Chicago. H., Aug. 11th.-Mr. Vail
berg, of ODD South Peoria St, this city,
had for years been an invalid with
liver complaint and kidney trouble
which was fast fastening him to the
grave. The doctors gave him up and
his friends and neighbors all declared
he could not live.
His brother came from Minneapolis
to see him before he died and in
quired If he had tried Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
On being told that this remedy had
not been used he went out at once and
bought n box, feeling satisfied from
what he knew of Dodd's Kidney Pills
and the noble work they had been do
ing in Minnesota, that they would save
his brothers. life.
The first two days ,Ir. Vahlberg
seemed to grow worse. but after that
he gradually improved under the treat
ment and was soon restored TO COM

STORY OF A WIRE MATTRESS.
Bronson Took One Apart With pireful
Results.

Bronson had never taken wire mat

Oregonian, bus he always thought he
could. The mattress was too big 10

except on the installment plan, aud
it had to so up there, the thing being
SO ordered by Mrs. Bronson. Bronson
examined the mattress and found that
it was composed of four modified
scantlings, framed together by bolts
and kept firm by the wire web. He
diagnosed the case as one requiring a
monkey-wrench. He noticed that the
nuts on the bolt turned hard. but said
that they were rusty. and a little
patience would conquer. When the
nuts finally came off the two end
frames flew together like long-lost
sisters, and shut Bronson up in the
folds of the web like a salmon in a
gillnet. He got out after a while,
and when he had expressed himself
succinctly carried the mattress up
stairs, where he set about putting it
together again. To his great surprise
he found that the web had shrunk
about four sizes and that the frames
refused to resume their former posi-
tions He tugged and hauled for a
while, but the sticks had an irritating
habit of wrenching themselves out
of his grasp and joining forces, and he
always happened to be in the trajec-
tory of one of them. At last he
nailed two of the scantlings to the
floor and began drawing the other two
into their places. Mrs. Bronson here
entered the struggle, but still further
achievements were required, and the
children came. The family lined up
along one stick and pulled till Bron-
son strained his wrist, and let go.
Then the web got in its work, and two
children were thrown violently to the
ceiling. while Mrs. Bronson, caught
by the escaping frame, was knocked
breathless. Bronson said few things
gathered up the children and renewed
the attempt But the esprit de corps
was gone from the community efforts
and after few further trials, in
which the list of injured was like
that of an excursion train accident
Bronson summoned a neighbor. The
two men toiled all the afternoon, hnt
then the neighbor let go of the strain
ing web at the wrong time. 1t wa!

that lions were in the neighborhood,
he insisted upon having the carcass
OF boar placed as bait not far from
