We give you as reference Nicholas

81 have been sorely afflicted with q
dull heavy pain across the small Of
my back In the region of the kidneys
for a long time. When l would catch
a cold the pain would be more severe
andit was with difficulty that l could
work at my trade. Learning about
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids, l got a pack
age and used them as directed. In q
very short time l was completely re-
lieved of kidney backache and it has
not returned since. Morrow's Kid
ne-oids are the right remedy for dis
ordered kidneys and I will recon-
mend them to all sufferers"
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills,
but yellow tablets, which is a scien-
tlic form Of preparing medicine.
Kid-ne-oids will positively cure all
kidney ailments. They are put up In
wooden boxes which contain enough
for about two weeks treatment and
sell at fifty cents a box at all drug
stores and at Buckner g. Whitney's
drug store.
