Northport, Mich. Dec o.--Thc med
Teal men are just now eagerly dis
cussing n most remarkable cure Of a
severe case of Kidney Disease In this
county. Mr.. Byron q. Leslie, Of
Northport, has for years been VIC
tim of Kidney arrangements with all
the consequent pain and annoyance.
He was gradually growing worse and
as the disease advanced he became
very Respondent, often wondering II
he woEld have TO endure this suffer
ing all his lifetime.
But at last he found n remedy that
cured him in Dodd's Kidney Pills. He
was much pleased, but did not say
much about It lest the good effect he
experienced would not last. Now,
however, after months OF continued
good health he has concluded that he
is permanently cured, and his hu-
nouneemcnt Of this has caused pro-
found sensation among the physl-
clans and the people who knew Of his
apparently hopeless condition.
