methods of living, not one woman in

natural change without experiencing
a train of very annoying and some
times painful symptoms.
Those dreadful hot flashes, sending
the blood surging to the heart until it
seems ready to burst, and the faint
feeling that follows, sometimes with
chills, as if the heart were going to
stop for good, are symptoms of a dan
gerous, nervous trouble. Those hot

POLICE OFFICER RESCUED.

Officer A. c. Swanson of the Council
Bluffs. Force Tells an Interesting
Story.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, Jan. 81,
1901.-(Special.} = Kind-hearted Officer
Swanson Of the local police force is very
popular in this city. He has lived here
for seventeen years, and has enjoyed
many high offices in social and society
work. He is now Vice-President of the
"DannebrOg" Brotherhood, the largest
Danish secret society in America, which
combines benevolent with the social
features. Owing to the constant ex-
posure and many hours ON his feet,
which his duty as Police Officer
makes unavoidable, Mr.. Swanson be-
came the victim of serious Kidney and
Liver Trouble. He was very bad, but
has entirely recovered. He gives the
story i'll his own words as follows:
Il have been "a sufferer for many
years with Kidney and Liver Trouble.
and have tried many remedies. some OF
which gave me temporarily relief. and
others which were absolutely worthless.
| began TO think that there was no help
for me, when my nephew gave me a
part Of a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills
which he had left, saying that it would
do no harm to try them, as they had
certainly fixed him all right What he
gave me helped me so much that l felt
justified in purchasing more, and 1 grew
slowly better 1t took almost two
months to effect a complete cure, as
mine was very bad case, but l can
cheerfully and truthfully say that am
a we'll man to-day, and l am very CRATE
full that Dodd's Kidney Pills were thus
brought to my notice"
The wonderful cures effected by
Dodd's Kidney Pills in Iowa have Gre
ated quite a sensation in some parts of
the State. There does not seem to be
any case of Lame Back, Rheumatism,
Kinney or Bladder Trouble which these
wonderful Pills cannot cure. They are
certainly popular here, and the sale
through the local druggists is very
large.
