A Cure for Rheumatism.


Bridgeport, Wash. Oct. 20th.-Rheu-
matism and kidney trouble seem to
be the prevailing ailments in this ter.
ritory and particularly in Douglas
county.
A remarkable and plainly sure cure
has. however, recently been intro
duced.
It is called Dodd's Kidney Pills and
although but short time on the
market, it has already worked many
wonderful cures.
One of the most striking of these is
that of Mr.. John Higgins, who for q
long time suffered with rheumatism
and kidney trouble. The pains OF
these diseases had combined to make
his life very miserable indeed, and he
could get nothing to do him any good
till he heard of this new remedy. He
tells his experience with it in these
words:
"Dodd's Kidney Pills have done
more for my rheumatism and kidney
trouble than anything else have ever
used. There is more virtue in them
than in any other medicine and I will
always highly recommend them to all
of my friends"

Oh the worthlessness of Fame!

And the sweetness of forgetting
Oh, the sorrows of the soul!
Oh. the loneliness and longing.
Oh, the laughter and the tears!
Oh, the dinging and the donging

Unity and Rrotherhood.

Since Gen. Eli Torrance, comman-
der-in-chief of the Grand Army of the
Republic, issued his appeal to the
members of that organization for con-
tributions for the Confederate Veter-
ans Home at Mountain Creek, Ala. he
has received a large number of let
tiers on the subject from men who
wore the gray. few of these letters
indicate more or less plainly the sur
vival in the south of prejudices and
misunderstanding like those that
caused such terrible disasters in the
COS, but by far the greater part OF
them breathe the new spirit of unity
and brotherhood, and pay appreciative
tribute to the motives which inspired
the action of Gen. Torrance. Among
a large number of these letters, is one
from Robert Chisholm, of Birming CHAM,
Ala, which breathes the spirit of the
new south. 81 am he writes, IAN old
Confederate who learned under Lee
what the life of a soldier is. l am so
situated that 1 will never need help
from any one, but that does not pre-
vent my full appreciation of your most
magnanimous conduct in behalf of a
lot of poor fellows less fortunate than
/ have been. A few more men like you
and the world would be better off. l
want to add my thanks, with those
who will profit by. your kindness, to
you, and to all the Grand Army men
who feel like you. 1 went into the
army as a mere lad, and while did
the best could as soldier, and shed
bitter tears when the war ended, yet
1 have lived long enough to see that
God was kinder to us than we were
to ourselves and that this Union ought
to stay. 1 am in it to stay, and no
power of man will ever draw me or
mine out of it again. And that ought
to be much for a South Carolian TIC
