the filtering right and overcome Kidney
trouble. Hundreds of Huron County
residents have found this out.
Geo. Fretwell, of Minnie and Vic-

dull, heavy pain had settled across the
•i small of my bank froze hip to hip.
d• There was a soreness and tenderness
there that would cause me to suffer
bath night and day. There w s an un-
usual scalding in passing the urine and
it was filled with sediment of a high
odor. I had used so many different
remedies and found no relief that I had
begun to think nothing would benefit
my condition. Booth's Kidney Pills
were advertised and I procured a box at
Mr, MoKibbon's Pharmacy. They did
me so mnoh good I continued the treat-
ment and the second box had entirely
cleared the urine and taken away the
scalding. My back strengthened and
the pain left it. The rheumatism with
which I have suffered tor over four
years has also been greatly relieved and
I am stronger and better than in years
