Jetmore, Kans., July 1st.-Mrs. Anna
Jones Freeman, daughter Of Mr.. G. g..
Jones of Burdett, and one Of the most
popular ladies in Hodgeman County has
been a martyr to headache for years. 1t
has made her life continual misery to
her. She suffered pains in the small Of
the back, and had every symptom Of
Kidney and Urinary Trouble.
To-day she is well as any lady in the
state.
This remarkable change was due en-
tirely to a remedy recently introduced
here. 1t is called Dodd's kidney Pills,
and many people claim it to be an in
fall!ble cure for Kidney Diseases,
Rheumatism and Heart Trouble.
Mrs. Freeman heard Of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, and almost with the first
dose, she grew better. In week, her
head aches and other pains had gone,
and she had left behind her all her ILL
ness and days OF misery.
A medicine that can do for any one
what Dodds Kidney Pills have done
for this lady Is very soon to be univer-
sally used, and already the demand for
these pills has increased wonderfully
in Pawnee and Hodgeman Counties,
where the particulars of Mrs. Free
mans case and its cure are known.
