OF her light mantle was drawn over
her head and face. and as she came

was unconscious of my presence until
she almost touched me. At the first
recognition she gave a little cry and
started back. the next instant she had
recovered herself. and something OF
the womanly dignity which 1 had ad-
mired in her at our first meeting re-
turned to her bearing She made no
apology or excuse for her presence

to precede me into the hall. She did
not, as half expected. try to excuse
or account for her late walk, but with
another bow she passed on and up the

THE NURSES STORY,

Some Startling Facts are Laid Before the

One Who Has for Twenty Years Min

MILES, Wis, Feb. 6.-Louis Hughes,
who for a score of years has been nurse,
tells how he saved himself from death
and also made most important dis
covery while ministering to the sick and
dying.
II was suffering with my kindeys,"
says the nurse, land my experience with
regard to this trouble was that it was
incurable. had no faith in any medi-
cine, but heard so much about Oodd's
Kidney Pills and the wonderful cures
they had performed that I determined
to try them. In about five days after
using the pills / found that the dull pain
in my back was less heavy, and gradu-
ally my back seemed to get stronger. I
have felt less pain when bending or ris-
ing. My urine is much freer and color
decidedly better. Ia fact, they acted
with me as a tonic. They seemed to
tone my whole system. have been a
nuree for the past twenty years and
have had many dropsical cases, and
Dodd's Kidney Pills would be good in
such cases, as they cause free flow of
the urine.'
Thousands of cases of dropsy, heart
disease, diabetes, rheumatism, lumbago,
sciatica. neuralgia, gravel stone in the
bladder, diseases of women, paralysis
and heart failure, have been cured by
Dodd's Kiddey Pills. Sold by druggists
at 80 cents box, or six boxes So so.
