile
west of Darlington, S. C., says:
"Mv kidneys were badly disor
clerod and caused a burning son
sat ion during tho passage of tho
secretions. My back pained ino
and would often bo so lame that
I could not rest at night. J
heard about Donn's Kidney Pills
and they wero so highly, rocom
mended for such complaints that
1 got a box. Tho acted like
magie, proving to be just the
remedy needed for my back and
kidneys. Aftorashorl use, 1 was
freo from backache and also from
the kidney difficulty, 1 never
before used a remedy that acted
so quickly and ellectively as
Donn's Kidney pills and I bolive
