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.

A Golfer's Malden Speech.
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.”

STRANGE DISEASE IN MORSES.
State Veterinarian is Puzzied Over
Rock County Cane.
LINCOLN — Stall' Veterinarian
Thomas lias just discoverer! a disease
in horses heretofore unheard of in No
brasha thai lb causing the death of a
number ol animals in the neighbor
hood of Hassell. He was called upot
to examine a colt. The colt died ano
the doctor held a post-mortem exam
(nation and found ihat tin* caecum, un«
of the intestines, was tilled with lit
tie worms, imebedded in a circulai
shape. 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. A number of horses
that were not examined have died it
the same neighborhood with symp
turns similar lo those of the colt.
Dr. Thomas will take his specimen
to Kansas City, where he will exhibit
it at a meeting of the .Missouri Valley
Veterinary association, it is said the
first time anything of the kind was
over heard of was in Scotland many
years ago, and the old text books eon
lain pictures of the worms as found
by Dr. Thomas. Just what causes the
worms is unknown and how to gel rid
of them is a question that is yet to be
studied oui. Whether the disease was
brought to the state or w hether it was
caused by something the animal ate is
another question that will have to be
looked alter by the doctors. In the
neighborhood where the disease was
found the land is sandy and water is
close to the surface, hut whether this
ad anything to do with starting tht
disease is yet unknown.

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

Lincoln and the Drummer Boy.
lu tho spring of 18t>4 Col. Fox
stopped a few days in Wasnington
with his regiment, the Twenty-seventh

of the Potomac. While there he
called on President Lincoln, who re

and the officers of his regiment to
attend a reception at the White House
that evening, an invitation which was
jtfyfully accepted.
When they arrived at the historical
mansion the Colonel introduced his
officers to the President, who greeted
them warmly. 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.

but walk over to the ooy and take hcS

While Joseph Jefferson was brewing

he descanted at length upon the high
art of preparing a hot Scotch.
“If 1 do say it myself." observed
the host, “I have an especial gift for
serving hot Scotch. Billy Florence
used to say that I should have been
a barkeeper. Now try this. Mr. Cleve
land. and let me know your verdict.”
Several times Mr. Cleveland tested
the steaming liquid thoughtfully, nam
ing the ingredients as he identified
them. ‘‘Nutmeg, lemon, water, sugar,”
he mused approvingly. “But I don't
imagine you would hold a position as
barkeeper very long."
“What’s wrong?” queried Mr. Jeffer
son anxiously.
"You might he a great success as
attendant in a hot water hospital,"
said the ex president, ‘‘but as a eom

M rs. 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,

who are ill that LydiaE. Pinklium’s Vege

should take. It has stood the test of time,
and it lias bund reds of thousands of cures

unwise to use any other medicine,
