Decatur People Should Learn to Detect the Approach of Kidney Disease. The. symptoms of kidney trouble are so unmistakable that they leave no ground for’ doubt. Sick kidneys excrete a thick, cloudy, offensive urine, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding. The back aches constantly, headaches and dizzy spells may occur and the victim is often weighed down by a feeling of languor and fatigue. Neglect these warnings and there is danger of dropsy, Bright's disease, or diabetes. Any one of these symptoms is warning enough to begin treating the kidneys at once. Delay often proves fatal. You can use no better remedy than Doan's Kidney Pills. Decatur proof: Daniel Weldy, retired farmer, S. First street, Decatur, Ind., says: “I have had kidney trouble for years and at my advanced age, I consider a cure impossible. However, I have used Doan's Kidney Pills procured from the Holthouse Brug Co. and from the results receive!, I consider them a kidney remedy worthy of endorsement.” For sale by all dealers.
