Be Sure They Properly
Cleanse the Blood
YOUR kidneys are constantly filter
ing waste matter from the blood
stream. But kidneys sometimes lag in
their work—do not act as nature in
v tended—fail to remove impurities that
poison the system when retained.
Then you may suffer nagging back
* ache, dizziness, scanty or too frequent
t urination, getting up at night, puffiness
under the eyes; feel nervous, misera
ble—all upset.
Don't delay? Use Doan's Pills.
Doan's are especially for poorly func
I tioning kidneys. They are recom
i mended by grateful users the country
over. Get them from any druggist.
