That Dodd's Kidney Pills are doing a
great work in curing the more terrible
forms of Kidney Disease. such as

work in wiping out thousands of cases
of the earlier stages of Kidney Disease
Take. for instance, Mrs. Peter Bar
teau of this place. She says:
Il have been subject TO pains in my
back and knees for about three years,
but since / have been taking Dodd's
Kidney Pills | have been entirely
cured"
Others here tell similar stories In
fact. in this part of Missouri there are
scores of people who have cured the

with Dodd's Kidney Pills. The use Of
the Great American Kidney Remedy

ney Disease victims. but thousands of
other Americans from years Of suffer
