aroused considerable interest in this
locality. 1t is best given in his own
words:

dollars to get to sit down.

without strength is not much use.
"But bless the Lord took four boxes
of Dodd's Kidney Pills and they gave
me health strength and appetite.

Dodd's Kidney Pills have effected
quite a number of other cures here and
it seems safe to say they are an effec-
tive and permanent cure for all dis
eases arising from the Kidneys.

$4,000. Secretary Seward offered $1,0OOO o.
which was declined. He afterwards
