ADDS HIS EVIDENCE.
Story is the Same as From
Other Sources.
Lots Of Money Spent but no Returns
Have Been Received.

The people in Iowa willingly add
their evidence to that which has al
ready been given in favor of Morrow's
kid-ne-oids, the best remedy that has
ever been sold in this state for back
ache, kidney and urinary disorders,
sleeplessness and nervousness. Our
druggists report wonderful cures and
state that Kid-ne-oids are daily in
creasing in the opinion of our people.
Kid-ne-oids act directly upon the kid
neys and nerves and restore them to
their natural condition; Good kidneya
make good blood, good blood makes
strong nerves, Kid-ne-oids make good
kidneys and strong nerves.
Mr.. James Koba, 61O South Birch
street, Creston, Iowa, says: sI have
been troubled with my kidneys for ten
years. Sometimes the pain in the
small OF my back was SO severe that I
could hardly do my work. I was also
troubled with swelling OF the feet and
ankles and urinary troubles that were
very annoying and painful. took
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids according to di-
rections and was greatly relieved Of
all my trouble. I continued to take
them and the backache is gone, urin-
airy troubles corrected and the swelling
gone from my feet. will cheerfully
recommend Kid-ne-oids."
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills,
but Yellow Tablets, and sell at fifty
cents box at all drug stores and at
Clark & Mollison's drug store.
Mailed on receipt Of price. Manufac-
tured by John Morrow & Co., chem
