The United Kingdom has colonies
and possessions whose area is equal
to more than twenty-seven times her
own size.
Among the ruins of Pompeii have
been found chafing dishes of exquisite
workmanship, which give undisputed
proof of their use in the city, which
contained villas, of many wealthy Ho
mans.
Northern Indiana farmers are ex
perimenting in the domestication of
quail. During the winter the birds are
fed regularly, and on some of the farms
they have become so tame that they
roost with the barnyard fowls.
The watchfulness of members of con
gress is not always rewarded in a way
anticipated. Two resolutions recently
offered in the house requested the pres
ident to return to that body two pri
vate pension bills. A member of in
quiring mind wished to know what
was the defect in the bills. “There is
no defect,” was the reply. “The bene
ficiaries are dead."
Quite as remarkable as the wrecking
of the Pacific Mail line steamship Hio
de Janeiro just at the entrance to San
Francisco harbor on Feb. 22 is the to
tal disappearance of the wreck. Divers
have explored large areas of the bot
tom of the sea at the point where the
wreck is supposed to have occurred,
but not the slightest trace of the ill
fated ship has been found.
One of the most prominent Baptist
preachers in the vicinity of New York 1
ha3 made it a practice in all his pas- j
torates to write his resignation within 1
a week of his entrance upon a new
field, sign, seal and deliver it to the 1
proper official with the remark: I
"There, now! Never ask mo for my 1
resignation. Whenever you want me |
to go just break open the envelope, i
write in a date to the document and
offer it to the congregation."
The recent appointment of General ;
Chaffee as major-general is the first '
instance of a private attaining that
rank in the regular army of the Unit- j
ed States. "I should know that Chaf- 1
fee was not educated at West Point,” !
commented a military visitor at the 1
review of American troops in China 1
last summer. "He is so unused to full- 1
dress uniform that he has his sash over [
the wrong shoulder." It was true, J
and all the more honor to him for his :
success.
A recent Importation of foreigners
against which no one will be likely to
take exceptions, except, perhaps, the
natives they have come to destroy, has 1
been graciously received and welcomed ;
by the quarantine officer of the Cali- 1
tornia State Board of Agriculture at
San Francisco. The newcomers are a
consignment of taehina flies from
the grasshopper tribe—their wholesale
exterminators, in fact, wherever found. j
They came as cold storage passengers
and with them came a large number of
ladybugs, for service in clearing the
orchards of red scale—the pest of fruit
growers. The flies are to be released
in May. They will make short work
of the grasshoppers, which swarm at
that time.
A college professor, reading Ix>rd
Rayleigh's “Theory of Sound” a few
years ago, became particularly inter
ested in that part which relates to the
vibration of cords. He began to study
the waves which travel along a cord
when one end is shaken, and then to
experiment with cords loaded at in
tervals with weights, and vibrating in
iir or water. What could he hope to
learn from such investigations? What
practical results were to be looked for?
He could not tell, nor could any one j
else have told. Yet he studied the sub
ject for five years. The facts he dis- 1
covered make it probable that tele- '
phone communication may take place
under three thousand miles of sea, and
the professor has sold his invention for
half a million dollars.
The German army has furnished an- '
other terrible illustration of what duel- j
ing means. An infantry captain pres
ent at an officer’s dinner took offense
at the innocent but rough horse-play
of an army surgeon, and struck him.
He then retired to his quarters. In a
iittle while two officers representing
the surgeon appeared with a challenge.
Before they could deliver it a brother
of the surgeon entered and shot the
captain dead. His excuse was that he
sacrificed himself to save his brother,
the surgeon, who had a wife and chil
dren, and could hardly hope to sur
vive a duel with the offended captain.
a noted pistol-shot. Such an incident
must come home with peculiar force
to the emperor, who has frankly com
mended dueling in the army as the
proper way for a soldier to protect his
“honor.”
The name of Sing Sing, so far as
the New York village is concerned, is
no more, having been changed to
Oslning. Manufacturers brought about
this change, the impression having
gone abroad that all goods turned out
in the village were prison-made. The
village showed a decrease in the last
census of 1,313 in population, though
neighboring places showed uniform in
crease. Sing Sing was incorporated
in 1813 and the prison was erected
eleven years later. The prison is still
within the village boundary lines. ,

“Mow I* Clirlat RI»on from the t>rHd
and Heroine the Flret Fruit* of Them
That Slept”—Flr»t Hook Corinthian*,
Chapter Twenty-Five, Twentieth Veree
{Copyright, 1!XU, by f.ouis Klopsch, N. Y.)
