with Dropsy for fifteen years. She
was SO very bad that for the last three
years she has not been able to wear
her shoes. She had doctorcd all tie

Last winter Mr. Flanagan, who was
very much discouraged. called for some
mclicinc ut MIR. j. j. Dalc's drug store

and we'll as ever she was. completely
restored TO health, and free from any

Mr. Flanagan are loud in their praises
of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and Of MIR.
