KIDNEY TROUBLE BANISHED BV , DR. SHELDON'S GIN PILLS. "Allow me to thank you for- the complete cure and marvellous relief I have obtained by using Dr. Sheldon's Gin Pills for pains in the back and body caused by the kidneys,'* writes Mr. B. Billing, North Koad, Oamaru, N.Z. "I ■was hardly able to get about to my work, anything necessitating a stooping attitude causing me untold agony and frightful pain, which only those who have suffered can. surmise. I was at a great expense, and tried many remedies from which I got no satisfaction until I tried Dr. Sheldon's Gin Pille, ■ They gave me relief almost immediately, and continuing to use them as directed, I am pleased to be able to say that all traces of the kidney troubles have disappeared, and I can now go to my em- • ploymeait with my old confidence as I have-untold faith in the healing virtues of Dt. Sheldon's Gin Pills." Dr. Sheldon's Gin Pills act directly upon tho kidneys, cleansing these organs, and the blood of uric acid, which is the cause of rheumatism, backache, lumbago, and similar most distressing pain. All. who suffer from these complaints should give Dr. Sheldon's Gin Pills a trial, and they -will be quickly relieved. • Price, Is. fid. and 2s. 6d.~ Advt. '
