"They are for mother" : Doan's Backache Kidney Pills Co.'s specific for kidney complaints / Doan's Backache Kidney Pill Co.

Leaflet or magazine insert advertising the Doan's Backache Kidney Pill Co.'s pills. Made from purest extracts of roots and herbs they contained no opium, cocaine, arsenic, bromides, strychnine, morphine, calomel or mercury - something which was clearly a concern at the time. The medicine had been invented in Canada 71 years previously. The front shows a girl in a white lace bonnet and black, short-sleeved dress carrying 2 tubes of the pills home from the chemists (window behind her). An illustration of the pack is in the lower left corner. Printed in black with pink tints on white paper. It doesn't say specifically what the pills are supposed to cure other than backache and implied kidney disorders.
