the cure is Dodd's Kidney PlHs.
Hundreds of people will tell you this
of their own experience. Take j. B.
Cunningham for example. He had
Kidney Trouble of long standing. He
sought relief in vain. He bad tried
Doctors and Medicines of different
kinds.

any further. Here is what Mr. Can-
niugham says:
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are all right
for Kidney Trouble. I have used
them and know for they have done
me more good than anything I ever
used."

To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new thiiiR*
of everyday use in the market and who-
is reasonably satisfied with the old. we
would suggest that a trial of Defiance
Cold Water Starch be made at once,
j Not alone because it is guaranteed by
the manufacturers to he be superior to
auy other brand, but because each 10c
j package contains 10 ozs., while, all Gib
other kinds contain but 13 o/s. It ;
safe to say that the lady who once use*
Defiance Starch will use uo other.
