Many women have to do their own
housework, and the constant bend
ing over, lifting, making beds,
swiping, ironing, sewing, so neces
sary ‘ to perform their household
duties puts a heavy strain on the
back and kidneys, and if there were
no kidney weakness the back would
be strong and well.
Doan’s Kidney Pills help to give
relief to weak, backache, kidney suf
fering women.
Doan’s Kidney Pills are put up
in an oblong grey box with our trade

They’d Tell You How
More Milk!
IF your Dairy Cows are to do their BEST, you’ve got to help
them.
IF COWS COULD TALK, they’d tell you that besides the
usual but important requirements such as milking at regular
hours—fresh, clean water at all times, allowance of at least
six weeks for a dry period; they must have all the MINER
ALS, PROTEINS, VITAMINS, and other milk and body
building ingredients so essential to successful milk produc
tion.
MINERALS in the diet of the dairy cow are very important.
Lack of these minerals means—lowered milk production-—
lack of vitality—and weakness of leg and framework. SHUR-
GAIN 16% DAIRY 'RATION is packed full of the very in
gredients that cows must have to keep them healthy and
producing profitably.
TRY SHUR-GAIN 16% DAIRY RATION TODAY, for bet
ter nutrition of your dairy herd, and be assured that they are
receiving adequate supplies of PROTEINS, MINERALS and
VITAMINS, to satisfy their needs. "
Some of the ingredients of Dairy Ration are in very short
supply, such as Bran, Shoids, Oilcake, Soya Bean Oil Meal,
but they are all there in their proper proportion.
