Mrs. Doty of HIGHLAND, low, Restorei
10 Health-A Miraculous Case-Her
Husband Ia Cure of BriEht's Dis-
ease by Same Means.
Highland, Iowa, March 4, 1901.-Spe'
cial.)-Friends of Mrs. W. III. Doty are
very much pleased to notice the won
derful improvement in her condition.
For eighteen years she has been a suf-
ferer from rheumatism, and the torture
she has endured during this time Is
past all description. Mrs. Doty tells
the following story:
II have suffered for the past eighteen
years with Kidney Trouble and Rheu-
matism. / have tried doctors, patent
medicines, plasters, liniments, electric
treatments, and nothing did me any
good. | had nearly lost all faith In any
thing, when l sent for six boxes, OF
Dodd's Kidney Pills. ] said to my hus-
band | expected that it was some more
money thrown away, but when had
taken them a week | could see that
they were helping me. The lameness l
had suffered with for so long Is nearly
all gone. 1t Is not a quarter as bad as
1t was. For years | had TO wear a
warm bandage around my forehead to
prevent the pain. Since using the Pills
| have been able TO remove this alto
gether.
II cannot find words to express my
heartfelt thanks to Dodd's Kidney
Pills for their wonderful cure Of my
case. My husband has suffered from
Kidney Trouble for years. Last spring
a doctor said he had Bright's Disease,
and treated him, but he received no
benefit, and he kept growing thinner
and weaker all the time. When got
Dodd's Kidney Pills he commenced
taking four n day. He has taken them
three months and Is nearly well. His
strength is increased, and the improve
ment in his case Is almost miraculous.
Dodd's Kidney Pills have certainly
been q God send to U.s."
1t Is Just cases like those OF Mr.. n
Mrs. Doty that have made Dodd's Kid
ney Pills so very popular in Iowa.
They are soc a box, six boxes for
$3.50. Buy them from your local drug
gist If you can. If he cannot supply
you, send to the Dodds Medicine Co.,,

A BRITISH INDUSTRY LOST.
what the English Press Says of tho Ircn
and steel Market.

Washington special: A report re-
Ceived al the state department from
United States Consul Fleming, at Edin-
burgh, Scotland, sets forth an alarming
decline in the metal industry Of Great
Britain, calls attention to the lament
able lack Of thorough education among
British engineers and discusses the
mooted question as TO whether the
heavy expectation of coal from Great
Britain should continue.
ITO describe the difference In the con-
dition of the metal trades at the begin
ming n at the end of last year. says
the consul, would be to contrast enor-
nous activity and practical stagnation.
The depression is attributed In a part
to falling prices on metals all along the
line, but chiefly to offers of American
iron and steel at reduced prices, which
the consul states came upon the mar
kets last autumn with crushing effect.
What made the difficulty worse for
British producers, he continues, was
that Germany, having bought largely
from America in the spring and sum-
mer, became alarmed and resold In
England at reduced figures, also plac-
ing iron and steel on the market in
competition with American manufac-
lures"
AS indicative of the general aCknowl-
cdgment OF the crisis In the metal
trades Consul Fleming quotes from
Edinburgh papers, which state that
the iron and steel trades have gone
from us the outlook Is appalling"
the question of foreign competition in
the metal trades is the most serious in
dustrial problem before the country In
the new century, and other express
sions Of alarm at the outlook.
The press in general. say Mr.. Flem-
ing, blames the manufacturers for not
adopting labor-saVing machinery in all
branches of production where IL can be
introduced, and blames workmen for
their undisguised hostility to all labor
saving devices.
AS to the lack OF practical instruction
in the Industrial arts, the consul states:
1T is the accepted opinion here that in
the matter of technical education Great
Britain is far behind the United States
and Germany" On this subject also
the consul transmits newspaper arti-
cles eulogizing the liberality OF rich
American citizens in foundation and
endowment of institutions for the ac-
quirement Of such an education. and
declaring h a this generosity on the
part of wealthy Americans is a potent
factor in the educational development
of the United States. Consul Fleming
concludes his report with a comprehen-
sive review of the fuel question. The
BRITISH manufactures, he says, nay not
give due weight to the technical advice
and notes of warning which come from
his able Instructors in the public
press, but he cannot shut his eyes to
the meaning of SO. 80 coal. Mr.. Fleming
points out that all the coal deposits In
Great Britain are known, and there are
few fields that have not beer worked
for a long time. Nearly one-fourth OF
the output last year vas exported, and
the opinion begins to prevail that this
amount Is entirely too great to send
away, in view of the limit which pro.
duction apparently has reached.
