arriving at a Verdict.

Kushequa, Pa, July 10.-(Speclal)-
In this section of Pennsylvania there
is a growing belief that for such Kid
ney Diseases as Rheumatism and
Lame Back there is only one sure
cure and that is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
This belief grows from such cases as
that of Mrs. NJ. l.. Dawson Of this
place She tells the story herself as
follows:
Il have suffered from Rheumatism
for thirty years and find that Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me more good
than any medicine have ever taken.
was also bothered with Lame Back
and can only say that my back hasn't
bothered me since took Dodd's Kid
ney Pills"
Considering that Mrs. Dawson only
took two boxes Of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
the result would be considered wonder
full II Il were not that others are re-
porting similar results daily. Kushe
qua is fast arriving at a verdict that
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are the one sure
cure for Rheumatism"
