AFTER USING FIRST
BOTTLE OF
ANDES
Kidney and Bladder Disorders
Yield to It's Wonderful
Influence

Hundreds continue to flock to Cot
ters Drug Store daily to meet Mr..
Payne and his assistants ard TO learn
more of Andes, the medicine that has
set all to.i.ues wagging IN Tampa and
the surrounding towns. Among the
thousands that call every week is a
large number Of them are from the
smaller towns ana suburbs.
They come TO personally express
their gratitude FOR the good results
that Andes has given them. Among
the throng the past week was J.. y,
Jones of Henderson Beach.
He said: II have come fer one more
bottle of Andes. ! don't know as we
really need it but just feel like we
should have 1t in our home, for 1t
has done wonders for my wife who
has been a sufferer from kidney and
bladder disorders for more than five
years, and about three days each
week she would have violent head :
aches and nothing she could do would
relieve the pain. Her kidneys and
bladder has been q source of great
worry. She complained of heavy dull
aching in the small of the back just
over the kidneys. and sometimes
sharp shooting pains, ard those pains
would extend down the limbs until
they would have a numb sensation.
Her circulation must have been
poor and she did not have sufficient
amount of blood as her hands and feet
were most always cold She had no
appetite and what little she did eat
was not relished. She lost in flesh
and was in pretty bad shape. When ]
had her to begin the use of Andes.
From the first bottle she has improv-
ed rapidly Those sick nervous head
aches disappeared after she had used
the first bottle, she has now used sif
bottles and | am sure she is in as
good condition as she ever was in
her life
Her kidneys do not give her any
more trouble. The appetite has return
ed and she is gaining in flesh every
day. Her circulation is much improved
as she does not complain of those
cold numb sensations. Her color Is
good and she sleeps WELL in fact she
considers that she has entirely re-
covered. We praise Andes to all of
our friends and ] consider that II is
my duty to let other mer know that
have sick wives and need somethin"
that will actually do them good, that
they will find in Andes great tonic
