Are just what overworked kidneys

They strengthen and invigorate the

never fail to cure any case of kidney

Read the proof from a Jacksonville
citizen.
A. D. Houston. Merchant, formerly
living in the North, part of Jackson
ville, Ore., says: “About a year ago I
suffered severely from backache and
kidney disease. The action of the kid

was otherwise run down. I procured
Doan’s Kidney Pills at the City Drug
Store and since using this remedy I
have not had the slightest symptom of
kidney trouble and have felt better in
every way. I am glad to endorse a
remedy of such great merit as Doan’s
Kidney Pills. ’’
