Some Good Advice
Strengthened by Bellefonte Exper-
ience.
Kidney disease is too dangerous to
neglect. At the first sign of backache,
headache, dizziness or urinary disor-
ders, you should give the weakened
kidneys prompt attention. Eat little
meat, take things easier, and use a
reliable kidney tonic. There’s no oth-
er kidney medicine so well recom-
mended as Doan’s Kidney Pills. Belle-
fonte people rely on them. Here's
one of the many statements from
Bellefonte people.
Mrs. B. F. Blair, 108 Howard St.,
says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney
Pills occasionally when suffering
from kidney trouble. They certainly
have benefitted me in every way, in
fact, I haven’t had to use any kidney
medicine for kidney complaint since I
first took Doan’s Kidney Pills.
think there is nothing as good as
Doan’s for people who may be troub-
led with weak kidneys.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
