OH! MY BACK

The Exfreseioa of Many a Kidney IJnffi lii in Rensselaer. A stubborn backache is cause to suspect kidney trouble. When the kidneys are inflamed and swollen, stooping brings a sharp twinge in the small of the back, that almost takes the breath away. Doan’s Kidney Pills revive sluggish kidneys—relieve aching backs. Here’s Rensselaer proof: Mrs. R. W. Burris says: “I was suffering from a steady ache in my back and could hardly move without having knife-like pains through my kidenyv. When I went to stoop over to tie my shoes or get up out Of a chair, that pain caught me. My head ached and I felt nervous and tired. I was often so dizzy I could hardly stand. My kidneys acted too often and caused me much distress. I used several boxes of Doan's' Kidney Pills and they put me in good shape.” Price Cfle» at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same th<t Mrs. Burris had. Foster-Aijl-burn Co.. Props., Buffalo, N. Y.—=Adrt.
