FROM DEATHS DOOR.

Hillsdale, H., April 29th Much In
terest has been aroused here over the
case Of William Marks, who has been
In a dying condition for several
months with an apparently incurable
Kidney Disease.
The leading physicians OF this place
had pronounced his case a hopeless
one, and others from Port Byron,
Geneseo, and Davenport, Ia, had at
tended him. and in a consultation de-
cded that he could not live.
In desperation, his nephew inquired
OF Mr.. l., +, 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
d be up and about, completely cured,
His cure is the talk Of the neIghbor-
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
Brights Disease, Diabetes and Drop
sy, yield readily to its remarkable in
fiuence. These forms of Chronic KID
ney Disease have hitherto been consid-
cred incurable, and have baHled all
medical skin, and yet, this new rem
edy has cured every single case in
which it has been used, in this neigh
borhood. The doctors themselves are
amazed at the wonderful work Dodd's
Kidney Pills are accomplishing in
Rock Island County.

Sicily is in some sense land of

more present to the mind than the
living-a land where one feels ones
self to be a breathing man visiting
like Dante or like Hercules, the realms

haunted by the ghosts of great men or
the memories of great events or OF
great and departed nations.

tory of NaXos one fancies the sickly
