Putnam People Can Tell You

I loan's Kidney Pills cure the cause
of disease, and that is why lire cures
are always lasting. This remedy
strengthens and tones uj> tire kidneys,
helping them to drive out of the Irody
the liquid jroisons that cause backache,
headache and distressing kidney and
urinary complaints. Putnam people
testify to permanent cures.
Mrs. Iiennis t ady, of rjs .Hchooi st.,
Putnam, Conn., says: “For three or
four years my husband had severe
pains in the small of his back whicit
prevented him from sleeping well at
night. A day or two before a storm he
always noticed that the pains were
worse, and when he caught cold the
trouble was also greatly aggrav aled.
