“KING OF THEM ILL”
'An old Reliable Boston Resident Says 50. and
Tells why lie Knows It.
,1 eromete HestonPos't.)
When one has the word of a reliable-
mnn. and orong residence, in the com
munity, confidence is established, and
that once determined settles about all out
perplextties. Standing before the public
means making one-’11 self a willing target.
We know'onr standing before he public
and all it';‘irn11lics. We know that only
just such’ arrows' as the heading of illlr
article can~hit us, and we get-them every
day, and they score high. Such eulogy
varies im Value and potency according to
the source, i. ‘e., reliability.
Mr. Asa F. Cracker is an old resident
and reliable citizen of Boston, residiiig
at. 3273 \Vashington street, Jamica l’lnin.
He is a pleasant, large. heavy man—but we
will let him speak for himself. He says:
"i have been a keen sufferer from kidney
complaint for the past fifteen years. As
you see I am a heavy man, and when com-
pelled to stand for any length of time the
pain and heavy feeling over
my kidneys would become almost
unbearabl:. fixation increased my
backacne. The kidneys acted improperly,
and that added to the misery. I was in)-
pressed by an advertisement of Dean’s
Kidney Pills, and deciding to try them, I
got a box at Knight’s pharmacy, Court
and ilanover streets, and took them as
directed." He says: "They took hold
right from,,thc first. M y backache is gone,
- .the pain in the kidneys l5 gone, and they
110w act in accordance with the law» of
health, and to sum it all up is it any 11'ou~
der I haw: so much confidence in Dean’s
Kidney Pills? I think not." “'1: certain-
ly can aluutl before the public when such
testimony of cures comes to us from every
direction every day.
