DOWNWARD COURSE
last Being Realized by San Antonio
People.
A little backache at first.
Daily increasing ’till the back Is
lame and weak.
Urinary disorders may quickly fol-
low.
Dropsy and often Bright’s disease.
This frequently is the downward
course of kidney ills.
Don’t take this course. Follow the
advice of a San Antonio citizen.
W. H. Manger. 806 Crosby street
San Antonio Tex. says: "My back
ached intensely especially at night
and I didn't rest well. I tired easily
and had but little ambition; in fact
I often had to lay off from work for
a few days. Colds always settled on
my kidneys and made the trouble
worse. A friend advised me to take
Doan’s Kidney Pills and I got a
supply at Fischer’s 1 Store. Two
boxes completely cured me and I
have been free from kidney trouble
ever since.”
Price 50c at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—got
Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Manger had. Foster-Milburn Co.
