WOULD YOU DOUBT
Statements of Your Best Citizens and Old
est InhabitantsS Here il One Who
Has Lived in Rock Island
For Forty Years.

|
Do YOU suppose man like
George Downing. of 909 Seventh ave-
nue.. who has lived in Rock Island for
10 wears. would turn around and tell
YOU that Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are
beyond all doubt the best remedy to
| be found for kidney complaint and
| backache if ii were not so? We think
not. 1t does not seem reasonable but
it does look reasonable that n man
like Mr.. Downing would be glad to
let every sufferer know that his back
ache would be cured by using Nor
rows Kid-ne oids. Mr.. Downing has
| tried this remedy himself for back
and kidney disorder. He obtained n
box at Bahnsen's drug store and used
| them with such good results that he
felt it his duty to let his friends know
what to take when afflicted in this
way. Here is his true story rs given
to our representative: "Two years
ago / had fall and struck by back on
a step and injured it pretty badly. |
thought | had cured it entirely and
for several months | felt all right. but
about year ago it began to bother
me considerably. At first l paid no
attention 10 it, but it became so bad
could scarcely get about. The lame
ness was across the small part in the
region of the kidneys. L took medi-
cine and used ointments of different
kinds and also plasters, but none of
them did me any good whatever.
Il heard about Morrow's kid-ne-oids
and thought | would give them 4 trial,
although | had little faith in patent
medicines. | got a box at Blhnsen'
drug store and began to use them rs
directed. | began to get better in Il
day or so after taking them, and can
say they are the only things l have
tried that have given me any relief.
am convinced that my kidneys were
affected, and kid-ne-oids are certainly
the things that will cure kidney dis
orders. -
d Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are yellow
tablets (not pills), and cure kidney
disorders, backache, nervousness,
sleeplessness, dizziness, lacN of ener-
gv, etc. Morrow s Liver-LaX are very
small red pellets and will cure consti-
patton Both of these remedies are
for sale by NJ. f. Bahnsen and all first
class druggists, or will be mailed by
the manufacturers on receipt of price.
