DO IT NOW
Hickory People Should Not
Wait Until It Is Too Late
The appalling death rate from kid"
ney disease is due in most cases to the
fact that the little kidney troubles are
usually neglected until they become
serious. The slight symptoms give
place to chronic disorders and the suf
ferer goes gradually into the grasp of
dropsy, Bright's disease, gravel or
some other serious form of kidney
complaint.
If you suffer from backache, head
aches, dizzy spells; if the kidney secre
tions..are irregular of passage and un
natural in appearance, do not delay.
Help the kidneys at once.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
for kidney disorders—they cure where
others fail. Over one hundred thou
sand people have recommended them.
Here's a case at home:
Mrs. W. M. Deal, 1819 Tenth Ave.,
j Hickory, N. C., says: "Doan's Kid-
I nay Pills, which I obtained at Mooser
I & Latz's Drug Store, are the most re
liable kidney medicine I ever used,
Thy gave me prompt relief from a
constant pain in my back and im-
I prove my condition in every way.''
