ITS YOUR KIDNEYS
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles. A Cottage Grove Citi
zen Shows How to Cure Them.
Many people never suspect tlieir
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak, or aching back they think that
it Is only a muscular weaknt^s; when
urinary trouble sots in tin-!# think it
will soon correct itself. A nd so it is
with all the other symptoms o f kid
ney disorders. That Is just where
the danger lies. Von must cure these
troubles or they may lead to diabetes
or Itrigbi’s disease. The liest remedy
to use is D oan’s Kidney Pills. It
euren all ills which are caused by
weak or distressed kidneys. Cottage
Grove people testify to permanent
cures.
.Mrs. Ella Dishy, living on the east
Ide. Cottage Grove, Ore., says: “ I
suffered fo r a long time with an irreg
ular nett on of nty kidneys accompan
ied by an intense weakness and pains
in m y buck. In spite o f the use of
many remedies I was unable to find
relief. I suffered from headaches and
dizzy spells frequently annoyed me.
As a consequence my general health
become very much run down and I
was very miserable. I w as feeling
very much discouraged a t the time
D oan's Kidney Pills were brought to
iny attention. They were so highly
reco nimended that I decided to give
them 11 trial. I procured a box at
Benson’s Pharmacy. They acted up
to tlieir representations and in a
short time gave me relief. I steadily
improved and almost before I realized
il I was en joying excellent health. I
know ot others w ho have used
Doan’s Kidney Pills with just as sa t
isfactory results.”
