FOUR DOCTORS FAILED.
A Michigan Lady's Battle with Disease
and How 1t Was Won.

Flushing, Mich, Dec. 22.-(Special.)
One of the most active workers in
the cause of Temperance and Social
Passmore Of this place. She is a
prominent and very enthusiastic w.
G. Il. u. woman, and one who never
loses an opportunity to strike a blow
against the demon of Intemperance.
Mrs. Passmore has suffered much
bodily pain during the last three
years through Kidney and Bladder
Trouble. At times the pain was al
most unbearable. and the good lady
was very much distressed. She tried
physician after physician, and each
in turn failed to relieve her, let alone
effect a cure. Home remedies sug-
gested by anxious friends were APP
piled, but all to no purpose. At last
some one spoke Of Dodd's Kidney
Pills as great remedy for all Kidney
and Bladder Diseases, and Mrs. Pass
more decided to try them. She did,
and is now well woman. She has
given the following statement for pub
lication:
At different times in the past three
years, have suffered severely with
Kidney and Bladder Trouble, and at
ter trying four Of the best physicians
l could hear of, two Of them living in
the state of New York, l found my
self no better. l took any amount of
home remedies suggested by kind
friends, with little or no relief from
anything. l decided to try Dodd's
Kidney Pills. Less than one box has
done me more good than all the other
treatments combined. l am still using
them, and can say from experience
that they are an excellent remedy for
Kidney and Bladder Trouble. l would
heartily recommend them to all those
suffering from these ills in like man

TRANSVAAL WAR ITEMS.

A dispatch from Cape Town, dated
the Goth says: The situation here is
more serious. Fully 1000 Beers have
invaded the northern section. Grave
fears are entertained that Dutch sym
pathizers will join the rebellion. AL
though there is no fear as to the ulti-
mate result, the lack of a sufficient num-
Der OF mounted troops is felt by the Brit
1sh. The enormous waste of horses in
South Africa was not fully appreciated
until now. Martial law has been pro-
claimed in the following additional
districts: Britstown, Victoria, West,
Richmond, Hanover, Murraysburg,
Graaf Reinet, Aberdeen, Middleburg,
Steynsburg, Craddock, Tarka and
Molteno.
Lord Kitchener's dispatches, breath
ing confidence hardly justified by
their contents, are almost the only
available news from the seat of hostili-
ties in South Africa but kilograms
from Cape Town depict the situation
in anything but roseate hues. With
out believing the assertion of the Trans
vaal agency in Brussels that 6, 900 Beers
evident that the invasion was serious
and well planned affair.
1t is reported that Gen. Knox has
been forced to abandon the pursuit of
Gen. Dewet owing to the situation
created in Cape Colony by the Beers
crossing the Orange river. 1t is said
that 1900 republicans have entered
Cape Colony and n similar number have
reached Philipstown. The report adds
that Dewet with about 1850 men is
northeast of Ladybrand, and that an
attack on Winburg is momentarily ex-
pected.
Gen. De Wet had 5000 men and 49,
900 horses when he captured De Vets
dorp, according to a gentleman who
was imprisoned there. The Boer COM
mander then declared that he was not
going to surrender without a free par
don for all his men, including many
Cape Dutch. The force of 6, 900 is now
divided into three sections.
The invasion of Cape Colony is
spreading. 1t is reported that the
Beers have occupied Colesburg, south
of Philippolis, and near the Orange
River Colony frontier. The people at
Cape town are much disturbed. A
mixed force of 1000 men were dis
patched north on the night of the 10th.
The steamer Lake Champlain, having
on board Col. Otter and $50 Canadian
troops returning from South Africa,
arrived at Halifax from Liverpool on
the Esd and disembarbed. Among the
returned soldiers were 40 sick and
wounded, and one insane man.
President Kruger arrived at Amster-
dam on the 10th. He was met at the
railroad station by the municipal and
communal authorities. Speeches were
exchanged in the royal waiting room.
"A bouquet was presented to Kruger,
whose every appearance was signal
for rounds of applause.

One Nay Speak Of a Tinkor's Dam With

There is no profanity In saying that
any certain thing lis not worth q
tinker's DAM" although it is SO con-
sidered by many. The expression
originated many years ago, when tink-
ering, or mending leaky tin vessels
former times the use Of rosin to
check the flow of solder when placed
on tin was not generally understood
ut least by the rowing tinkers. When
one of these gentlemen of the road
found a job, such as mending wash
boiIrr or other tin household utensil,
he would get from the housewife or
domestic piece Of soft dough. With
this he would build dam around the
place where he intended to put his
solder Inside OF the circle thus
formed he poured the melted lead.
When the metal cooled he would brush
away the dam of dough that had con-
fined it to the desired limits. The heat
had hardened the heavy paste and
baked 1t thoroughly, so it was abso-
lutely of no use for anything else. 1t
became one OF the most useless things
in the world, and there was not enough
Of it even to be worth while carrying
