AFTER EIGHTEEN YEARS.
Mrs. Doty, Of Highland, Iowa, Re-
stored to HeaIth-A M~iracuIou
Case Her Husband Is Cured of
Brfght's Dinease by Same

Highland, Ia, March 4.-(Special.)-
Friends of Mrs. w. H. Doty are very
much pleased to notice the wonderful
improvement in her condition. For
eighteen years she has been a sufferer
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. 1 had nearly yost all faith in
anything, when I sent for six boxes of
Dodd's Kidney Pills. / said to my
husband / expected that it was some
more money thrown away, but when I
had taken them a week / could see
that they were helping me. The lame
ness / had suffered with for so long is
nearly all gone. 1t is not a quarter as
bad as it was. For years 1 had to.
wear a warm bandage around my fore
head to prevent the pain. Since using
the Pills 1 have been able to remove
this altogether.
Il cannot find words to express my
heartfelt thanks for Dodd's Kindey-
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 1 got
Dodd's Kidney Pills he commenced
taking four a day. He has taken them
three months and is nearly well. His
strength has increased, and the i'm
provement in his case is almost mirac-
ulous. Dodd's Kidney Pills have GER
tainly been a God-send to u.s."
1t is just cases like those Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Doty. that have made Dodd's Ktd-
ney Pills so popular in Iowa.
They are soc a box, six boxes for
$3.50. Buy them from your local
druggist if you can. If he cannot sup
ply you, send to the Dodd's Medical
Co, Buffalo, N. Y.

1t is stated that experiments with
aluminium as a substitute for paper are
now under way in France. 1t is we'll
known that the paper used today in
the manufacture of books is not dur
able. 1t is now possible to roll alumni
mum into sheets four-thousands of an
inch in thickness, in which form it
weighs less than paper. By use of suit
able machinery these sheets can be
made even thinner and can be used for
book and writing paper. The metal
will not oxidize, is practically fire and
water proof and is i~ndestructible by
the jaws of worms. The cost, how
ever, now stands as a very large OBJ
stacle. A good deal of figuring is 60
ing on concerning it's possible reduc-
ton.

The Late Composer WAS Very Rich,
Thanks to Careful management of
the RicorJis.
Verdi was, however, very rich,
thanks, mainly, to the excellent man
agement of his musical affairs by the
Records. The original Ricordi was a
street violinist. None of the later OPP
eras can be performed unless the Ri
cords have approved the cast, a ne
cessary ~precaution in Italy, where an
opera can be half-ruined by a bad
cast, but certain singers, such as Ia
mango and Maurel, can sing the Verdi
operas without permission. Verdi OBJ
served great secrecy concerning his
operas, even to his business associates.
and it is said that the first intimation
the Records themselves received of
the composition of "Falstaff'' was a.
toast offered by Boito, who, at a sup,
per one night, when the publisher and
his wife were present, slyly glanced at
Verdi, and proposed a health to the
Fat Knight" at which, it seemed
Verdi and Boito had been working for
months. Boito, beyond question, had
provided Verdi with another libretto,
although it is understood the compos-
er has not done anything of conse-
quence with it, the only unpublished
compositions he has left being some
short religious pieces.-London Daily