Washington, April 7.—The great
Christian festival celebrated in all the |
churches is the theme of Dr. Taliuage's i
discourse; I Corinthians xv, 20, “Now
ia Christ risen from the dead and be
come the first fruits of them that
slept.”
On this glorious Easter morning,
amid the music and the flowers, I
give you Christian salutation. This
morning, Russian meeting Russian on
the streets of St. Petersburg hails him
with the salutation, "Christ ia risen!”
and is answered by his friend in salu
tation, “He is risen indeed!” In some
parts of EnglaniFand Ireland to this
very day there is the superstition that
on Easter morning the sun dances in
the heavens. And well may we forgive
such a superstition, which illustrates
the fact that the natural world seems
to sympathize with the spiritual.
Hall, Easter morning! Flowers!
Flowers! All of them a-voice, all of
them a-tongue, all of them full of
speech to-day. I bend over one of the
lilies, and I hear it say, “Consider the
lilies of the field, how they grow; they
toil not, neither do they spin, yet Sol
omon in all his glory was not arrayed
like one of these.’’ 1 bend over a rose
and it seems to whisper, “I am the
rose of Sharon." And then I stand
and listen. From all sides there comes
the chorus or flowers, saying, If God
so clothed the grass of the field which
to-day is and to-morrow is cast into
the oven, shall he not much more
clothe you, O ye of little faith?”
Flowers! Flowers! Braid them in
to the bride's hair. Flowers! Flow
ers! Strew them over the graves of the
dead, sweet prophecy of the resurrec
tion. Flowers! Flowers! Twist them
Into a garland for my Lord Jesu9 on
Easter morning, and "Glory be to the
Father, and to the Sou, and to the
Holy Ghost ;as it was in the begin
ning, is now and ever shall be.” The
women came to the Saviour's tomb,
and they dropped spices all around
the tomb, and those spices were the
seed that began to grow, and from
them came all the flowers of this East
er morn. The two angels robed in
white took hold of the stone at the
Saviour’s tomb, and they hurled it
with such force down the hill that it
crushed in the door of the world's
sepulchre and the stark and the dead
must come forth.
TP© World'* Croit Coiifiupror*,
If I should come to you and ask you
for the names of the great conquerors
of the world you would say Alexander,
Caesar, Philip. Napoleon I. Ah, you
have forgotten to mention the name
of a greater conqueror than all these
a cruel, a ghastly conqueror. He '
rode on a black horse across Waterloo
and Chalons and Atlanta, the bloody
hoofs crushing the hearts of nations.
It is the conqueror Death. He carries
a black flag and he takes no prisoners.
He digs a trench across the hemls- i
pheres and fills it with the carcasses
of nations. Fifty times would the
world have been depopulated had not
God kept making new generations.
Fifty times the world would have I
swung lifeless through the air—no man ,
on the mountain, no man on the sea, I
an abandoned ship plowing through
Immensity. Again and again has he
done this work with all generations, j
He is a monarch as well as a conquer- '
or; his palace a sepulcher; his foun- j
tains the falling tears of a world. !
Blessed be God! In the light of this
Easter morning I see the prophecy
that his scepter shall be broken, and
his palace shall be demolished. The
hour is coming when all who are In
their graves shall come forth. Christ
risen, we shall rise. Jesus, "the first
fruits of them that slept.”
Now, around this doctrine of the res
urrection there are a great many mys
teries. You come to me and say. If
the bodies of the dead are to be raised,
how is this and how is that? And
you ask me a thousand questions I am
Incompetent to answer. But there are
a great many things you believe that
you are not able to explain. You
would be a very foolish man to say,
‘‘I don't believe anything I can't un
derstand.” Why, putting down one
kind of flower seed, '’omes there up
this flower of this color? Why, put
ting down another flower seed, comes
there up a flower of this color? One
flower white, another flower yellow, an
other flower crimson. Why the differ
ence when the seeds look to he very
much alike are very much alike? Ex
plain these things. Explain that wart on
the finger. Explain the difference why
the oak leaf is different from the leaf
of the hickory. Tell me how the Lord
Almighty can turn the chariot of his
omnipotence on a rose leaf. You ask
me questions about the resurrection I
cannot answer. I will ask you a thou
sand questions about everyday life you
cannot answer.
