WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.
All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work day and night. When heal
thy they remove about 500 grains of
impure matter daily, when unhealthy
some part of this impure matter is left
in the blood. This brings on many dis
eases and symptoms—which vary
widely but may include pain in the
back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry
skin, rheumatic pains, gout, gravel,
disorders of the eyesight and hearing
dizziness, irregular heart, debility,
drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the
urine, etc. But if you keep the fitters
right the danger is overcome. Doan's
Kidney Pills have proven an effective
kidney medicine.
James Johansen. Loup City, says: “I
was in pretty bad shape with my back
and couldn't stoop or straighten up
without being in misery. Sharp pains
often seized me and 1 dropped to the
ground. As soon as I began using
Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at the
Swanson Drug Store. 1 could tell that
I was being helped. They have never
since failed me.
Price 50 cents at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Johansen had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

CORED HIS PILES
WITHOUT OPERATION
Ravenna. Neb., Nov. 21. 1916. Three
years ago I -suffered with a very bad
case of Piles. I was so run down
physiciallv with this trouble that I
lost over 20 pounds in weight and
fopnd it very hard to attend to my
work. I was advised to see Dr. Rich,
of Grand Island. Neb., which I did.
I am now glad to testify after three
years, for Dr. Rich's benefit and for
the benefit of others suffering as I
did who wish to be cured without an
operation, that I am cured. I have
not had a single symptom of Piles
since I was treated three years ago'
and am back to my normal weight
and health, in fact. I feel better than
ever, other troubles having left me
when my Piles were cured. I had suf
fered with Piles for ten years, the
last three years of which time was
simply the infernal for me. For the
good I received from Dr. Rich I am
deeply grateful—and I most sincere
ly recommend his treatment to any
one who needs it.
