our own know edge, sure to xii cold and cas-
ant as sure: The greatest inventions come by acct
deut, and it is singular that the Viii inc Com
pound, made for Colds and Coughs, should prove to
be he greatest remedy for kidney difcu ties known
But so it is. We cannot doubt it, so many testimo
mails come Q us from well known men Besides, the
character OF DR.. Pc and is SUI thatwe know he will
not cOuntenance what is wrong. For years Bap-
fist clergyman, studying medicine to find remedies
for hi, ailments, with delicate comsumptive look,
standing with one foot upon the grave, he made the
discovery which has saved him elf and cal ed out
from hundreds of others the strongest testimonials
