Aldrich, No.. May 27.-Four of the
best doctors in the vicinity have been
in attendance on Mrs. Mollie Moore, of
this place, who has been suffering with
q very severe case of Nervousness and
Kidney Disease. Each Of them told her
that she would die.
Hearing of Dodd's Kidney Pills, she
began to use them, and instantly no
ticed a change for the better. Her i'm.
provement has been continuous since
then. She says that the disease first
manifested itself by the appearances
of dark spots floating before her eyes.
Her nerves were so bad that many
times they would collapse completely,
and she would fall down as if shot.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills
saved her after four doctors had given
her up, has caused no end of talk in this
neighborhood, and all are loud in their
praises of this new remedy-Dodd's
Kidney Pills--which is curing so many
hitherto incurable cases, in this state
and elsewhere.

And watch the golden sun.

"A hurricane will blow
And cast our petals far and wide
Upon the earth below"

And Ger the primrose bed"

And bent its lovely head to meet
The summer nights repose.
