TIME TO ACT. Don’t Wait for tho Fatal Stages of Kidney Illness. Occasional attacks of backache, irregular urination, headaches and dizzy spoils are frequent symptoms of kidney disorders. It’s an error to neglect these ills. Tho attacks may pass oh for a time but generally return with greater intensity. Don’t delay a minute. Begin taking Doan’s Backacho Kidney Pills and keep up their use until tho desired results are obtained. Good work in New Zealand proves tlio effectiveness of this great kideny remedy. Mr S. J. Foster, 68 Warwick streot, Fciiding, says: —"1 am a great believer in Doan’s Backacho Kidney Pills, this romody having done me tho world of good. I used to suffer agony from pains in my back, and they never seemed to leave mo day or night. When 1 had to sloop the pain in trying to stand up straight again was almost unbearable. I always felt dull and tired, and bad no energy for anything. My limbs wero swollen, showing signs of dropsy, and., tho kidney secretions wero disordered, being thick and cloudy and contained a red sediment. Nothing I used seemed, to do mo any good, and I am sure, had it not been for Doan’s Backacho Kidney Bills I would still bo suffering. After talcing theso x>ills for a day or so I felt I was at last on tho mend, and by the time I had finished six bottles I was .cuerd, being entirely freo from every distressing symptom of kidney trouble.” Twelve years later, Mrs Foster says: “I had a slight return of backacho and kidnow trouoles some little time ago, but. I again used Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills, and they cured me. I always keep this medicine in tho house now.” Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills are sold by all chemists and storkoepers at 3s per boltlo or will bo posted on receipt of price by FosterMcClollan Co., 15 Hamilton' street, Sydney.
