Come quickly with little warning. Children suffer in their early years— Can’t control the kidney secretions. Girls are languid, nervous, suffer oain. Women worry, can’t do daily work. Men have lame and aching backs. The cure for man, woman, or child. Is to cure the cause—the kidneys. , Doan’s Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys— Cure all forms of kidney suffering. Mrs. Andrew Brenner, 1821 Toledo Street, Logansport. Ind., says: “We think Just as highly of Doan’s Kidney Pills at this time as when we gave a statement recomm°nding them in 1897, after they had cured our daughter of a very distressing case of kidney trouble. Her kidneys became weakened after a severe attack of typhoid fever and as a result, she endured much suffering. I had used Doan’s Kidney Pills with such good results that I decided to have my daughter try them and procured a box. They helped her greatly from the first and she steadily Improved until completely cured. This care took place In 1897 and as no recurrence of the troji6le have taken place, I feel that I can recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills to other sufferers.” Plenty more proof like this from Rensselaer people. Call at B. F. Fendlg’s drug store and ask what customers report. For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the name—Doan’s —and take no other. The wise men of old have sent most of their mortality down the stream of £lme in the light skiff of apothegm or epigram. The beautiful lawß of time and spare are holes and dens. If the hive be disturbed by rash and stupid hands, instead of honey it will yield as bees.