Slifnlfteance of a (treat Sound.
| You havo noticed, I suppose, In read
ing the story of the resurrection that
almost every account of the Bible gives
the idea that the characteristic of that
day will bo a great sound. I do not
know that it will he very loud, bu:
I know it will he very penetrating. In
the mausoleum where silence lias
reigned a thousand years that voice
must penetrate. In the coral cave of
the deep that voice must penetrate.
Millions of spirits will come through
the gates of eternity, and they will
come to the tomb, of the earth, an !
they will cry, "Give us back cur bod
ies; we gave them to you in corrup
tion; surrender them now in ineor
ruption." Hundreds of spirits hover
ing about the Helds of Gettysburg, for
there the bodies are buried. A hun
dred thousand spirits roming to Green
wood, for there the bodies are buried,
waiting for the reunion of body and
soul.
All along tlie sea route from New
York to Liverpool, at every few’ miles
where a steamer went down, departed
spirits coming back, hovering over thd
wave. There is where the City of Bos
ton perished. Found at last. There is
where the President perished. Steam
er found at last. There is where the
Central America went down. Spirits
hovering, hundreds of spirits,hovering
waiting for the reunion of body and
soul. Out on the prairie a spirit
alights. There is where a traveler
died in the snow. Crash goes West
minster abbey, and the poets and the
orators come forth; wonderful ming
ling of good and bad. Crash go the
pyramids of Egypt, and the monarchs
come forth.
The Imniortul Hotly.
“But," you say, “if this doctrine of
the resurrection is true, as prefigured
by this Easter morning, can you tell
us something about the resurrected
body?" I can. There are mysteries
about that, but I shall tell you three
or four things in regard to the resur
rected body that are beyond guessing
and beyond mistake.
In the first place, I remark in regard
to your resurrected body, it will be a
glorious body. The body we have now
is a mere skeleton of what it would
have been if sin had not marred and
defaced it. Take the most exquisite
statue that was ever made by an artist
and chip it here and chip it there with
a chisel and batter and bruise it here
and there and then stand it out in the
storms of a hundred years, and the
beauty would be gone. Well, the hu
man body has been chipped and bat
tered and bruised and damaged with
the storms of thousands of years—the
physical defects of other generations
coming down from generation to gen
eration, we inheriting the infelicities
of past generations. But in the morn
ing of the resurrection the body will
be adorned and beautified according to
the original model. And there is no J
such difference between a gymnast and
an emaciated wretch in a lazaretto as
there will be a differenec between our i
bodies as they are now and our resur- ;
rected forms. There you will see the
perfect eye after the waters of death j
have washed out the stains of tears ;
and study. There you will see the per
feet hand after the knots of toil have
been untied from the knuckles. There
you will see the form erect and elastic
after the burdens have gone off the
shoulder—the very life of GocJ lq the
body. In this world the most impres
sive thing, the most expressive thing,
is the human face, but that face Is veil- ,
ed with the griefs of a thousand years, j
But in the resurrection morn that veil j
will be taken away from the face, and 1
the noonday sun is dull and dim and
stupid compared with the outflaming
glories of the countenances of the j
saved. When those faces of the right- j
eous, those resurrected faces, turn to- !
ward the gate, or look up toward the
throne, it will be like the dawning of
a new morning on the bosom of ever
lasting day. O glorious, resurrected
body!
But I remark, also, in regard to that
body which you are to get in the res
urrection, it will be an important body.
These bodies are wasting away. Some
body has said that as soon as we begin
to live we begin to die. Unless we
keep putting the fuel into the furnace '
the furnace dies out. The blood ves
sels are canals taking the breadstuffs
to all parts of the system. We must
be reconstructed hour by hour, day by
day. Sickness and death are at all
times trying to get their pry under the
tenement or to push us off the embank- ;
ment of the grave. But, blessed be j
God, in the resurrection we will get a
body immortal. No malaria in the air, I
no cough, no neuralgic twinge, no
rheumatic pang, no fluttering of the
heart, no shortness of breath, no am- j
bulance, no dispensary, no hospital, no
invalid's chair, no spectacles to im
prove the dim vision, but health, im
mortal health! O ye who have aches
and pains indescribable this morning,
ye who are never well, ye who are lac
erated with physical distress, let me
tell you of the resurrected body, free
from all disease. Immortal! Immortal! j
Id Heaven.
