Its Use for Kidneys. Jesup, Ga., May 26, 1887. I have been suffering from kidney di- j sease for a month past, and the pain in my back was very severe. My occu pation requires a good deal of writing at night and I suffered all the time. 1 saw one man who said he was cured by using Botanic Blood Balm, (B. B. B.) and I commenced using it, and the pain is a great deal less. I have used two bottles and believe it will effect a cure by the use of a few more bottles. Yours respectfully, J. E. Coleman.
