For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke, Me-. March 21st.-
Mrs. A. L. Smith. of this place. saws
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs. Smith
emphasizes her recommendation by the
following experience:
MY daughter was thirteen years old
last November and ii is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last a week and
would then pass off. In month she
would have the spells again. At these
times she would eat very little and was
very yellow, even the whites of her
eyes would be yellow.
The doctors gave us no encoura oe-
ment; they all said they could not help
her. After taking one box of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad
spell. OF course. we continued the
treatment until she had used in all
about dozen boxes. and We still give
them to her occasionally, when she is
not feeling well. Dodd's Kidney Pills
are certainly the best medicine for
growing girls
Mothers should heed the advice Of
Mrs. Smith, for by so doing they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and ensure a healthy, happy
future for them
