years l felt kidney complaint creeping
on me, and about three years ago the
complaint became very noticeable.
The kidney secretions were so frequent
in action that l had to get out of bed
six or seven times at night, and on this
account could not rest well. AS a re-
suit grew weak and all rundown.
Though tried several remedies did
not find find relief until at last pro-

Went at once to the root of my trouble,
and by the time had used two boxes
| was rid of the kidney difficulty. My
