given up to die with Brlght's Disease.
Brights Disease has always been consid-
cred iucurable, but evidently from the
story told by Mr.. Gray, there is a remedy
which will cure it even in the most ad-
vanced stages. This is what he says:
Il was helpless as a little babe. My
wife and | searched everything and read
everything we could find about Bright's

A remedy that will cure Bright'H Dis
ease will cure any lesser Kidney Disease.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the
most wonderful discovery which modern
medical research has given to the world.
