How q Loyal Engineer Did His Broth
er Great Service.
Meadville, Pa, Nov. &c, 19OO.-(Spe-
cial)-The Loyalty of the Members of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers is proverbial. A circumstance
occurred in this city some days ago,
which emphasizes this feeling.
Flank J. Zeller is Chief of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
No. 143. He is extremely popular
among his fellow railway men, and
one of the best known Engineers run
ming out of Meadville. When the an
nouncement was made a short time
ago that Frank was pretty sick, it
caused a great deal of regret among
the boys. Soon he was missed from
his engine, having had to "lay off,
on account of his back. A brother of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, who had been ill with similar
symptoms, some time before, and who
had been pulled through, called to see
Mr.. Zeller, and in a brotherly way,
took with him a box of Dodd's Kidney
AAA1Ss luO AeClICOJ "u4Cu udo CuISu
him. He advised Mr.. Zeller to try
them, with the result that after seven
boxes had been used, he was entirely
well, and able to work.
In an interview Mr.. Zeller states:
II had suffered for four years with
this affection, being often kept awake
at night with pains, and at times I'M
able to work. T tried several of the
advertised remedies, and found that
they did me no earthly good. Finally,
a member of our Order, who had been
cured of Kidney Disease by Dodd's
Kidney Pills brought me a box, and
asked me to try them. T had little
faith in them, but as a drowning man
grasps at a straw to help him, so I
took the Pills. I used seven boxes,
and am to-day as well and strong q
man as there is in Pennsylvania"
Naturally, Mr.. Zeller feels very
grateful, and his complete recovery
has delighted his many friends, and
none more than the good Brother,
who feels that he was instrumental
In saving the life Of the Chief.
Dodd's Kidney Pills never fail to
cure Kidney Trouble.
