Are too great a strain on the

Kidney troubles urinary trou

Cameron Zamora janitor at Dr.
Wilcox Bldg. 1407 Iturbide St.
.Laredo lexas says: 1 was
troubled with backache and other
symptoms of kidney ailment for
several years. Whenever I caught
cold or did a little extra work the
symptoms appeared at their worst.
The pain in my back would get so
bad sometimes that I could not
stoop over to save my life and the
secretions from the kidneys were
scanty and painful. One box of
Doan's Kidney Pills cured this dif-
ficulty and it is now some time
since my back has given me any
annoyance. I can certainly recom-
mend this remedy to any person
similarly afflicted."
Plenty more proof like this from
Brownsville people. Call at J. L.
Putegnat & Bro.'s drug store and
ask what customers report.
