men would wish to pass through. Last

time Mr.. Langley was a hale, hearty
man. in the prime of life. Once the
disease manifested itself he began to
fail In few weeks he was but
shadow in spite of all that doctors could
do for him. No medicine even checked
the disease temporarily. Hearing of
Dodd's Kidney Pills and of the cures
they had effected in other cases, he
got some and began using them. From
the first an Improvement was notice
able. To-day Mr.. Langley is cured.
Bright's disease has up to the present
been considered incurable, but Mr..
Langley is not the first, by many, of
it's victims who has been cured by
these pills.

pills from his local druggist may OBJ
