OF the very many persons who secured

Pills and have reported, they have either
been entirely cured, or greatly benefited,
quite number live in towns outside of
Santa Fe. They report that DR.. Hobbs
SpsraRus Kidney Pills have been creating

We have strong reason to believe wherever
the Santa Fe newspapers circulate, the
public test that DR.. Hobbs has been max
ing in this city has been closely watched.
From the large number of letters re-
ceived daily from persons testing these
pills, they indicate clearly the interest
being taken BY men and women who have
suffered for years with distressing and
dangerous kidney and kindred ailments,
which doctors have been unable to cure,
and who are reio:ced to know that there

as relatives and said that they would have
to make their claim good by solid legal
evidence before he would agree TO give
them a penny.
That we can readily do they replied.
because pa told us many a time that he
was from Saugerties, New York state, and
that you and Andrew We're his brothers"

personal communications with a deceased
person by one pecuniarily interested were
not legal evidence, they were greatly
troubled how to prove that the James
Brown Kipp. their father, was brother
of the Saugerties Kipp, who left the for

away from home when boy to seek his
fortune. and died in California, an old
man, without ever having returned to New
