LATTER DAY MIRACLE
Could Not Dress or Undress
Herself for Four Years.
was Unable to Raise Her Hands
to Ezer ETead, But now She
Does Up Her OWE zZair.

POPLAR CITY, III. Apr. 10-The peo-
pie here are all talking of the remark
able case of Mrs. J. S. Murdoch, who
has been brought from sickness OF
long duration to good health. They
regard it as nothing short of amiracle.
But a short time ago they knew Der
as frail, helpless suffering woman.
Now they see in her a most wonderful
change. Her suffering is over, she is
rapidly regaining her lost strength and
she ia able to help herself. Life was
formerly burden, now itisa pleasure
to her. Mr.. Murdoch, speaking ofthe
case, said. My wife was for fouryears
unable 10 raise her hands to her head
and could not dress Or undress herself
without aid. She was in constant
misery. Nothing that she took former
trouble helped her, until one day I
br ought home two boxes of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, which had been highly
recommended by persons who had cured
the mselves of kidney diseases with it.
After she had taken the first box she
was able to raise her hands to her
head and twist her hair. She is able
to dress herself and perform household
duties, and again life has taken on q
bright hue for her. It is certainly a
miracle, and Dodd's Kidney Pills are
responsible for it. Every form OF Kid
ney Disease is permanently cured by
Dodd's Kidney Pills. This great rem
edy has never been baffled. It has
cured hundreds after they have been
given up by the doctors todie. Dodd's
Kidney Pills are sold by druggists at
50cents box or six boxes for $3.50.

The Century's plans for the treat
ment of the Spanish War eliminate
with the publication in the May num-
Der of a remarkable series of papers
in which the commander of every
American vessel but Que describes his
share in the battle off Santiago, which
resulted in the complete destruction of
Cervera's fleet. The only exception is
| in the case of the Oregon, whose COM
mander, Capt. Clark, endorses Lieut..
| Eberle's account OF that ships parti-
cipatirn in the fight, and himself con-
tribntes criticism OF the Spanish
Admiral's strategy. ''The Story of
the Captains is written with remark
able animation and in wholly untech-
nical language. Fighting Bob.
Evans of the Iowa, Lieut.. Commander
Wainwright of the Gloucester, and in
factall the commanders in this famous
fight, which has beenwell characterized
AS a "captains' battle, can see the
strong points of story of adventure
SIS plainly as the weak points of an
enemy's ship; whether they bring them
out with the skill of trained writer's or
not, is aquestion each reader will ans
wer for himself. 1t may safely be said
no battle by land or sea has ever been
SO completely and authoritatively des-
cribed, in any one periodical, as the
fight off Santiago is presented in this
group of lavfshly illustrated articles.
'The Story of the Captains" fills
rbout seventy pages, but the magazine
has been enlarged to make room forit
without crowding other matter.
