IF you Feel
■ ■ ■ ■■»>
These days most people work under
pressure, worry more, sleep less. This
strain on body and brain makes physical
fitness easier to lose—harder to regain.
Today’s tense living, lowered resistance,
overwork, worry—any of these may affect
normal kidney action. When kidneys get
out of ordjer, excess acids and wastes
remain in the system. Then backache,
disturbed rest, that “tired-out” heavy-
headed feeling often follow. That’s the
time to take Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Dodd’s
stimulate the kidneys to normal action.
Then you feel better—sleep better—work
better: Ask for Dodd’s Kidney Pills at
any drug counter. 53
