dizzy spells,, queer pains and irregular
kidneys, give reason to suspect kidney
weakness and to try the remedy that
ha* helped thousands of people in this
country.
Mrs. May Bailey, 352 Broadway
Santa Cruz, Cal., say*: “Doan’s Kid
«iey Pills are an old-stand by with me
They have don* me a world of good.
3dy kidneys were in bad shape and I
differed a great deal with my back.
I couldn’t sleep nights and was so
dizzy I could hardly stand on my feet.
Headaches almost drove me wild and
I was so nervous that the least noise
caused mo to tremble. My kidneys
acted irregularly, too. I used Doan’s
as directed and they soon stopped the
backaches and regulated my kidneys.
I could sleep nights and was free from
the nervous, dizzy spells.’
Price 60 cents, at all dealers. Don’t

Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
