An Earnest Wish,

Rev. Z. f. l.. Gauss, Galena, Ills, writes
"For over ten years [ had been a great suf.
ferer from pains in the small of the back and
region of the Kidneys, which was most ex.
cruciating and at times almost insufferable.
Doctoring brought no relief, except perhaps
momentarily, and 1 was finally advised, be-
ing unable to fulfill the duties of my calling,
to go abroad and seek the climate of my
youth. In Germany and Switzerland, emf
nent physicians, after close examinations, de-
clared my sufferings to arise from disease of
the Kidneys, of long standing, and could do
me no good. l was, however, benefited by
the climate and consequently returned. No
sooner had been back and resumed nv pas
toral work, when the old! trouble grew again
so intense as to make life burden. A few
months ago came in possession of one of
DAYS KIDNEY PADS, put il on, and the ef-
fects were truly wonderful. The pains at
once grew less, and are now, after wearing
the second PAD, entirely gone, and there can
be no doubt that / am entirely cured, as l
write this some weeks after its use. and am
strong and leck again the very picture of
health. l write this perfectly voluntarily,
and it is dedicated only by truth and graft
tude. Indeed l consider the DAr KIDNEY
PAD Co. Gods agents and great benefactors
of mankind. May all the suffering be helped
as l have been, is my earnest wish"

Lewiston Journal: "Oh yes It's lots of
fun to sell Christmas presents" remarked a
holiday goods dealer with an air of resigna-
ton to the inevitable. "For instance: A
lady comes in and says, We've got so much
money and we want to buy a nice present for
Mr.. So-and-So and his wife. We want to
give them good thing and want you to let
us have it cheap sell her asilver ice picher
for profit of half dollar. She asks me
to lay it aside until the day before Christ
mas when she will call and get it. Her last
injunction is: "Be sure not to sell it, and
say nothing about it. A day or two after.
wards q gentleman comes in, admires the
ice pitcher and says it is just what he wants
to give his wife. He makes me a good offer,
but tell him can't let him have it, its sold.
Well, the lady calls the night before Christ
mas, all smiles, and remarks: 'Oh, Mr.. Bi
Do you know the rest of the committee have
decided to give Mr.. So-and-So meershaum
pipe and his wife a stuffed easy chair Two
presents will make more show than one you
know. Itwon't be any disappointment to
you will it?' 'Oh! no. family respond
Twice out Of three times when we lay goods
aside for people, we don't get the money"
And the philosoper philosophically felt for
his boot straps in his trowsers pockets, and
smiled glumly.

A BENEFACTRESS.

Just open the door for her, and Mrs. Win
slow will prove the American Florence Night
ingale of the Nursery. OF this we are so sure,
that we will teach our ''Susy" to say, "a
blessing on Mrs. Winslow' for helping her to
survive and escape the gripping, colicking and
teething siege. MRS. WINSLOW'S SOOTH
ING SYRUP relieves the child from pain,
and cures dysentery and diarrhea. 1t softens
the gums, reduces Inflammation, cures wind
collie, and carries the infant safely through
the teething period. 1t performs precisely
what it processes to perform, every part of it
nothing less. We have never seen Mrs.
Winslow-know her only through the prepa-
ration of her Soothing Syrup for Children
Teething.' If we had the power we would
make her, as she is, a physical saviour to the
infant race. Sold by all druggists. 25 cents
a bottle. dec17-tWSM&wlw
