DON’T TAKE A CHANCE

Rensselaer People Should Act in Time. If you suffer from backache; If you have headaches, dizzy spells; If the kidney secretions are irregular. Don’t delay—-likely your kidneys are sick. / Rensselaer people recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills. Here’s a Rensselaer man’s experience: • Geo. Green, cement contractor, Oak) St., Rensselaer, says: “My back hurt me and the nagging ache there seemed as if it would wear me out. When I walked around or in anyway bent or turned, sharp pains pierced my kidneys. I used Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured from A. F. Long’s Drug Store, and got great relief. I think they are a fine medicine.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Green had. Foster-Mil-burn Co., Props., Buffalo; N. Y. — Advt.
