Had Craz SPELLS

West Pembroke, Ne, Sept e.
The thirteen-year-Oid daughter OF Mrs.
A L Smith suffered with a peculiar
affection which her mother describes
as follows:
1T is two years now since she was
first taken with crazy spells.
They kept on coming at intervals
and could get nothing TO do her any
good.
The doctors gave me 70 encourage
ment They all said they could not
help her.
The crazy spell would last about
nine days, then she would be well
about nine days, but would eat very
little and was very yellow. Even the
whites Of her eyes were yellow.
7 heard that Dodd-s Kidney Pills
were a great remedy for young girls
and decided to try them.
After taking one box she was com
pletely restored and she has not had
one bad spell since. OF course we con-
tinued to use the pills and she used
altogether five. boxes last fall
In March I thought I saw symp-
toms Of the spells again and got
six boxes Of which she has taken
four, and is in splendid health.
Her case was certainly a remark
able one and we are very thankful
to Dodd's Kidney Pills for the great
good they have done my daughter"
