republic and charged his emissary to
convey to his chief his warm regard

wishes for the continued prosperity
of our sister republic.
The presidents speech was very
happy and was especially notable on
account of his injunction to the peo-
pie not to be alarmed about imperial
ism. There was, he said, no imperial
ism except the imperial power of the
sovereign people of the United States.

everyone supposed was his death bed.
He had Diabetes, and six of his brother
doctors were in attendance and con-

done everything that medical skill
could suggest to save his life, but they
were at last reluctantly forced to tell
him that he must prepare for death.
His aunt had been summoned to his
dying bedside. After the doctors had
given her nephew up, she insisted that
as a last resort, he be given q treat
ment of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
From the very first dose, the tide
turned in his favor. His life was saved,
End he is hale and hearty to-day.
This case and its cure has amazed

that while many others are being
cured by this great discovery in medi-
cine, the physicians themselves are
among the first to benefit, and that
