E BRINK IS N
Few Scraatou People know
liow near it is,
Kvery time you neglect backache,
Allow the kldneya to become clogged,
I-'all to cure urinary disorders,
You got nearer tho brink of Brlght's
Blsensc.
Doan's Kidney Pills will save jou
from danger.
Proof of it In Scranton testimony.
Mrs. Samuel It. Jones, of 130S Bynon
street, Hydo Park, says: "I suffered
for ninny years with kidney trouble.
My doctor said it was catarrh of tho
bladder. There wub a constant dull
pnln In the email of my back, which
extended up between my shoulders.
When stooping or doing any work
about the house tho pain was so sharp
as to become almost unbearable. I
might say that I hardly know what it
was to be without backache. I could
not sleep nights and would have to get
up often during morning and' walk the
lloor. I heard about Doan's Kidney
Pills nnd my husband got them for mo
at Jones' drug store on South Muln
avenue. I noticed a marked Improve
ment after taking the first box. I con
tinued the treatment until I had taken
eight or ten boxes. They did me a
wonderful amount of good. My hus
band can also join mo In praising
Doan's Kidney Pills, as he was relieved
of similar troubles by their use."
