I wrote you stating that I had been
entirely cured of a severe kidney
trouble by taking leis than two bot

tirely stopped the brick-dust sedi

kidney disease disappeared. I am
glad to say that I have never had a
return of any of those symptoms
during the four years that have

stay cured, and heartily recommend
