-Today’* popularity
of Doan's Pills, after
many years of world
wide use, surely must
be accepted as evidence
of satisfactory use.
And favorable public
opinion supports that
of the able physicians
who test the value of
Doan’s under exacting
laboratory conditions.
These physicians, too, approve every word
of advertising you read, the objective of
which is only to recommend Doan's Pills
as a good diuretic treatment for disorder
of the kidney function and for relief oi
•he pain and worry it causes.
If more people were aware of how the
kidneys must constantly remove waste
that cannot stay in the blood without in
jury to health, there would be better un
derstanding of why the whole body suffers
when kidneys lag, and diuretic medica
tion would be more often employed.
Burning, scanty or too frequent urina
tion sometimes warn of disturbed kidney
function. You may suffer nagging back
ache, persistent headache, attacks of diz
ziness, getting up nights, swelling, pufli
ness under the eyes—feel weak, nervous,
all played out.
Use Doan’s Pills. It is better to rely on
a medicine that has won world-wide ac
claim than on aomething less favorably
known Ask your neighborI
