it and building a house on It.

—After suffering for years with pain
In the back Mr. J. M. Coleman, a well
known citizen of this place, has found
a complete cure In Dodd's Kidney
Pills. Knowing how general this dis-
ease is all over the country, Mr. Cole-
man feels it is his duty to make his
experience public for the benefit of
other sufferers.
“I want to recommend Dodd's Kid.
ney Pills to everybody who has pain
in the back," Mr. Coleman says. “I
suffered for years with my back. I
used Dodd’s Kidney Pills and 1 have
not felt a pain since. My little girl
too complained of her back and she
used about half a box of Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills and she Is sound and well.”
