the kidneys and bladder are re-

such cases, the kidneys and blad-

must have attention.
Those torturing, enervating sick
headaches, dragging pains in back,

been demonstrated as remarkably
beneficial In all such conditions of

most prompt relief and permanent

AS an Illustration Of what these

that she Is now well-and that
these Pills are what cured her.
