And Your Strength and
Energy Is Below Par
It may be caused by disorder of kid
ney function that permits poisonous
waste to accumulate. For truly many
people feel tired, weak and miserable
when the kidneys fail to remove excess
acids and other waste matter from the
blood.
You may suffer nagging backache,
rheumatic pains, headaches, dixziness,
getting up nights, leg pains, swelling.
Sometimes frequent and scanty urina
tion with smarting and burning Is an
other sign that something is wrong with
the kidneys or bladder.
There should be no doubt that prompe
treatment is wiser than neglect. Use
Doan's Pills. It is better to rely on a
