Army of the Rtpubl.c have an association composed exclusively of the Presidents of the different Stat9 Associations. This Presidents’ Asso ciation chooses a President, and to this very high and distinguished position Mrs. Mary E. Poole of this place has been elected.

Mrs. Poole is never slow, to take advantage of anything that may benefit the veterans, and her zeal has resulted in much that is good to these grand old men. She wiites of her experiences: “Honor to woom honor is due, and having seen the nu merous cures effected through the usq of Dodd’s Kidney Pills, I gladly en dorse them as being particularly ef fective to cure that dreaded disease of so many of our old soldiers, Bright s Disease and Kidney Disorders of dif ferent kinds. Kidney Disease soon poisons the entire system, and as a re sult the vital organs are attacked, and I have found that no remedy so surely, completely and quickly finds the weak spot and heals it as Dodd’s Kidney Pills. “I have used them myself in slight attacks of biliousness and indigestion, and usually find that from three to four pills do the work.” Such evidence from a lady of so much distinction and exper ence should convince any sufferer from Kid ney Trouble that Dodd’s Kidney Pills is the remedy that never fails. 50c a box, six boxes for $2.50.
