Help for 0ld Folks
Olid Age Should be Happy—Not a
Time of Sickness and Suffering.
Too many people begin to suffer at
middle age with constant backache,
urinary ills and rheumatic pains and
aches, Weak kidneys are usuall y the
cause and, if neglected, there is dan-
ger of hardened arteries, dropsy,
gravel or Bright's disease. Help
your weakened kidneys with a stimu-
lant diuretic before kidney disease
gets a firm hold! Use Doan’s Pills.
Thousands of old folks recommend
Doan’s.
Here is Bellefonte proof:
Joseph Alters, carpenter, 310 E.
Bishop St., says: “My back ached so
badly I could hardly keep on the job.
It was hard to do any heavy lifting
and sawing. My kidneys acted too
often at times and the secretions
were scanty. I used Doan’s Pills from
the Parrish Pharmacy. My back is
now well and strong.”