Plenty of occupation in heaven. I :
suppose Broadway, New York, In the j
busiest season of the year at noonday
is not so busy as heaven is all the time.
Grand projects of mercy for other
worlds. Victories to be celebrated.
The downfall of despotism on earth to
be announced. Great songs to be learn
ed and sung. Great expeditions on
which God shall send forth his child
ren. Plenty to do, but no fatigue. If you
are seated under the trees of life, it '
will not be to rest, but to talk over |
with some old comrade old times—the j
battles where you fought shoulder to ;
shoulder.
Sometimes In this world we feel we ■
would like to have such a body as
that. There is so much work to be
done for Christ, there are so many
tears to he wiped away, there are so \
many burdens to life, there is so much
to be achieved for Christ, we some
times wish that from the first of Janu
ary to the last of December we could I
toil on without stopping to sleep or I
to take any recreation or to rest or j
even to take food—that we could toU |
right on without stopping a moment
in our work of commending Christ and j
heaven to all the "people. But we all
get tired. It is a characteristic of the ,
human body jn this condition; we must
get tired. Is it not a glorious thought
that we are going to have a body that
will never grow weary? O glorious ■
resurrection day! Gladly will I fling |
aside this poor body of sin and fling
It into the tomb if at thy bidding I
shall have a body that never wearies.
That is a splendid resurrection hymn
that we have all sung:
So Jesus slept. God's dying Son
Passed through the grave and bless
ed the bed.
Rest here, blest saint, till from his
throne
The morning breaks to pierce the
shade.
The KUen Savior.
0 blessed resurrection! Speak out,
sweet flowers, beautiful flowers! While
you tell of a risen Christ tell of the
righteous who shall rise. May God fill
you this morning with anticipation!
1 heard of a father and son who
among others were shipwrecked at sea.
The father and son climbed into the
rigging. The father held on, hut the
son after awhile lost his hold on the
rigging and was dashed down. Ihe
father supposed he had gone hupeless
ly under the wave. The next day the
father was brought ashore from the
rigging in an exhausted state and laid
on a bed in a fisherman's hut, and after
many hours had passed he came to
consciousness and saw lying beside
him on the same bed his boy. Oh, my
friends, what a glorious thing it will
be if we wake up at last to find our
loved ones beside us, coming up from
the same plot in the graveyard, coming
up in the same morning light—the
father and son alive forever, all the
loved ones alive forever, never more
to weep, never more to part, never
more to die.
May the God of peace that brought
again from the dead our Ixird Jesus,
that great Shepherd of the sheep,
through the blood of the everlasting
covenant make you perfect in every
good work, to do his will, and let the
associations of this morning transport
our thoughts to the grander assem
blage before the throne. The one hun
dred and forty and four thousand and
the "great multitude that no man can
number,” some of our best friends
among them, we after awhile to Join
the multitude. Glorious anticipation!
Blest are the saints beloved of God;
Washed are their robes in Jesus' blood.
Brighter than angels, lo, they shine,
their wonders splendid and sublime.
My soul anticipates the day,
Would stretch her wings and soar |
away
To aid the song, the palm to bear,
And bow, the chief of sinners, there.
CURIOUS IDEAS OF CHINESE.
Be.let That Hen sliouM Not Kot> An
tiual* of Milk.
A curious system of philosophy re- j
garding eating is evolved by some per
sons, but the queerest “anti-pr6nuncla- j
mento in some time is that published
in the Loa Chow Herald regarding the |
use by man of animal's milk. The eru
dite Chinese who edit this journal of
the twentieth century publish a proc
lamation which says: "Man should
not rob animals of their own proper
food; and, of all animals, the cow is
the most valuable to man. The sel
lers of milk blacken their souls for
gain; but those who drink milk do so
in the foolish belief that it is good for
them. Before taking any medicine, we
should carefully investigate its proper
ties, and who does so with milk?
Milk is the natural food for babes 1
and of young animals; but when adults
drink it. do they not thereby endanger
the life of the suckling calf, and arouse
bitter resentment in the souls of the
calf and its mother? Beasts have not
the power of speech, and so cannot
tell men that by drinking cow's milk
they will become like quadrupeds. If
men must have a strengthening
draught, there are a thousand better
things than milk, so why sleet that?
