Some Greenville People Fall to Realize the Seriousness, The constant aching of a bad back, The weariness, the tired feeling, pains and aches of kidney ills Are neglected. urinary troubles follow. Mrs. C. C. Eastern Ave., Rocky Mount, N. C, think a deal of Kidney Pills received much benefit from their use. I suffered for a long time from dull pains in my back and loins and on arising in the morning. I was so lame and sore that I could hardly stoop to pat on my shoes. If I made a quick movement or per- formed any work that required the use of the muscles of my back, I was re- warded with sharp twinges throughout my body. I had no strength or energy and felt generally run down, but was at a lose to know how to obtain relief. Kidney Pills were finally brought to my attention and believing that they might help me, I procured a box. Since using them I have been free from backache and have had no trouble from the kidneys. My advice to any one afflicted with kidney com- plaint is to use Kidney For sale by all dealers. Price cents. Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the take no other.
