DOWNWARD COURSE
A little backache at first.
Daily increasing till the back Is
lame and weak.
Urinary disorders i|iiiekly follow.
Diabetes and finally Bright's dis
ease.
This is the downward course of
kidney Ills.
Don’t take this course. Follow the
advice of a Cottage Grove citizen.
Mrs. Alice Coffman, living on the
west side, Cottage Grove, Ore., says;
" I was in a miserable condition
caused by backache and I suffered for
a long time, unable to shake off the
disease. I was constantly weary and
worn cut. My general health became
undermined and I could not got re
lief. I became discouraged nnd none
of the remedies I used gave me any
relief. I happened to learn of Doan’s
Kidney pills nbout this time and de
cided to try them although I did not
hope for much relief. I procured a
box at Benson's Pharmacy and took
them carefully. Before I had finished
all of the first box I could see that
they were helping me. I continued
with this remedy and by the time I
Imd finished the third box the dis
ease had completely left me. 1 am
today without a sign of kidney dis
ease ami am very grateful to Doan’s
Kidney pills.”
