No agony that fall.-, to the lot of -.uttering humanity 1* (rre.iter. more terrible, nor harder to hear than Is that caused by tbe formation of a stone In i he bladder. The complaint Is so common and aa frequently spoken of that the terrih e sig- nificance of fie name lt*lf IM lost. If we were to >>peak of u "M me In the brain," or "a stone In the heart," the terrible nature of thedlHeaxe would be apparent at once, because, we ore not used to tbo expression, and IM meaning forces Itself upon us In- stitntly. Now, "a stone In the brain" would not be more out of placu than "a stone in the bladder." Nor would It cause near no much suffering, as the nerve cerure* would become paralyze*! and feeling woul j die. But Ktune In the bladder m alarmingly common. ThoinancU -ullcr the moot hor- rible torture* froiu It. Thuuiiands die from It. And yet it In very easily cured. There 1* a remedy Dodd'n Kidney I'tlls that cures it quickly, easily and 'uiinleiwly. In proof of this statement, it Is ncces- ! sary only to quote the following letter, | written by Madame Cuuipugne, of 167 M. UrLmu Straus: "I have stiff erod with stone in ihe blad- der, and though I underwent different treatments, and used various remedies, I got no relief till I took Uodd's Kidney Pills. Five Ixni-i removed the stone, built up my health, strength and flash, and mode a new woman of me. " Dodd's Kidney 1'llls are a positive care for stone In the bladder and every other form of Kidney Di^e.i-i: A The Mtlmntes of the statlstleiaa* at latter* that Mr. Kipling Is paid at the rate of a shilling a word so stirred a penay-a- liner's semt of fun with the notion of re- tail quotations for wUdom that he wrote to th author, Inclonln*; a shlllinK and ordering one word. air.
