Hoxie, corner F and Sec ond streets, Medford, Or., says: "I had kidney trouble for sevoml years, the disease gradually becoming more serious until my general health was much run down. My bnck ached a great deal and if I attempted to stoop or lift I suffered severely. T had headaches and would be lame and stiff, upon aria ing in the morning, t began using Dunn's Kidney Pills, wfcich I procured at Haskin'a drddug store, and in a short time the trouble vanished. I am now entirely well anl owe the great change to Doau's Kidney Pills." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. V., solo agents for tho United States.
