up her philanthropic work. Severe pnlns
In her back and under hor shoulder blades
made life n burden nnd work Impossible.
Physicians wero consulted and they pro
scribed for kidney disease. Three months
treatment, however, failed to give Mrs.
Smith nny relief. Her husbnud vna much
exercised nnd enst nbout him for something
that would restore his good wife- to health
and strength. Ho heard of tho cures ef
fected by Dodd's Kidney Pills and advised
her to try them, which she did. Sho Is now
n well ,woman and says:
"Two weeks nftcr I commenced tnklng
Dodd's Kidney Pllln I felt much bettor nnd
nt tho end of seven weeks wns completely
cured, I havo had no recurrence of tho
troublo, but I tnko n pill off and on and
find that It keeps mo In good health."
