had been cured by remedy called
Dodds Kidney Pills. and Mrs. Chalker
thought she would try the same thing.
After the FIRST two boxes had been
taken according 10 directions, she be-
gan 20 feel some better. and she kept
on ill at last she was cured.
Her pains are all gone. and she Is
very grateful. She says. "DOdd's
