MYSTERIOUS PAINS AND ACHES

Make Life Hard to, Bear for Many Rensselaer Women. Too many women mistake their pains and aches for troubles peculiar to the sex. More often disordered kidneys are causfng the aching back, dizzy spells, headaches and irregular urination. Kidney weakness becomes dangerous if neglected. Use a timetried kidney remedy—Doan’s Kidney Pills. Hosts of people testify to their merit. Read a Rensselaer case: Mre. G. F. Deschand, E. Elm St., says: “Doan’s Kidney Pills are the best remedy I have ever found for kidney trouble. I have used them when my kidneys were weak and out of order. My back ached so much I could hardly do my work and was in a run down condition. My kidneys were never regular In action, either. I used Doan’s Kidney Pills from Long & Son’s drug store and they helped me right away. The aches and pains left and I felt like a different person.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same that Mrs. Deschand had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y.
