ically blind. He had been advised to 90
to the hospital at New Orleans ard was
on his way. But Joe did not reach New
Orleans. He became so much worse
after beginning his journey that the
train crew put him off at DeRidder, La.
believing that he was going to die on
the train. Mr.. A. D. Harris took him
III and advised him to take Hobo Kid
ney and Bladder Remedy. He did so
and in few weeks declared him a well
man. If you are afflicted with Kidney
or Bladder troubles. by all means ask
