Surely, then, there'sm reason why you feel so badly. Mote than likely it's your kidneys! You may have overworked, eaten too much meat, and had too little rest or sleep, all of which has thrown a heavv strain upon your kidneys. This maybe the cause of your bad back, that nervous, "blue;" depressed feeling, and teat annoying kidney irregularity. Don't wait for some serious kidney illness. Get back your health and keep it! Live more simply and sensibly for awhile and help the' weakened kidneys with Doan's Kidney Pills, j Doan's have helped thousands. They should help you. Ask your neighbor! ' These Are Omaha Cases: Entry Picture TtUi a Story Sherman Avenue , W. L. Appley, 2501 Sherman Ave., says: "Years ago I was doing a great deal of hard work and I believe this was the cause of my kidney trouble. My kidneys were in such a condition that I could hardly control their action. The secretions would pass very frequently and were highly colored and contained a brick-dust-like sediment. I got a box of Doan's Kidney Pills and after using them the trouble was nearly gone. A couple of boxes made my back and kidneys strong and healthy again and I have not been bothered to speak of since. However, with the least sign of any trouble with my back or kidneys, a few Doan's have always fixed me up again in a night." Cattelar Street Geo. McCabe, retired farmer, 1607 Castelar St., says: "In,the last few years I have on several oc casions used Doan's Kidney Pills when my, kidneys have in any way needed attention and they have always been just the remedy to regulate them and keep them acting properly. At these times my kidneys acted too frequently, especially at night, and the secretions burned in passage and were highly colored. I would have an awful tired feel ing across the small of my back that would make ' it almost impossible for me to straighten. A box of Doan's Kidney Pills at such times has always corrected the trouble whenever I have the slightest sign. I am glad to give this recommendation, for I am sure they will help others as they have helped me." So. Seventeenth Street Mrs. Chas. Appleton, 2818 South 17th St., says: "Three years ago I was quite poorly, owing to back ache and kidney disorder. I began using Doan's Kidney Pills and quick relief followed. They acted as a tonic to my kidneys, giving them strength and correcting all the trouble. The successful trial of this medicine by another member of the family gives us further proof of its merits, for the help we have derived from Doan's Kidney Pills has been of a permanent nature." The above statement was given August 14, 1912, and on May 15, 1920, Mrs. Appleton said: "I don't believe I shall ever change my good opin ion of Doan's Kidney Pills after the permanent cure they gave me." nJ O package of Doan't Kidney Pills i genuine unlet it bear the maple-leaf trade-mark and the ait-nature "JAS. DOAN." North Twenty-fourth Street Will McNamara, prop, barber shop, 5214 North 24th St., says: " I have a very high opinion of Doans Kidney Pills and am glad to recommend them. I had been suffering from disordered kid neys and the secretions were retarded in passage. Being on my feet so much and long hours of stand ing over a barber chair helped to make matters worse. My back got lame and painful and I would have a kind of hazy appearance come before my eyes. I had read such good accounts of Doan's Kidney Pills that I made up my mirrd to get a box and begin using them. They strengthened my kidneys and removed the backache. I have never been bothered since." , " Ohio Street Mrs. A. F. Lorance, 1421 Ohio St., says: "Some years ago I was feeling miserable and could hardly do my housework. I hardly knew what was the matter with me, but finally made up my mind it was kidney trouble. My back was weak and lame , and I would tire easily across my back when I would be on my feet long at a time. I also had some headaches with it. A friend told 'me that she believed Doan's Kidney Pills would be good for me, and I did find them to be just what I needed. One box was all that I had to use and I have not been bothered since. My kidneys are now strong and in fact, I feel like a different woman. I have not used Doan's or any other kidney remedy in the past year or more, for I have no need of them." .Doao' Kicbev s Every Druggist has Doan's, 60c a box, Foster-Milburn Co,, Manufacturing Chemists, Buffalo, N.