Besides, the term of life is foreordain
ed and it cannot be prolonged by
drinking milk. Everyone who reads
this warning is especially enjoined to
abstain from milk in the future. Child- 1
ren whose parents will not allow them
to drink milk will not be stunted in
growth, but they will have their lives
prolonged and be immune in epidemics.
So it is proclaimed in the Hall of
Good Counsel.”
Fan Ra«l Put ho* of Ring Sing:*
Of all griefs, probably those are the '
hardest to bear which, while real and
serious to the people who suffer them,
are of a kind to excite unsympathetic
smiles in everybody else. So it is no
wonder that the residents of Sing Sing
are eager to change the picturesque
name of their village. They know per
fectly well that to the outside world
Sing Sing means a big prison, and they
have wearied of the jests to which tho
identification of the title and the insti
tution exposes them. So they want to
say that they live in Ossining instead
of In Sing Sing, and the desire is nat
ural enough. But, unfortunately, it
is also funny and possibly It would be
wiser to endure their present ill than
to bring their sensitiveness to general
attention by taking action for relief.
And how long would it be, moreover, 1
before the prison association fastened
itself upon Ossining? What Sing Sing
wants to do is to grow’ so big that It
can win recognition for itself. Thera
is no other cure for its woes, but a
cultivation of a philosophical indif
ference will do much to mitigate them, I
as it will for most other woes.—New
Yoik Times.

13. And behold, two of them went that
very day to a village named Kmmaua,
which was threescore furlongs from Je
rusalem.
14. And they communed with eaeh
other of all these t hlngs which had
happened.
15. .e-nd It came to pass, while they
communed and questioned together, that
Jesus himself drew near, and went with
them.
16. But tlielr eyes were holden that
they should not know him.
17. And he said unto them, What com
munications are these that ye have one
with another, as ye walk? And they
stood still, looking sad.
IS. And one of them, named Cleopas,
answering said unto him. Dost thou alone
sojourn In Jerusalem and not know the
things which are come to pass there in
these days?
19. And he said unto them. What
things? And they said unto him, Jesus
of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty
In deed and word before God and ull the
people:
20. And how the chief priests and our
rulers delivered him to be condemned to
death, and crucified him.
21. But we hoped that It was he which
should redeem Israel. Yea and beside all
this, it Is now th- third day since these
things came to pass.
22. Yea, and certain women of our com
pany amazed u.-, having been early at the
sepulcher; *
23. And when they found not his body,
they came, saying that they had also
seen a vision of angels, which said that
he was alive.
24. And certain ot them which were
with us went to the sepulcher, and found
it even so as the women hail said; but
him they saw not.
23. And he said unto them, O foolish
men, and slow of heart to believe all that
the prophets have spoken;
26. Behooved it not the Christ to suffer
these things, and to enter Into his glory?
27. And beginning from Moses and from
all the prophets, he interpreted to them
in all the scriptures the things concern
ing himself.
28. And they drew, nigh unto the vil
lage. whither they went; and he made as
though he would have gone further.
29. But they constrained him, saying,
Abide with us; for It Is toward evening,
and the day is now far spent. And he
went in to tarry with them.
39. And it came to pass, when he had
sat at meat with them, he took the
bread, and blessed It, and brake, and
gave to them.
31. And tlielr eyes were opened, and
they knew him; and he vanished out of
their sight.
32. And they said one to another, Was
not our heart burning within us, while
he talked with us by the way, while he
opened to us the scriptures?
33. And they rose up the same hour,
and returned to Jerusalem, and found the
eleven gathered together, and them that
were with them.
34. Saying, the Lord Is risen Indeed, and
hath appeared to Simon.
35. And they told what things were

Any one can easily know enough of the
Scriptures to see the way to heaven, and
to be guided safely through life, as a
child may know enough of nature for the
ordinary purposes of living. Yet, as in
God's works of nature there are untold
treasures, and all that even modern ali
enee has gained Is but a little spray from
the great ocean, a small sheaf from the
boundless harvest of good things God
has laid up for man's blessing, so there
are yet untold ttreasures in the Word of
God. We are like children who, having
lenrned to read and spell. Imagine that
we have some conception of the vast and
glorious literature Into which the simple
letters of the ulphahet can be formed.
