case of Heart Trouble and was curel

hours TO get relief; now she goes about
as smartly as any lady Of 62 years in
the State. Dodd's kidney Pills have

This was well illustrated last week when a man from Boston and a man from Nova Scotia met in a New York hotel and were introduced by a mutual friend. After a little talk the friend left them, and, having had no time to discover kindred interests, the conversation sagged painfully. At length, breaking a long pause. the Nova Scotian said:
 Wouldn't it do you good to wash your neck?"
