Troubles. A Gaffney Citizen
Shows How to Cure Thom*
Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is.only a muscular weakness; when
urinary troubles sets In they think
it will soon correct itself. And to It

kidney disorders. That is Just where

troubles or they may lead to diabetes
or Bright’s disease. The best reme
dy to use It Doan’s Kidney Pills. It
cures all ills which are caused by
weak or diseased kidneys. Gaffney
people testify to permanent cures.
Mrs. S. C. Mode, Cotton Mill House,
Gaffney, S- C.. says; “I know Doan’s
Kidney Pills to be a valuable remedy
for any trouble arising from the kid
neys and I willingly recommend
them. Several years ago I suffered
from pains through the small of my
back. I also had headaches and
dizzy spells, was nervous and without
ambition or energy. I believe all this
suffering was caused by the failure
of my kidneys to remove the arlc
poison from my system. When I saw
Doan's Kidney Pills advertised, I ob
tained a box at a drug store and af
ter using them a short time was en
tirely relieved.’’
