So Was This Decatur Woman Who Tells Her Experience All too often women accept their pains and aches as natural to their sex. They fail to realize that weak kidneys are often to blame for that backache, those headaches, dizzy spells and that tired, depressed feeling. Thousands have found new health and strength hy helping the weakened kidneys with Doan’s Pills —a stimulant diuretic. This Decatur case is one of many: Mrs. Ema Parr. 329 North 9th St., says: "There were bearing down pains in the small of my back. Sharp pains took me when 1 bent and it was) ' hard for me to straighten. Mornings ( my back was lame and stiff. Back j ache troubled me so badly day after day 1 soon felt tired and weak. Little specke blurred my sight and I had spells of dizziness, too. My kidneys were as sluggish and the secretion didn't pass often enough. Doan’s Pills from the Holthouse Drug Co. , drove away the kidney trouble.” 60c. at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co.. Mfrs., Buffalo. N. Y. ■ o NOTICE Tit *OV-REMIIENTS State of Indiana.
