miserable ny the racking pains OF This
this disease. He told a reporter who was
interested ia his case and WHO is asso.
GATED with him in the noble order Of the
Grand Army IF the Republic. that he has
been confined 10 his bed for days NJ a time
and that the pain in his back and legs
was almost uncomfortable and made him at
times almost helpless. He has been treat

clans and has taken several kinds Of pat
ent medicines. oil of which afforded him
but little If any relief. Mr.. Robertson was
also afflicted with disease of the kidneys.
from which he could find no permanent
relief. lie could not retain his urine,
which was highly colored. and was com
PEELED to get up several times during each
night. He has also at times been wholly
unable 10 control the movement Of his

The kidney trouble also showed great
Improvement, 30 much so that for a long
while he has been able To comfortably re-
tam his urine by getting up only NICE

free from kidney trouble. his urine being
scant and somewhat colored. He thinks.

result, and to them he gives MS grateful
praise, and also recommends these valu-
able pills TO all who are similarly afflicted.
