\o One Knows. » THE W EIGH T ()F ANOTHER MANS BURDEN. MA3SY A ONE IN ASKBURTON BROUGHT TO LIQBT, You know if you have % burden to bear, You know where yon are taxed io bear it. You know how nmoh trouble it gives youj But do you know how to shake it off 1 The back bears more burdens thsn aril the human organism, And it objects to it, sometimes emphatl \ caljy- It aches, it pains, is weak and lame. It's your fault if yon don't oome to the rescue. Perhaps you don't know how. We coold tell you but; you might doubt us, We will let au Ashbarton man do it then, 'tfs easier proved. Mr T Alexander, Moore Street, Ash burton, states ;-~'For about seven ye&ra I've had disordered kidneys. At times the tortures I have had to put up with have been unbearable and I would have to knock ofF work. In fact, work at sneo times was Impossible. The agony wm right in the small of my back and in such a part that it would strike over my body. Ihe eecretioris were allb bad, red with ft brick dust like sediment, and scalded considerably. When these attacks were severe I waa compelled to go to the doctor about the matter, but somehow their medicines did not act, up to the raaik. I was pretty bad when I BttW Doan's Backache Kidney Pills advertised, and a3 this seemed a likeJy sort of medi cine for my trouble, I obtained a box at tha Ashburton Drug Go's store. The relief came soon after I started using them, and after a course the pain was quite cured, and my secretions cleared of all foreign substances.. They ate tip top pills and should be made known to ftll sufferers from kidney troqble.' Take no substitute. Remember it wm Doan'd Backache Kidney Pills which cured Mr Alexander, and you want the same remedy. Doan'a Backache Kidney Pills are sold by all chemists aad storekeapers afc 3d per bux (six boxes 16s 6d), or will be posted on receipt of price by the proprietors, Foster, McLean 00, 76 Pitt Street, Sydney, N.S.W.
