A Farmer Found IL.

Mount Pleasant, Utah, May 23.-To
find q medicine that will cure every
ailment due to diseased or disordered
Kidneys has been the aim Of many
physicians and chemists
Mr.. G.. r. Peterson, a farmer Of this
place, says he has found such a rem
edy and that he has tried 1t with sue
cess in his own case. Mr.. Peterson
says the remedy is Dodd's Kidney
Pills, a medicine introduced here about
seven months ago.
IL am glad to be allowed to testify
to what good things Dodd's Kidney
Fills have done for me. / used this
remedy for Kidney trouble and 1T cured
me completely.
II can heartily recommend Dodd's
Kidney Pills to all who suffer with
any kind of Kidney trouble"
Mr.. Peterson's case Is only one OF
many just as convincing that have
been reported recently. This new rem
edy seems to have conquered Rheuma-
tism completely, not a single case hav-
ing been reported where Dodd's Kid
ney Pills have failed to cure perfectly
and permanently.
