Sumpter, ILL.,, June 10th.-Mrs ]. B.
Flanagan, of this place, had suffered
with dropsy for fifteen years. She was
so very bad that for the last three
years she has not been able to wear
her shoes. She had doctored all the
time, but was gradually getting worse.
Last winter Mr.. Flanagan, who was
very much discouraged, called for some
medicine at Mr.. J. J. Dale's drug store
in Carmi. Mr.. Dale persuaded him to
have his wife try Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and he bought six boxes. His wife used
five out of the six. before she was en-
tirely cured. She is now as sound and
as well as ever she was, completely re-
stored to health, and free from any
symptom whatever of dropsy
To say that Mrs. Flanagan is pleased
at her wonderful deliverance does not
half express her feelings, and she and
Mr.. Flanagan are loud in their praises
Of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and of Mr..
Dale for recommending this wonderful
remedy to them.
The fact that Dodds Kidney Pills
cured Mrs. Flanagan of such a severe
case of dropsy, after the doctors had
given her up. has made them the most
talked of remedy ever known in White
county.

Fields of What In Which the Shocks

possible to Drive Between


Them.
To the Editor: A gentleman from
Duluth made a trip through a portion
of Western Canada last summer and
writing of what he saw, says:
Wheat. for instance, will average
twenty-five or thirty bushels to the
acre. | saw shocks so thick in the
field that it would be almost impossi-
bic to drive between them. Winters,
it is said are longer than near Du-
luth, but the japan current. warm
chinook winds and dry atmosphere
make the winters comparatively mild"
Thousands of such testimonials are
to be had from settlers who have taken
advantage of the low-priced lands of
Western Canada During the present
year new districts will be opened up
in the Saskatchewan valley and adj
vantage should be taken of this at
once. Information can be had from
any agent of the government. whose
