are unavoidable. Then again, there is
trouble that is easily avoided if you

statement of Mrs. M Langton of 2O21

OF her trouble and now she got entirely
over it. She says: Il am well aware
every one has trouble without listening
to mine, but hope by telling mine I
shall instruct others how to avoid theirs.

pains and swelling of the limbs which
became very painful. For the past five
or six years several doctors have treat
ed me for my trouble without arresting
the progress of the disease. They knew
what the trouble was and pronounced
it kidney complaint. zone doctor said
he could do nothing for me and advised
me to make my will When I arrived
at this stage I became very anxious to
try any and everything could hear Of
Some time ago I read about and tried
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids. The recommends
were so high that I procured ana used
them strictly according to directions
After the first box was used grew
less nervous, and rested well at night,
which is something I had not exper-
fenced for months. I am now on the
third box and the help has been so
great that I am glad to continue using
them, believing that I have found a
Genuine Cure. With an indications I
shall soon be well. I desire all my
friends to write to me and learn more
about the wonderful remedy, Morrow's
