COMPLAINT.

For over six years have been n ter
ribIe sufferer from a troublesome kid
ney complaint, for the relief OF which
have spent over $3.50 without benefit,
the most noted so-caled remedys prov
ing failures. The use of one single
bottle of B. b. b., has been marvellous,
giving more relief than all other treat
ment combined. It Is quick cure,
while others, If they cure at all, are In
the distant future.

am surprised at the slight interest taken
by the people of this country in cooperative
and industrial associations, These are re
FORMS at least, in which Europe leads US
long way. There are $50 cooperative
societies in Germany with membership Of
oyer $3.50, 0o9 ami last year they purchased
over $50, O00, 900 Of goods. In England there
are $50 societies, with 500, 600 members.
which dealt in merchandise last year to the
extent Of SILT 900, $50.
They were first organized in England in
lS17 and last year the members saved
on goods bought over $4,000, 900, which,
being reduced to an individual average,
is equal TO ne-fifteanth Of the annual i'll
income of each member. These associations
have buyers i'll every large market il the
world, who ara ever on the alert to take AZ.

TO be derived from these organizations are SO
