The kidneys are weak and need the strengthening help cf Doan s Kidney Pills. Read how these pills repair a weakened physical con dition when this condition is caused by sick kidneys: Mrs. Sadie Mettles of 294 W. 4th Ave., Columbus, Ohio, says: "Prior to the year 1893 I suffered considerably from backache, pain in the head, lan guor and depression and weakness of the action of the kidneys. The pain was always worse in the morning, and I felt miserable. I was induced to procure a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills and I began their use. They proved prompt and effective. They cured me and there has been no return of the trouble since taking them. I owe all the credit to Doan’s Kidney Pills.” A FREE TRIAL of this great kid ney medicine which cured Mrs. Met tles will be mailed on application to any part of the United States.
