FOUR DOCTORS FAILED.
a Michigan Lady's Battle with Dis
ease and How 1t Was
Won.

Flushing, Mich, Jan. z, 1901 (Spe-
ciaD.-One of the most active workers
IN the cause of Temperance and Social
Reform in Michigan is Mrs. p. A. Pass
more of this place. She is a prominent
and very enthusiastic w. c. I. u. wom-
an, and one who never loses an oppor-
tunity to strike a blow against the
demon of Intemperance. Mrs. Pass
more has suffered much bodily pain
during the last three years through
Kidney and Bladder Trouble. At times
the pain was almost ~unbearable, and
the good lady was very much dis
tressed. She tried physician after
physician, and each in turn failed to
relieve her, let alone effect a cure.
Home remedies suggested by anxious
friends were applied, but all to M pur-
pose. At last some one spoke of Dodd's
Kidney Pills as a great Remedy for
all Kidney and Bladder Diseases, and
Mrs. Passmore decided to try them.
She did, and is now a well woman. She
has given the following statement for
publication:
At different times in the past three
years, I have suffered severely with
Kidney and Bladder Trouble, and after
trying four of the best physicians I
could hear of, two of them living in the
State of New York, I found myself no
better. I took any amount of home
remedies suggested by kind friends,
with little or no relief from anything.
/ decided to try Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Less than one box has done me more
good than all the other treatments
combined. I am still using them, and
can say from experience that they are
an excellent Remedy for Kidney and
Bladder Trouble. I would heartily rec
ommend them to all those suffering
from these ills in like manner

Passmore, they will do for any one

Recently a ro~sy-cheeked German girl ap-
piled for a position as domestic in a we'll
known family. The girl learned to speak the
English language in a remarkably short
appeal to her in the proper sense.
The telephone had a peculiar charm for
the girl, and at times she would loiter about
near the instrument in order to answer a
call. One day there came a ring and she
fastened to the phone and put the receiver
to her ear.
"Hello," she cried.
