KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Lumberton People Know How
to Save It
Many Lumberton people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting
the kidneys when they know these
organs need help. Weak kidneys are
responsible for a vast amount of
suffering and ill health the slight-:
est delay is dangerous. Use Doan's
Kidney Pills a remedy that has
helped thousands of kidney suffer-;
era. Here is a Lumberton citizen's :
recommendation. j
Mrs. S. E. Rogers, cor. Third A:
Chestnut Sts., Lumberton, says: "I;
suffered terribly from inflammation!
of the bladder and for a week at aj
time I was confined to my bed. My;
kidneys were sluggish and I had such
awful backaches that I could hardly
endure them, in fact, I felt miser-!
able in . every way. Nothing did mes
any good until I procured Doan's,
Kidney Pills at McMillan's Drug!
Store. The first box helped me won
derfully, easing my back and reg
ulating the action of my kidneys.
Three boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills
cured me and I have not had any
trouble since."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills the same
tbat cured Mrs. . Rogers. Foster-
