My head ached and I was often so dizzy I came near falling. Spots seemed to come before by eyes and my kidneys acted irregularly. I used two boxes, of Doan’s Kidney Pills and they gave mo wonderful relief.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedyget Doan’s Kidney Pills— the same that Mrs. Morlan had.
