A SIGNAL OF DISTRESS.

Pain in the back is the kidneys’ signal of distress. If this timely warning is ignored kidney disease silently fastens its deadly grip—for kidney sickness flrat shows itself in pains and disorders Ht other parts, and the real .cause is too. often hidden until fatal'kidney disease has’set in. Suspect the kidneys if you ' are rheumatic and nervous, or’have a lame back; painful, too frequent or scanty urination; weak hearty spells; headaches; bloating or neuralgia. .'Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills have been curing lame backs' and sick kidneys for years. Th© following endorsement is convincing: Mr.- T. C. Sherson, Cloton Road, Stro* ford, says: “Owing to th© improper tion of my kidneys I more or less, from backache for gome time, was not a serious case, but I was alwaya conscious of a nagging ache across tSa smffil of my back which was very try* ing. I used several kidney remedies, but nothing seemed do.-, benefit me. . Cine dav a friend suggested that I should take* ar course of Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills! and it was a real friend’s advice, for iff put me right in no time. Needless >» . say, I am a great believer in this cine, and always keep a’ bottle’- in. iha house, and whenever I feel the sign. of . backache I three or fair doses,’ and they never Tall to give ma. great relief. I shall always speak well -, of Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills,, and. I hope many. will, benefit from my experience. For. oaring. .backache and weak kidneys there is nothing,to equal Doan’s Pills. My experience proves them to be a thoroughly reliable remedy.” Four’ years later, Mr. Sherson sayt: “I hay© had no return of my ol«J eqfliplaint since Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills cured me over-four .years . Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills are sold by all : chemists and storekeepers. . ter-McClellan Co., Proprietors, 16 Hamilton Street, Sydney, . .. But, be sure you: get DOANES. •
