q wonderfIIl Pill

Freedom. Mo, Nov. 3d.-A splendid
remedy mas recently been introduced
in this neighborhood. 1t is called
Dodd's Kidney Pills and it has cured
Rheumatism right and left. On every
hand may be heard stories of the re-
markable recoveTies and from what
has been stated already there seems
to he no case of rheumatism that
Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure.
One of those who has already tested
the virtue of Dodd's Kidney Pills is
Katie Anderson of this place, who
says:
Il cant say enough for Dodd's Kid
ney pills They have helped me SO
much | suffered very severely with
rheumatism. Five boxes cured me
completely. They are certainly the
most wonderful medicine | have ever
used"
Usage county abounds in Just such
cases and if the good work keeps on
there will soon be no rheumatism left
in this part of the state.
