Cured to Stay Cured. Mrs J. Rackley, corner Bird and Richardson streets, St. Kilda, Dunedin, says:—"Kidney trouble came on slowly in my case. The first sign I had of anything being wrong was a pain in my back; but I did not bother much about it, thinking it would soon go away. In this I was mistaken, for as time went on I got worse and worse until I was obliged to lay up. My ankles and legs began to swell, and this_ I knew was a sign of dropsy; then the secretions became affected, bedng thick and cloudy. I was also subject to dizzy turns, and altogether in a very poor state of health. I tried all sorts of kidney remedies, but nothing did mo any good. At last I got Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, and this medicine worked wonders. The first bottle benefited me considerably, and eight bottles made a perfect cure. Six months have elapsed since then, and I am still well, a fact that proves Doan's Backache Kidney Pills cure to stay cured." Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are sold by all chemists and stores at 3s per bottle (six bottles 16s 6d), or post free on receipt of price from Fostor-McClellan Co., 76 Pitt street, Sydney. Nothing undermines the health so seriously as kidney disorder, for when the kidneys arcweak or diseased they poison the blood instead of purifying it, just as a poisoned filter poisons the water that passes through it. For the kidneys are the blood filters from birth to death the blood is continually streaming through them to be filtered. But when the kidneys are weak or diseased they begin to lose their power of filtering the blood. Then the urinous waste left in the blood begins to spread disease to all parts of the body. The patient feels unnaturally drowsy and heavy, and grows irritable and miserable. The uric acid and urea begin to settle in the muscles and joints, causing the stiffness and pain and rheumatism. The heart seems affected, and the patient may be subject to bad attacks of giddiness. At the first appearance of any of the above symptoms, the patient should commence with a thorough course of Doan's Backa-che Kidney Pills. They promote a fre-i flow from the kidneys, so deposits of uric acid poison are flushed out, leaving the r,ystem oleaE and healthy.
