KIDNEY TROUBLES ENDED.
Death From Kidney Diseases A
Thing OF the Past.
John Morrow Has Produced i'm Norrov's

orders of Those Organs.

orders of Those Organs.
The progress of medical science
and It's application have so far adj
vanced during the century. the most
eminent specialists are of the opinion
that 80 years from now will find no
disease incurable. This being so. and
we have no reason to dispute it, rs all
experience and thought demonstrates
the feasibility of such progress in
medicine. we are verging upon a rev.
citation, that will show us, if not real
ly astonish, the true relation of all
bodily organisms to each other. All
medical discoveries, however. cannot
conquer death, but they will give
he assurance that. if every one take
advantage of the means to heal dis
eases, old age will be the only thing
hat nature can use to remove us from
our present existence.
Among those who have made prog
ress in medicine, no one will stand
out more prominently than that re-
nowned chemist, John Morrow. of
Springfield. Ohio, the discovcrer of
Morrow kidneoids, the only remedy
that will cure all diseases of the Kid
neys-recent or long standing, acute
or chronic.
Pain i'll the back on loins. sick head
ache, uneasiness of the stomach.
chilliness. loss of strength and encr-
gy. etc. are some of the first symp-
toms of kidney trouble. Morrow s
kidneoids, taken at the very first. will
give almost instant relief. If the all
ment is allowed to gain ground. of
course il will require longer treat
mcnt with Kidneoids. Morrow
Kidneoids will not work miracles, but
they will cure beyond shadow of
doubt all kidney disorders and make
the kidneys sound and useful as they
were when in their original perfect
health.
As long as the world stands and
| mankind is amenablc To nature s
laws and suffers from disease-seem-
ingly his birthright- Morrow's Kid
neoids will hold preeminent place in
Materia Medica. Not even anti-toXin,
the remarkable cure for diphtheria,
has so great hold upon grateful
public as Morrow's Kidneoids.
Morrow's kidneoids are on sale
everywhere at 80 cents box or six
boxes for $3.50. Kidneoids are al
ways put up in yellow tablet form;
none are genuine otherwise. If you
cannot get them of your dealer. will
