In speaking of his own county he says,
that, Mt one time, it was the bloodiest in
the state, but, of recent years, cigiliza-

country. By dealing with this firm
the city council will have only one

advantage over other firms Of this
SORT, Its stated that the Ir,sy
Company has just rs' ne largest
oder Tor meters-eyer placed in this
country with any meter company. In

S. Taylor of this place says:
My little boy had Dropsy. Two
doc,ors-the best in this part of the
country-told me he would never get
better, and to have seen him anyone
else would have said they were right.
His feet and limbs were swollen so
that he could not walk nor put on his
shoes.
"Wnen the doctors told me he would
surely die, l stopped giving him their
medicine and began giving MIN
Dodd's Kidney Pills. l gave him
three pills a day and at the end of
eight days the swelling was all gone,
but as wanted to be sure. l kept on
with the pills for some time, gradu-
ally reducing the quantity, till finally
l stopped altogether.
"Dodds Kidney Pills certainly saved
my child's life. Before using them he
was a helpless invalid in his mothers
arms from morning till night. Now
he is healthy. happy child, running
and dancing and singing. l can never
express our gratitude.
"Dodd's Kidney Pills entirely cured
our boy after everybody, doctors and
all, had given him up to die"
