Hillsdale, Ill, April 29th.-Much in
case of William Marks, who has been
in a dying condition for several
months with an apparently incurab BILE
Kidney Disease.
The leading physicians of this place
had pronounced his case a hopeless
one, ard others from Port Byron,
Geneseo, and Davenport, Ia, had at
tended him, and in a consultation de-
cided that he could not live.
In desperation, his nephew inquired
of Mr.. L. f. Giles, local druggist, as
to last resort. Mr.. Giles suggested
Dodd's Kidney Pills, a remedy which
had just been introduced here.
The results were marvellous. Mr..
Marks Immediately began to improve,
and within a few weeks was able to
be up and about, completely cured.
His cure is the talk Of the neigh
hood, and is considered nothing short
of a miracle.
There appears to be no doubt that
this new remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills,
will cure any case of Kidney Disease,
for the more malignant forms, such
as Bright's Disease, Diabetes, ard
Dropsy, yielo readily to it's remark
able influence. These forms Of
Chronic Kidney Disease have hitherto
been considered incurable and have
baffled all medical skill, and yet, this
new remedy has cured every single
case in which it has been used, in
this neighborhood. The doctors
themselves are amazed at the won
derful work Dodd's Kidney Pills are
accomplishing in Rock Island County.

Peace Reigneth Between

Diplomatic Relations Have Again been

n FER an interval Of twoscore

1t was in 1861, England, France and
Spain planned as joint undertaking
an expedition against Mexico. Ito de-
mand from the Mexican authorities
more effcacious protection for the
persons and properties of their (the
allied sovereignty subjects, as well as
fultillment of the obligations con-
tracted toward their majesties by the
republic of Mexico"
This agreement, known as the Mex
ican convention, was just one as
originally laid down in writing. Mex
leo, by decree in 1850, had suspend

ed payment of her foreign debt, a
debt owing to the three great powers
taking part in the convention; and it
was ostensibly on redress the allies
were bent. Pledges were signed that
there was to be no upsett.ng of the
Mexican government, no intention of
acquiring new territory; but the en-
peror of the French, Napoleon Ill,
had in mind from the start the con-
version of Mexico into feudal mon
archy of which he was to be over
lord.
The allies started off amicably
enough, but soon France set up
claims for redress that aroused the
disgust of the other nations. She
took up the claims of certain Jeck-
er, Swiss house that had loaned the
former Mexican government $75O,0OO;
and now declined to be satisfied with
less than $15,OOO,O0O. It was apparent
that France was looking for trouble,
so Spain and England withdrew from
the convention and left her to her
devices. French troops overran por-
lions of the country, battles were
fought and short-lived triumph
won. Napoleon understood the dan
ger of offering the crown to French
prince, SO chose for his puppet Arch
duke Macmillan, brother of the en-
peror of Austria. The archduke, a
man of high character, was not at
first willing to accept the proffered
crown, but finally his objections were
overruled and he started on his ILL
starred adventure, another unhappy
one of that unhappy house of Haps-
burg.
In 1862 Napoleon's Mexican empire
came into being. In 1864 Macmillan
landed at Vera Cruz and took up,
with French troops for protection,
the burden of the empire. The Unit
ed States from time to time quoted
the Monroe doctrine to the usurpers,
but was so concerned with troubles
of her own she could not quote Wig
orously until the end of the civil war.
Then American troops were fronted
toward the Mexican frontier, and
Emperor-Maker Napoleon retreated.

For 67 days after the departure of
the French, Macmillan was able to
hold out. Most courageously he
