DANGER IN DELAY i
Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous ;
For Shelby I’eople to Negleet.
The great danger of kidney troubles j
is that they so often get a firm hold f
before the sufferer recognises them, '
Health will be gradually undermined.
Backache, headache, nervousness,
lameness, soreness, lumbago, urinary
troubles, dropsy, gravel and Bright’s j
disease may foliow as the kidneys get j
worse. Don’t negleet your kidneys, -
Help the kidneys with Doan’s Fills, :
which are so strongly recommended
right here in'Shelby.
I). E. McWhirter, 111 Mill St., says
“I can endorse Doan’s Fills as a
good kidney remedy. I used them
when my kidneys were out of order
and 1 had dull backaches and pains {
across my kidneys. My kidneys act- '
ed irregularly but Doan’s Pills from j
Cleveland Drug store were the,right ,
remedy for me and soon relieved the I
backache and other signs of kidney 1
trouble.”
