Many people have a weak spot.
Too often it's a bad back.
Twintres follow every sudden twist.
Dull aching keeps up, day and
night.
Backache is often from weak kid
neys.
i"! such case a kidney medicine is
needed.

Lumberton people recommend the

Mrs. Geo. Collin?. 604 Second St.,
Lumberton, says: "Several years ago
I was down with kidney complaint.
I was nervous and all run down. My
back ached and felt weak. I had no
ambition and it was hard for me to
bend over. I often got dizzy, black
specks came before my eyes and my
kidneys didn't act properly, either.
