Many rheumatic attacks are due to
uric acid in the blood. But the duty
of the kidneys is to remove all uric
acid from the blood. Its presence
there shows the kidneys are inactive.
Don't dally with "uric acid sol
vents". You might go on till dooms
day with them, but until you cure
the kidneys you will never get well, ,
Doan's Kidney Pills not only remove
uric acid, but cure the kidneys and
then all danger from uric acid is end
ed.
F. A. Sutton, 1125 Water street
saiem, uregon, says: "For ten or
twelve years rheumatism and kidney
trouble were the plague of my live
I could hardly move owing to the
lameness in my back and had to
come Into the -city to doctor for the
trouble. Nothing seemed to bring me
more than temporary relief and I
was in bad shape when I procured
Doan's Kidney Pills. They benefit
ted me at once and when I had tak
en, the contents of three boxes I was
free from every symptom of my old
trouble. My health is now better than
in years."
