A Professional Nurse Tells Her Ex perience With Doan's Kidney Pill*. Montague, Mass. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Gentlemen—I heartily wish those who are suffering from backache and disturbed action of the kidneys would try Doan's Kidney Pills. As was the ease with me. they will he more than surprised with the results. 1 had been troubled for years with my spine. 1 could not lie on either side. Spinal cramps would follow, and words could not explain the agony which I would endure. While in these cramps I could not speak or move, but by mak ing a great effort after the cramp had left me I could begin to speak and move a little, but my whole back was so sore and lame that 1 could not even have the back bathed for some time, fly nerves were in a terrible state. 1 would rather sit up at night than go to bed, dreading the cramps and the terrible backaches. 1 consult ed physicians, but got only a little relief for the time being. Seeing your advertisement, my mother urged me to try Doan's Kidney Pills. After using one box I was better, and have ever since been on the gain. I have no backache and no cramps now and I feel like a new pprson. My nerves are better and I know my blood is purer. Words cannot express my thanks to you for what Doan's Kidney Pills have done for me. In my work as professional nurse 1 have a chance to recommend them; and they did me so much good that I will do so on every possible occasion. HATTIE BRIGHAM. Nurse. Doan’s Kidney Pills are sold at BO cents per box. Address Foster Mllburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y„ for a free trial box. It is better to collect yotir thoughts than to borrow other people’s.

Representative ‘‘Nick” Longworth of Ohio, the amateur golf champion of Hamilton county, made his maiden speech in congress the other day. Fred Ireland, one of the official sten ographers and himself a golflac, re ported the speech. He began his notes as follows: ‘•Representative Long worth teed up his first oratorical ball today and made a pretty drive for 180 yards. He got in trouble In the long grass with his metaphorical Iron on the second shot, but came out brave ly with a poetical approach and holed down in five with a peroration that gave him bogy.’ Dispensed With Useless Eating Tools. Governor Van Sant, of Minnesota, is visiting Washington. The governor was a burly and breezy steamboat captain on the Mississippi and is called “captain” to this day. Every time he goes to the capital they tell the story of bis first dinner at the White House. When he sat down at the table he found several spnonn, several forks and several knives in front of him. The governor inspected the cutlery carefully. Then he chose one knife, one fork and one spoon, brushed the rest aside and allowed he would eat his dinner with the selec tions he had made. SURE The Robust Physique Can Stand More Coffee Than a Weak One. A young Virginian says: “Having a naturally robust constitution far above the average and not having a nervous temperament, my system was able to resist the inroads upon it by the use of coffee for some years but finally the strain began to tell. "For ten years I have been employ ed as telegraph operator and type writer by a railroad in this section and until two years ago I had used cof fee continually from the time I was eight years old, nearly 20 years. "The work of operating the tele graph key Is a great strain upon the nerves and after the day’s work was over I would feel nervous, irritable, run down and toward the last suffer ed greatly from insomnia and neu ralgia. As I never indulged in intoxi cating liquors, drugs or tobacco in any form I came to the conclusion that coffee and tea were causing the gradual break-down of my nervous system and having read an article in the Medical Magazine on the composi tion of coffee and its toxic effect upon the system, I was fully convinced that coffee was the cause of my trouble. "Seeing Postum spoken of as not having any of the deteriorating ef fects of coffee I decided to give up the stimulant and give Postum a trial. The result was agreeably surprising. After a time my nerves became wonderfully strong. I can do all my work at the telegraph key and typewriter with far greater ease than ever before. My weight has incrased 35 pounds, my general health keeping pace with it, and I am a new man and a better one.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich. There’s a reason.

Borne of ihe circles were nc larger than a pin head, though there were thousands of them in the intea tine. While it is not uncommon foi parasites to be found in horses, this is the first time in the history of th« state, so far as known, that anything like this case has ever been found The effect on the horse attacked is u cause general debility and a wasting aw ay until death.

DOWN IN THE EARTH, Temperature Varies in Different Parts of the World. In the report of the last »onl com mission the conclusion is arrived at that at a depth of 3.ooo foot the tem perature of (tie earth would amount to OS degrees Fahrenheit but it was considered that a depth of at least 4.000 feet might ultimately tie reached in coal mining. The rate of increase, the commissioners thought, might for ordinary cases be assumed to be one degree Fahrenheit for every fib feet. Iml it is really impossible to give any fixed rate of increase. The report of the British associa tion committee on underground tem peratures during the last thirty years tends to show not only that the tem perature gradient varies considerably in different localities, but that it is not easy to deduce a tlxed law of in crease applicable to aii cases, in some parts of western America the heat at 3.000 feet is almost unbearable, while at the copper mine in north Michigan there is a rise of only four degrees Fahrenheit in a depth of 4 4ou feet, al though no artificial ventilation is re sorted to. The temperature of the coal on dis covery at the Knsobtidge colliery in Lancashire was stated by the man agement to tie 93 degrees Fahrenheit, but it afterward fell to 03 degrees Fahrenheit.

But when the Colonel paused with the last one, Lincoln said: “Why, Colonel, you've overlooked one of your soldiers!” The Colonel did not understand, but following the direction of the Presi dent's gaze, he saw, stowing himself away in an obscure corner where he hoped not to be noticed, his regi mental drummer boy, who had stolen along behind his superiors.

Haskell, Worthy Vice Templar, Inde pendent Order Good Templars, of Silver Lake, Mass., tells of her cure by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. “ Dear Mrs. Pinkham : Four years ago I was nearly dead with inflam mation and ulceration. I endured daily untold agony, and life was a burden to me. I had used medicines and washes internally and externally until 1 made up mv mind that there was no relief for me. ('ailing at the homo of a friend, 1 noticed a bottle of Lydia L. l’inkhum’s Vegetable Compound, My friend endorsed it highly and I decided to give it a trial to see if it would help me. It took patience and nerseverence for i was in bad condition, and I used Lydia K. l’l ilk ham's Vegetable Compound for nearly live months before 1 was cured, but what a change, from despair to happiness, from misery to the delightful exhilarating feeling health always brings. 1 would not change back fora thousand dollars, and your Vegetable Compound is a grand medicine. I wisli every aick woman would try it and be convinced.”—Mrs Ida ITaskkm., Silver Lake, Mass. Worthy Vice Templar, Independent Order of Oood Templars. When a medicine linn been successful In more than a million eases, is it justice to yourself to say, without trying it, “1 do not believe it would help me”? Surely you cannot wish to remain weak, and flick and dis couraged, exhausted, with each day’s work. You have some derangement of the feminine organism, and Lydia, E. Plnkham’s Ycgetable Compound will help you Just as surely as it has others. " Hrs. Tillie Hart, of Larimore, N. D., says: “ Pfak Mrs. I’inkiiam: 1 might have,Leon spared many months of suffering aud pain if I had known of the efficacy of Lvdia Iv. Pink liain's Vegetable Compound a few months sooner, for-1 tried many remedies without find ing anything which helped me before 1 tried the Vegetable Compound. I dreaded the approach of the menstrual period every month, as it meant much suffering and pain. Home months the flow was very scanty and‘others it was pro fuse, but after I had used the Compound for two months 1 became regular and natural, and so I continued until I felt perfectly well, and the parts were strengthened to perform the' work without assistance and pain. I am like a differ ent woman now. where before 1 did not care to live, and 1 am pleased to testify aa to tha good your Vegetable Compound has done for me. ” Sincerely yours, Mrs. Tiujk IIaht, Lari more, ND, He It, therefore, believed by all women who are ill that LydiaE.
