Chicago Chronicle: A railway has

in southwesterly direction from Rio
Janeiro. The peak Is a precipitous
cone. A tramway carries passen-

way are run on Sundays and holidays
The single car of each train holds
about fifty passengers. 1t is pushed
before an engine with an inclined
boiler, central cogwheels and brakes.

Several smaller viaducts are built, but

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER.
Tho Wife and Mother-in.Law Of Nh
Charles Keys.

Clarissa, Mimi, April 15.-(Special.)
No family in this vicinity is better
known or more universally respected,
than Mr.. Charles Keys, the local school
teacher, and his estlmable wife, and
mother-in-law. For long time Mrs.
Keys has been in i'll health. Recently,
however, she has found cure for her
ailments in Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Il cannot speak too highly Of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, or sof what they have
done for me-" said Mrs. Keys.
"My life was miserable, my back al
ways ached, also my head. I was trou-
bled with Neuralgia in the head and
face and suffered extreme pain, but
thanks to Dodd's Kidney Pills, all those
aches and pains have vanished like the
morning dew, and 1t now seems that
life Is Worth living. consider Dodd's
Kidney Pills God-send to suffering
humanity. They may rightly be named
the Elixir Of Youth.
while speaking of my own case and
the wonderful benefit I have received,
might also add that my mother, who
Is now an old lady of "a years and who
lives with me, has been troubled more
or less with aches and pains, US is nat
ural with one Of her advanced age.
When she saw what Dodd's Kidney
Pills had done for me she commenced
to use them herself, and she says that
they have done her. more good than
any other medicine she has ever trieds
This testimony is given in the hope
that others who may be afflicted as we
were may see and read 1t, and be bene-
fited by It,"
What Mrs. Keys states in her letter
can be verified by reference to any OF
her many friends in this ne1ghborhood.
Dodl's Kidney Pills have already a
wonderful reputation in Todd County.
Nothing has ever cured Bright's Dis
ease, Diabetes or Dropsy but Dodd's
