In Frederick Maryland Rev W H Warner attributes relief from sciatica back pain neuraglia cramps and kidney faults to Dodd's Kidney Pills sold 50c a box.

An advertisement claims Cuticura Soap Baths provide comfort for infants and children calming eczema rashes and skin irritations and offer restful sleep.
