Providence, r. L.:
During the past six or seven years have
been severely afflicted with Kidney diseases,
causing intense backaches, dizziness and other
severe pains through my body and limbs, rem
dering me so weak and PROSTATE that at times
it was impossible for me to do any part of my
homework. have had also a luttering of the
heart, and was terribly distressed for breath. I
was very miserable, and completely worn out
and discouraged; 1 had no ambition to under
take to do anything, and barely sufficient
strength to render existence desirable, having
failed to find any relief from the doctors pre-
scriptions. At this trying crisis a friend per-
suaded me TO obtain bottle of Hunts Remedy,
and now rejoice that l followed this friendly
advice, for the remedy acted like charm in my
case After had taken a few doses my health
began to improve; felt better every way. Tho
Tutoring of the heart, the intense backaches
and terrible shortness of she breath speedily dis
appeared, my strength and ambition soon re-
turned, and before I had taken two bottles of
the Remedy was entirely well and able TO wash
and iron and do my homework. Once in a while
am troubled with the headache. and as soon as
am taken 1 resort to Hunts Remedy, and
few doses fix me all right. I shall never be-
without it in the future. L have frequently re-
commended the Hunts Remedy to my friends.
and they have experienced relief from the first
dose. heartily recommend it TO all who are
afflicted with Kidney disease or diseases of the
Liver, Bladder or Urinary organs. I think no
family should be without it.

THAT SETTLES IT.
Brought Into Competition With
the World, the Best Carries
Off the HOnOrS.

At the great Centennial Exhibition of 1876 the
leading products of all the branches of tho
Worlds industry were assembled at Philade-
phia. To carry off prize in the face of that
tremendous competition was a task of no ordina.
ny difficulty. Inventions and preparations for
the alienation of pain and the cure of disease
we're present in the greatest possible variety,
representing the skill and the profoundest study
of the age, and it may be of vital importance to
you, personally, to know that the highest and
only medal gwen to rubber Porous plasters, was
awarded &c the manufacturers of BENSON,S
CAPCINE POROUS PLASTER, by the following
jury:
DIR. VIM. ROTH, surgeon-general, Prussian
Army.
j. il. THOMPSON, AM, MD, Washington,
&C.
c. B. WHITE, NJ. D., New Orleans.
ERNEST FLEIsCH, NJ. D, Austria.
The decision was afterwards confirmed by tho
medical Jury at the last Paris Exposition. Know
ing the value of such high and unbiased testi-
mony, the medical profession, both in the United
States and in Europe quickly threw aside tho
old, slowacting plasters they had been using,
and adopted Benson's in their regular practice.
That physians and surgeons of the broadcast
regulations did this. distinctly proves the in
trinsic merit of the article.
