Mrs. Dyer's Heart.

McCarron. Mich, Oct. 21.-In April
last the sensational case of Mrs.
Samuel G. Dyer of this place was re-
ported in these columns. Mrs. Dyer
has suffered for years with a very bad
case of Heart Trouble and was cured
in few weeks by Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Since then Mrs. Dyer has received
hundreds of inquiries as to her condi-
ton, and many may be interested to
hear that she is at present enjoying the
best of health and has not had the
slightest return of the Heart Trouble.
Formerly she had to sit up in bed for
hours to get relief; now she goes about
as smartly as any lady "t 81 years in
the State. Dodd's kidney Pills have
made many friends in Chippewa
County through their cure of Mrs.
Dyer's case, and have proven beyond
doubt that their cures are not only
very complete, but absolute and per-

OUR WEAPON AGAINST EUROPE
In a Tariff War We Could Cripple All
the Transatlantic Lines.

The periodical revival of the talk about
an anti-American commercial alliance in
Europe makes it worth while to take an
account of stock and see what means of
defense we have against such cembina-
ton.
Tariff retaliation, of course, we could
use with excellent eject. j. European
countries shut out our goods we could bar
theirs, not only from our continental mar
kets but from those of Porto Rico, Ha-
wall and the Philippines. But while this
would be a serious blow to Europe it
might not be decisive, since our exports
to most countries of the European conti-
nent greatly exceed our imports from
them. Tariff retaliation is a game at
which they might be able to meet US on
at least equal terms.
But there is one direction in which our
weakness may prove our strength. We
have hardly any shipping that can be in
Jured by European determinations. while
Europe has an immense tonnage that lies
open to our reprisals. Suppose, for in
stance, that Germany should join an anti
American commercial league, and that
we should announce that all goods
brought to American ports in German
vessels should pay extra duties of 10 per
cent. what could Germany do? She could
not retaliate in kind, for there are hardly
any American vessels trading to German
ports. She could not levy additional
taxes on American imports, for. by the
hypothesis, she would already have car
ried such taxes to the point Of prohibi-
ton. She would simply have to watch
her splendid merchant marine wither
away while British vessels inherited the
business.
We are not anxious for a commercial
war, but if one is to come here is a sat
isfactory assurance that we shall not get
the worst of it.-Saturday Evening Post.
