That's a common expres
sion and has a world of
meaning. How much suf
fering is summed up in it
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by so' many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver com
plaint, consumption, cold,
nervous debility, &c
Whatever the cause, don't
neglect it Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will so quickly and surely
cure such diseases as
Brown's Iron Bitters, and
jt "does this by commencing
at the foundation, and mak
ing thetdood pure and rich.
Logans port, Ind. Dec. i, S8
I For a long tim I have been
nSferer from stomach and kidney
disease. My appetite was very poor
,. and the wy small amount I did eat
diiaizreed with me. I was annoytj
ery much from non-retennoa ol '
orine. I tried many remedies with
no success, until I used. Brown s
Iron Bitters. Since I used that my
stomach does net bother me any.
Myappetite issimpiy immense, my
kidney trouble is no more, and my
funeral health is such, that I feel
like a new man. After the us of
Brown's Iron Bitters for one monui,
I have cained twenty pound ia
weight. O. li. SABOKra
Leading physicians and
cler 'iKn use and recom
mena Lrowh's Iron Bit
ters. It has cured others
suffering as you are, and it
will cure you.
