Everybody is likely to have kid
noy and bladder trouble. In fact
nearly everybody has some trou
ble of this kind. That is the rea
son why you so often have pains
in the back and groin, scalding
sensation, urinary disorders, etc.
that's your kidneys. The best
thing to do is to get some of De
Witt's Kidney and Bladder Pills
right away. Take them for a
Jew days or a week or so and you
will feel all right. In this way,
too, yon will ward ott dangerous
and possibly serious ailments.
They are perfectly harmless, and
are not only antiseptic, but allay
pain quickly by their healing
properties. Send your name to
K C. DeWitt & Co., Chicago, for
a free trial box. They are sold
here at Trout's drug store.
