Mr. C. E. Peterson, a farmer of this place says he has found such a remedy and that he has tried it with success in his own case. Mr. Peterson says the remedy is Dodd’s Kidney Pills, a medi­ cine introduced here about seven months ago. “ I am glad to be allowed to testify to what good things Dodd’s Kidney Pills have done for me. I used this remedy for Kidney trouble and it cured me completely. _ “ I can heartily recommend Dodd’s Kidney Pills to all who suffer with any kind of Kidney tionble.” Mr. Peterson’s case is only one of many jnst as convincing that have been reported recently.' This new remedy seems to have conquered Rheumatism completely, not a single case having been reported where Dodd’s Kidney Pills have failed to cure peifectly and permanently.
