Mrs. Garrett suffered with n Cere-

without the slightest Improvement.
For the last twelve months two
doctors were In constant attendance.
but she could only grow worse and
worse. TIL she could not walk. and
did not have any power to move at
all.
She was so low that for the great.
or part OF the time she was perfectly
unconscious OF what was going on
about her, and her heart-broken hus-
band and friends were hourly ex-
pecting her death.
The doctors had given up all hope
and no one thought she could pos
sibly live.
In this extremity Mr.. Garrett sent
for a box OF Dodd's Kidney Pills. II
was last hope. but happily Il did
not fail
Mrs. Garrett used In all six boxes
of the remedy. and Is completely
cured. She says:
