applies more particularly TO m edicine

curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it,

No other kidney remedy that know of
has so large a SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
