HAVE YOU GOT TROUBLES OF VOI R OWN? If not, Listen to Others’ Troubles If you have, see if Your Trouble is like Other People’s Troubles. There are some kinds of trouble that are unavoidable. Then again, there is trouble that is easily avoided if you know how to do it. Here is a true statement of Mrs, M. Langton of 2021 Hanna street, Logansport. Ind., telling of her trouble and how she got entirely over it. She says. "I am well aware every one has trouble without listening to mine, but I hope by telling mine, shall instruct others how to avoid it. For ten yearj at least I have had more ’-ruoi»' ?rfisfiim l#*ck than can well' be expressed on pap It began with kidney headache. r paid little attention to it at first, but I see now where I made the mistake. The trouble increased and urinary dis turbances followed. The urine was excessive in quantity. highly colored, of a strong odor and contained so much uric acid as to cause a burning sensation in its passage. Then I had sharp shooting pains and swelling of the limbs which became very painful. For the past five or six years several doctors have treated me for my trouble withot arresting the progress of rhe disease. They knew what the trouble was and pronounced it kidney complaint. One doctor said lie could do nothing for me and adviser! me to make my "will.” When I arrived at this stage I became very anxious and tried any and everything I could hear of. Some time ago I read about and tried Morrow’s Kid ne oids. The recommends were so high that I procured and used them strictly aefording to directions. After the first box was used I grew less nervous and I rested well at night, which is something I had not experienced for months, lam now on the third box and the help has teen so great that I am glad to continue using them, believing that I have found a genuine cure. With all indieatio _s I shall soon be well. I desire my friends to write to me and learn more about the wonderful remedy.
