took with him box OF Dodd's Kidney

him. He advised Mr.. Zeller to try
them, with the result that after seven
boxes had been used, he was entirely
well. and able to work.
In an interview Mr.. Zeller states
~ had suffered for four years with
this affection, being often kept awake
at night with pains, and al times I'M

advertised remedies, and found that
they did me no earthly good. Finally,

asked me to try them. ] had little
faith in them, but as drowning man
grasps at straw to help him, so
took the Pills. 1 used seven boxes,
and am to-day as well and strong
man as there is in Pennsylvania"
Naturally. Mr.. Zeller feels very
grateful, and his complete recovery
