Six Doctors Failed,

South Bend, Ind, Oct "a (SpeclaD
After suffering from Kidney Disease
for three years; after taking treat.
ment from six different doctors with.

OF this place found not only relief but
a speedy and complete cure in Dodd's
Kidney Pills. Speaking of his cure
Mr.. Laudeman says:
"Yes, suffered from Kidney
Trouble for three years and tried six
doctors to no good. Then / took Just
two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and
they not only cured my kidneys, but
gave me better health in general. or
course | recommended Dodd's Kidney
Pills to others and | know a number
now who are using them with good re-
suits"
Mr.. Laudeman's case Is not an ex-
ception. Thousands give similar ex.
periences. For there never yet was a
case of Kidney Trouble from Backache

ney Pills could not cure. They are
