Mrs. E. Samuel

“ I was tortured with backache and kidney trouble. I dared not stoop for tlio pains that seemed to stab mo like a knife. I was languid, depressed, and irritable. I often stopped in the street, feeling so faint and helpless with the pain that I was afraid to move another step. I tried every remedy I heard of, but only seemed to get worse. At. last I was advised to try Do Witt’s Kidney and Bladder Pills, and was astonished at the relief 1 obtained from the first few doses. I improved wonderfully within a week, and in a very short time I was delighted to find that I had completely shaken off my old trouble. I have been perfectly well ever since, and cannot praise these wonderful little pills too highly/’ These aro the words of Mrs. Samuel, of 77, Regent-street, Abcraman, Aberdare, who writes in June, 1919: ‘ r My cure has proved a permanent one. I am still in the best of health.”

Mrs. Ellen Saunders, of 7, Chapel Lane, Selly Oak, nr. Birmingham, said in September, 1911: “ I was a martyr to backache pains and urinary weakness for over ten years. The pains at times were terrible, attacking me right in the small of the hack, as if I were being stabbed. Stooping to do household work was a torture, and I used to dread straightening my back again. I suffered acute pain and discomfort from bladder weakness. Doctors’ prescriptions and advertised remedies of all kinds I tried to no purpose. Then 18 months ago I tried De Witt’s Kidney and Bladder Tills in sample form, and they gave me so much relief that I was encouraged to continue with them. After several boxes the pains left me altogether, and I began to feel quite well and strong again. Since that time I have had no return of the dreadful pains, and my health has been remarkably good.”

■ That awful agonising backache? Many women struggle through their housework, day in, day out, with a continual aching back. Do yon get up feeling as tired as if you had never been to bed, with a i splitting headache, to commence another weary day?

Mrs- E. Saunders.

Five years later, in July, 1919, Mrs. Saunders writes;—“l am still keeping in splendid health, thanks to Do Witt’s Kidney and Bladder Pills. I shall always recommend them very strongly.”

The kidneys filler the blood, and if the kidneys are out of order the blood becomes surcharged with a virulent poison culled urea. You cannot mistake the warnings of this condition. Headaches, bad breath, loss of appetite, neuralgia, and nervous weakness are (he earlier symptoms. Then comes backache, the first obvious sign that the kidneys are weak or diseased—dull, tired, sickening pains that later on will become sharp and sodden, as if your back is breaking. Slowly the poison cats its way into the system, dagger-liko uric acid crystals stabbing and lacerating the tissues, causing those excruciating shooting twinges we cali rheumatism.

This is the simple, scientific truth about the developments of kidney disease. If you take steps to strengthen and tone up the kidneys, they will clear the ]>oison from the body with ease. It is by this simple process that De Witt's Kidney and Bladder Pills conquer kidney disease. Dissolving in the stomach, the healing properties pass tho stomach, the healing properties pass right through the kidneys and bladder, flushing them out and toning them up to a healths- condition. Do Witt’.s Kidney and Bladder Pills never fail to give relief from pain within 21 hours, and in very large number of severe and long-standing cases have seldom failed to effect a permanent cure. When you see a blue tinge in the urine film distinguishing mark of Do Witt’s Kidney and Bladder Pills) you know that they have set their healing touch on the kidneys, and you may expect immediate relief from pain.
