ten years Mrs. Elizabeth p. Madison,
respected lady of this place, has
suffered most severely with Kidney
trouble complicated with derange-

rheumatism, another painful result
of deranged Kidneys, added its tor

Treatments and medicines without
number were tried; physicians also
exhausted their skill, but al to no
purpose.
At this stage of the case a treat

sorted to and the results were simply
miraculous, from the very first box
an improvement was noticed and the
continued treatment resulted in
complete cure.
This remarkable cure created de-

because of the complications of the
case as well as its severity and APP

Upon investigation Dodd's Kidney
