A prominent gentleman in Cerro Gordo
County, Iowa, writes us that he finds Kid
ney-Wort to be the best remedy he ever
knew for complication of diseases. 1t is
the specific action which it has on the liver,
kidneys and bowels, which gives it such
curative power, and it is the thousands of
cures which it is performing which gives it
its great celebrity. Liquid, (very concen-
