HUSBAND AND WIFE.
A Veteran of the Civil War, Tells an
Interesting story.

bingham, ILL.,, April % Especially.
-Uriah S. Andriek is now 67 years of
age. Mr.. Andrick served through the
whole of the Civil War lie was wound
ed, three times by ball, and twice by
bayonet.
When he entered the service of his
country in 1861, he was hale and
hearty, and weighed 19s pounds. Since
the close of the war, however, Mr. An
drick has had very bad health.
For fifteen years, he never lay down
in bed for over an hour at time. He
had acute Kidney Trouble, which grew
into Bright's Disease. His heart also,
troubled him very much.
On Oct. 18th, 1900, he was weighed,
and weighed only 102 pounds, being but
a shadow of his former self. He COM
menced using Dodd's Kidney Pills on
the Goth of last December, and on Feb.
goth was again weighed, and weighed
146 pounds. He says
Il have spent hundreds Of dollars
and received no benefit, until on the
goth Of December last, purchased one
box of Dodd's Kidney Pills. / am
cured, and | am free from any pain. I
have not the slightest trace of the
Bright's Disease, and | can sleep well
all night ! was considered hopeless
case by everybody, but to-day / am a
well man, thanks to Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
For the last sixteen years my wife
has been in misery with bearing down
pains, pains in the lower part Of the
abdomen and other serious ailments.
When she saw what Dodd's Kidney
Pills were doing for me she com
menced to use them. She now feels
like another woman, her pains have all
disappeared and her general health is
better than it has been for years.
"She is so taken up with Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and what they have done for
us that she has gone to Mr.. Cornwell's
Drug Store and bought them for some
of her friends for fear that if they
went themselves they might make
mistake and get something else"
There is something very convincing
in the honest simple story of this old
veteran and his wife.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are the only
Remedy that ever cured Bright's Dis
ease. Diabetes or Dropsy. They never
fail.
