WORN NERVES Nervous troubles, with backache, dizzy spells, queer pains and irregular kidneys, give reason to suspect kidney weakness and to try the remedy that has helped your neighbors. z Mrs. Joseph Adams, Work and Van Rensselaer Sts., Rensselaer, says: “I suffered very much from kidney disorders. My kidneys acted too often. I could get little rest at night and 1 felt tired all the time and was nervous and blue. Sometimes, flashes of color kept coming before my eyes. My head ached and it seemed as though I would go frantic. I finally got Doan’s Kidney Pills at A. F. Long’s Drug Store and they relieved me wonderfully.’’ Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy— T get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Adams had. Foster-Mil-burn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. — Advt.
