About four years ago one side of my abdomen began to enlarge from a growth inside. It grew to such proportions that it seemed to fill up the abdomen. Then dropsy began and swelled both legs and stomach to twice their normal size. The doctors called the trouble enlargement of the spleen, and told me I must die. I was removed from the hospital and sent for Dr. J. H. McLean’s Liver and Kidney Balm. I took seven bottles and continually gained and am well in every way now. The dropsy entirely disappeared and left the growth very small. Michael O'Neil. For sale by Holthous, Callow & Co. n
