a great work In curing the more tel" I
rlbl forms of Kidney Disease , such as j
Bright's Disease , Dropsy and Diabetes , I
everybody knows. But It must also
ue noted that they are doing n still
greater work In wiping out thousands
ot cases ot the earlier stages of Kidney .

" -I have been subject to pains In my
back and knees for about three years ,
but since I have been taking Dodd's
Kidney Pills I have been entirely I , or
cured. " " / ,
Others here tell similar stories In
fact , In this part ot Missouri there are
scores at people who have cured the 1
early symptoms ot Kidney Disease
with Dodd's Kidney Pills. The use of
the Great American Kidney Remedy
thus saved Dot only the lives of Kidney .
ney Disease victims , but thousands of