We can often see a thing very clearly
after It Is pointed out to us, which yet
entirely escaped our notice before. We
have seen those puzzle pictures In which
various forms of persons or animals are
outlined by the trees and branches.
Sometimes they are very hard to discover
till pointed out, but once seen, they are
plain at every glance thereafter. A pic
ture explained by an artist has been a
new picture ever since, though we have
seen it many times. A fact of nature
pointed out by a scientist has Illumined
some portions of Ood'« works which were
unknown before. Ruskin's fifth volume
of "Modern Painters” has opened the
eyes of many to see in clouds and trees
and leaves a multitude of things which
were unseen, though plain before the
eyes. The same is true of many of the
best books.
There are promises In God's Word that
no man has ever tried to find. There are
treasures of gold and silver In It that no
man has taken the pains to dig for.
There are medicines in it for the want
of a knowledge of which hundreds have
died. It seems to me like some old baro
nial estate that has descended to a man
who lives In a modern house and thinks
it scarcely worth while to go and look
Into the venerable mansion. Year after
year passes away, and he pays no at
tention to It, since he lias no suspicion of
the valuable treasures It contains, till at
last some man says to him, "Have you
been up In the country to look at that
estate?” He makes up his mind that he
will lake a look at It. As he goes
through the porch he Is surprised to gee
the skill that has been displayed In Its
consli uction; he Is more and more Im
pressed as he goes through the halls.
He enters a large room, and is aston
ished as he beholds the wealth of pic
tures upon the walls, among which are
portraits of many of his revered ances
tors. He stands In amazement before
them. There Is a Titian, there Is a Ra
phael, there Is a Correggio, and there Is
a Giorgione. He says. “I never had any
any Idea of these before.” ”Ah!” says [
the steward, “there Is many another
thing that you know nothing about In |
this castle;" and he takes him from room l
to room, and shows him carved plate and
wonderful statues, and the man exclaims,
“Here I have been for a score of years
the owner of this estate, and have never
before known what things were in It!"
Recalled Incident* of 1812.
Captain Thomas Sherman of Chel
sea, Mass, who died the other day,
was able to recall Incidents connected
with the embargo of shipping during
the war of 1812. He was fond of tell
ing of his personal intimacy with Dan
iel Webster and of his frequent con
vivial meetings with that statesman.
Mr. Sherman led a moderate life, but
always claimed that his good health
and longevity were due to a reasonable
use of alcoholic liquors. A son Dr.
James Sherman, aged 70, survives him. I

Five years ago one florist in Rroad

over $100,000 worth of flowers. Fifty

ly the entire cut flower business in the

Won HU Qurer Wager.
An Englishman made a wager that
he could cook a plum pudding, ten
feet beneath the surface of the
Thames, and won the bet by placing
the pudding in a tin case and putting
the whole in a sack of lime. The heat
of the lime, slaking when it came in
■ contact with the water was sufficient
to cook tho pudding in two hours.

Tale of Buffering.

—Mrs. Samuel G. Dyer of this place
has given the following interesting let
ter for publication:
"For years I suffered Intense pain in
the region of the heart. I doctored
with the best physicians. Some of them
would relieve me for a short time, but
the pain always returned. My heart
was so bad that I would have to sit up
in bed for hours, to get relief. I would
lie awake nlmost all night. 1 am 02
years of age, and no one can under
stand how much I suffered with this
Heart Trouble.
"About a year ago I heard of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and commenced to use
them. From the first my condition
improved. The pain in my heart grad
ually grew less, and my general health
much better, aud now I can say posi
tively that I am entirely cured. I can
sleep all night, and enjoy almost per
fect health. 1 thank God for the cure
that has come to me through the use
of Dodd’s Kidney Pills. ,
"I have thought long over the matter
of giving this letter for publication,
and am doing so now without any so
licitation whatever, and simply be
cause 1 feel it to be my duty to express
the profound gratitude I feel for my
recovery, and to let others who giay ba
suffering as J was kuow how they ma/
find a efire. I know that nothing else
but Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me, be
cause I have taken no other medicine
for over a year. I feel better now
than I have for many years, and it is
all due to the use of Dodd's Kidney
Pills,” -■ j
Mrs. Dyer’s ease and Its cure has at
tracted a great deal of attention, and
her letter Is a splendid tribute to the
curative properties of Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
