A LIFE SAVED.
a Druggists Timely and Straight-For-
ward Advice Saves ths Life OF
Prominent Citizen.


Chicago, H.. Nov. 26.-(SpeciaD
Among the Catholic Foresters in this
city, none is better known or more
universally esteemed, than Mr.. S. p.
Rush, Conductor (President) Of Holy
Name Court, Number &c.
His many friends, inside the Order
and outside of it's ranks, were, there
fore, much startled to learn that his
life was in danger, he having Bright's
Disease, that most terrible and fatal
disease
Mr.. Rush, however, made a grand
struggle for his life, taking prescrip-
tons, and pills and powuers, until his
stomach refused food. At last, his
local druggist, guided by the numerous
inquiries being made at his store for
Dodd's Kidney Pills, advised Mr.. Rush
to buy and try some. This he did. and
to his delight he was restored to
health and strength. =
Mr.. Rush says that after commenc-
ing the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills, he
felt much better, but it took two
months to effect cure. =
Il took nothing else but Dodd's
Kidney Pills during that time, so
know that l owe life and health to
them"
What this wonderful remedy has
done for Mr.. Rush, 1t will certainly do
for anyone. 1t is the only remedy
that has never failed to cure Brights
Disease.
Mr. Rush is just now receiving the
congratulations Of his friends, but al
ways finds time to say good word
for the Medicine that saved his life.

But no one can take mothers
place, and 1t Is an awful mistake that
that mother makes who sacrifices
home duties for any church meeting,
however important, or any hospital,
however merciful, or any outside bene-
fcence, however glorious and grand.
Not understanding this, we mistake
when We try to give statistics as to
how many Christians there are in our
churches in the world. We understate
the facts. We look over our church
audiences on the Sabbath or our
weekly service and conclude that they
represent the amount of piety In that
neighborhood. Oh, no! There are
many most consecrated souls that are
not found in churches. Look into
those houses with large families OF
children and little or no hired help.
For much of the year there is some
one Ill, and special guardian care is
requisite. How much time can that
mother give to churches and prayer
meetings when most of the family
are down with scarlet fever or have
