In an interview Mr.. Zeller states:
II had suffered for four years with
this affection, being often kept awake
at night with pains, and at times un-s

advertised remedies, and found that
they did me no earthly good. Finally,
a member of our Order, who had been
cured Of Kidney Disease by Dodd's
Kidney Pills brought me a box, and
asked me to try them. I had little
faith in them, but as a drowning man
