Saved His Life.

Whitehall, H., June Sth.-Mr Lon Man ley had Brght's Disease and after his home doctor had treated him for sometime he finally told him that he could do nothing more for him, and that he would surely die.
 A friend who had heard of what Dodd' s Kidney Pills had done in cases of Kidney Trouble, advised Mir Manley to try treatment of this remedy.
 He did so and everyone was surprised and delighted to see an Improvement in very short time. This improvement gradually kept on as the treatment proceeded, till now Mir Manley is well. He says:
 "The doctor said he had done all he could for me. He gave me up. A friend advised me to take Dodd's Kidney Pills, and in a few weeks l was nearly all right again
 ''I am not dead and can truthfully say that l feel better today than l have for years. Dodd's Kidney Pills are a wonder ful remedy and l will always praise them and recommend them to everyone suffering as did
 Mr Manleys recovery has caused a pro- found sensation, as no one ever thought he would recover.
