WHAT'S THE REASON?

There are scores of people who drag out a miserable existence without realising. the cause of their sufferings. I>ay after day they are racked with backache and headache; suffer from nervousness, have fallen behind in their work of filtering the blood and . that may 'be the root of the trouble. Look to your kidneys, assist them in their work—give the 01 the help they need. You can use no more highly recommended remedy than Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, endorsed by people all over the country.

Mrs G. Nevill, late of Ewing's road, Whangared, and now living in Palmers ton North, says:—"l am pleased to say my husband has derived great benefit from Doan's Backache Kidney Pilles. Previous to using these Pills, he suffered terribly with his back, the pain being often so severe that he could hardly get about. Hearing that Doan's Backache Kidney PIII3 were specially good for backache, he got some and commenced taking them, carefully following the directions', The first bottle did him a lot of good, and a course of the Pills drove the pain away completely. He never suffers with his back now, and cannot say enough in praise of the remedy that. cured him.''.

Two years later Mrs Nevill says:— "My husband has had no return of his old complaint since Doan's Backacke Kidney Pills cured him some years ago."
