DONALD KENNEDY, OF ROXBuRY, MASS.

down to a common Pimple.
He has tried it in over eleven hundred
cases, and never failed exeeptin two cases

A benefit is always experienced from

When the lungs are affected it causes
shooting pains, like needles passing
through them: the same with the Liver OF

stopped, and always disappears in a week
after taking it. Read the label.
If the stomach is foul or bilious it will

Experience Of TicO Dogs.

\ pair Of dogs had a very unhappy ten
minutes on Westminster street Yesterday
afternoon IL was after 4 o'clock when the
first dog came rambling along, and a few
minutes later the other dog appeared They
promptly struck up a friendship and went
on an investigating tour in Indian file.
An innocent appearing trolley pole stands
on the sidewalk, and though it was raining,
the ground about this pole was dry when
the dogs showed up The first dog moved
up to tie pole aud put his nose against it.
Then he let out 4 series Of bowls and yells
aud proceeded to roll over on the ground,
prefacing the proceeding by kicking the
second dog iq the eye. The latter animal
seemed panied and surprised at this beba-
vior, and he investigated by putting the end
of his nose against the pole.
A number Of people hurried to the spot
and listened to the canine duet, while dog
No. l continued to roll around in wet places
and dog No. , ran up and down with his
nose again.t the dagslones. Somebody said
the dogs had a pair Of fits between them, but
be didn't explain how one dog could catch
a fit from the other. Still, be ran off for a
pail Of water.
Officer O Brien came along, saw the dry
place about the pole and recognized that it
was charged, with electricity. He said the
dogs were shocked, and the man who saw
the first of it thought that hat described the
feelings Of the second dog after the first dog
had found out what WAS in.the pole. While
the dogs were cleaning off the sidewalk with
themselves the officer guarded the pole and
warned away drivers Of horses. He also
notified the Union Railroad Company, and
when the wagon came it was found that the
insulation in the cap over the trolley was
worn out and the current had escaped
charging the ground wires and the pole
After this interesting fact was communica-
ted to the dogs they stopped rolling and ran
away.-PrOridsnce Journal.
