Mr.. AIbee's Opinion.

Alpine, Cal, June 6.-Mr. T. M. AL
bee, our postmaster, has expressed an
opinion based on his own experience
which will no doubt be of interest to
many. Mr. Albee is a man of few
words, but his well known truthful
ness and uprightness of character
adds much weight to any statement
he makes. He says:
"The first box of Dodd's Kidney Pills
that l used convinced me of their
good qualities and l used altogether
four boxes with the very best results.
1 can heartily recommend this rem
edy."
This voluntary expression of opin-
ion will doubtless find an echo in
many homes in California for Dodd'S
Kidney Pills have been making some
miraculous cures in this state.
From the evidence already publish
ed 1t seems safe to conclude that this
medicine will be found to be a per-
feet cure for rheumatism, urinary
trouble, backache and any and every
form or symptom of kidney complaint.
