Oolitic, Ind, Sept. 15.-Mr. w. A.
Terry Of this place suffered for months
with a very severe case of Kidney
Trouble.
He was so very bad that he was al
most confined to his bed for three
months.
He tried many medicines but he
could not get any relief till he com
menced to use a remedy introduced
here some time ago as a cure for Kid
ney Trouble, the name of which is
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
MIR. Terry says that the second day
after commencing to use this remedy
he could notice a very marked i'm
provement in his condition and in a
short time he was able to so about
again.
He is naturally filled with gratitude
to Dodd's Kidney Pills for the i'm
mense amount of good they have done
him and says;
II would recommend Dodd's Kidney
Pills to every sufferer from kidney or
! bladder trouble, for from nay expert
ence | am sure they are the best medi-
cine to be had for all diseases OF that
nature"

Egan and the building had narrow es-
cape from total destruction. The

years, provided they are able to en-
dure the climate. They will receive

Estimates based on figures furnished
by 81 ger tent of all the licensed ware
houses In the state, indicate that dur
ing the past year the aggregate guam
THY OF grain purchased in South Dar
kota was as follows: Wheat, 37,8oo,-
0C0 bushels, barley, 5.S26, 900 bushels;
rye, 265, 900 bushels; fax, 2~,273,00o
buahels. The opinion Of the vast ma
iority OF warehouse and elevator men
seems to be that the yield Of all kinds
OF grain In the state this year will be
from Is TO 20 per cent greater than
last year.
