In time of kidney danger, Doan's Kidney Pills are most effective. Ask your neighbor! s Plenty of Decatur evidence of their worth, Mrs. Ira Elzey, 340 N. 9th St, Decatur, says: "1 can endorse Doan’s 1 Kidney Pills as a reliable remedy ■' for kidney complaißt for I have used I' them with success. My kidneys s were weak and I often had severe i backaches and pains across my kida neys Tins made it hard for me to stoop and my kidneys didn't act right. Doan's Kidney Pills, which 1 ' got at Smith, Yager & Falk's Drug Store, soon stopped the backache *' and relieved all symptoms of kidney ■ complaint.” e Price 60c. at all dealers.
