McCarron, Mich, Oct. 21.-ln 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 very bad
case of Heart Trouble and was cure
in few weeks by Dadd's Kidney l'ills
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 lie
best of health and has not had thc
slightest return of the Heart Trouble.
Formerly she had to sill up in he'd f3r
hours to get relief; now she goes about
as smartly as any lady of G2 years in
the State. Dodi's Kidney Pills have
made many friends in Chippewa
County through their cure of Mrs.
Overs case, and have proven beyond
doubt that their cures are not only
Very complete, but absolute and per

been rich in that justice which commands
respect from equals and loyalty from In
feriors: in word, he keat discipline
without regard to rank.
His division was crossing ford on one

In Albany solemnly accuses I'LL ntws-

Misty memories drifting over from

ptcion, that the fussy person is either
right in his contention or else that he
has at least an excuse for making il.
But, the error admitted, we turn fierce
ly upon the Albanian critic and rend
him with the question, Can there pos
sibly be anything the matter With q
phrase used by LII American news
papers? Grammarians are cstima bic
