to complain of pains in the back, but
now scarcely one can be found who
has any such trouble.
Mr.. Gott1ieb Mil is largely respon-

for this Backache. He has recon-
mended it to all his friends and neigh
bors, and in every case it has had
wonderful success.
MIR. Mill says
For many years had been trou-
bled with my Kidneys and pains in
the small of my back. I tried many
L edicines but did not derive any bene-
fit until last fall, when I bought a
dozen boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
After using them a few days I began
to improve, my back quit aching and
1 felt better and stronger all around

elong for in my opinion they are the
best medicine in the market to-day,
and if nay back should bother me
