An Honest Opinion.

Mineral, Idaho. Oct. 16th.-(Spe-
ial.)-That a sure cure has been dis
covered for those sciatic pains that
make SO many lives miserable is the
firm opinion of Mr.. d. S. Colson, a
well-known resident of this place, and
he does not hesitate to say that cure
is Dodd's Kidney Pills. The reason
Mr.. Colson is so firm in his opinion
is that he had those terrible pains and
is cured. Speaking OF the matter he
says:
II am only too happy to say Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me lots of
good. had awful pains in my hip SO
could hardly walk. Dodd's Kidney
Pills stopped it entirely. | think they
are grand medicine"
All Sciatic and Rheumatic Pains are
caused by Uric Acid in the blood.
Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy kid
neys and healthy kidneys strain all
the Uric acid out of the blood. With
the cause removed there can be no
Rheumatism or Sciatica.
