exertion, excessive smoking or exposure to
cold sometimes slows down kidney (unc
tion. This may lead many folks to com
plain of nagging backache, loss of pep and
energy, headaches and dizziness. Getting
up nights or frequent passages may result
from minor bladder irritations due to cold,
dampness or dietary indiscretions.
If your discomforts are due to these
causes, don't wait, try Doan’s Pills, a mild
diuretic. Used successfully by millions for

Mrs. Ann Poling, 609 Delaware
St, Indianapolis, Indiana, who
was suffering from deficiencies
of Vitamins B», B>, Iron, and
Niacin, smiles as she pours her
self another cup of coffee. Mrs.
Poling says life lately is like it
used to be years ago ... "that is,
of course, since I’ve been taking
HADACOL.” She can’t get over
what a difference HADACOL has
made in her outlook on life.
Mrs. Poling says: "Three months
ago a good friend of mine told
me about HADACOL—she knew
how much stomach distress I have
had. Any type of food that was
fried or that had add in it I just
couldn’t eat It affected my
sleep, too. In fact, I couldn’t have
been in a worse condition. When
I ate what I wanted to I felt mis
erable and when I didn’t eat these
things—l didn’t have a proper
diet and still felt bad. Then, when
I started taking HADACOL, I
felt better immediately. I’ve got
a bottle in the house now—and
will continue to keep HADACOL
from now on. I have told many
folks about HADACOL—and they
all thank me for telling them
about HADACOL. They all have
gotten wonderful results from
HADACOL like I have. Now I
eat anything I want and get a
good night’s sleep. I can’t praise
HADACOL enough.’’
HADACOL Can Help Ten, Too!
... as it has helped thousands
of others whose systems lacked
Vitamins Bt, B* Iron and Niacin.
Yes, even hundreds of. doctors
have recommended HADACOL to
their patients. The HADACOL
foimtt is so effective for stom
ache distress, nervousness, in
constipation, tdMN flttd
patas of neuritis, and a general
run-down condition caused by
such deficiencies.
... to give HADACOL • chance
wm—Qmw, these we no snbetttutaa
forHADACOL Always insist on
the nwntoe HADACOL. No risk
involved. Buy a bottle of HADA
sixa, *SJO, and if HADACOL does 1
not help you your money will be I
refunded.
