WORST KIND0F CASE
We Will Tell You if You Will
Believe 1t.
The Experience of Well Known
Persons Ought Surely to
be Convincing.

We will tell you what will cure the
worst kind of a case of backache caused
from the kidneys We VIII not only tell
you, but will refer you to people in all
walks Of life in the city of Wheeling who
have used Kid-ne-oids with the best of
results. We ask you to read the state
ment of Mrs. j. C. Williams, residing at
3 Florida street, who says:
81 was troubled with disordered kidneys
for about ten years and it seemed that
nothing l could get would cure me. The
pain across the small of my back was
very severe at times. About six years ago
/ had an attack of yellow jaundice which
left me in very bad condition; it seemed
to settle in my kidneys. My complexion
was very bad, the whites of my eyes were
yellow as is usual with jaundice, and
nothing l was ever able to get during all
that time would improve my condition.
Il read about Morrow's Kid-ne-oids and
Liverlax and decided that l would try
them. l obtained some at Chas. R.
Goetze's drug store and after taking them
for a few days my condition was very
greatly improved and my complexion be-
gan to get clear. L procured more and
continued the treatment until / was en-
tirely relieved of the pains across my
back, and my eyes and complexion We're
restored to their natural and healthy
color"
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills, but
yellow Tablete, and will cure all kidney
disorders, backache, nervousness and
sieeplessness. They are put UP IN wooden
boxes which contain enough for about two
weeks treatment, and sell at so cents a
box. Morrow's Liverlax are small red
granules, and will cure constipation They
sell at y cents box. Both remedies are
for sale by Chas. r. Goethe. the druggist

a large amount to improve the system 1t
is to be hoped that it will carry, however,
as one hose company, the V:g.lants, will
disband, they say, if it does not carry,
and probabilities are that the others will
follow suit on the ground that the hose
