Fill I'D the Glass,

An English physician, writing in the
Gentleman's Magazine says it is mis-
take to suppose that to drink with
meals is injurious or that it makes
people stout. In the case of the Ger
mans the stoutness, he thinks, is prob
ably caused by the drinking of great
quantities Of thin beer both at and |,
tween meals; and beer, it appears to
be admitted on all hands, is fattening.
Regarding the yearly exodus to foreign
watering places, the physician quotes
the dictum of a celebrated French
physician at one of these places, who
said, pointing to a crowd at the well:
These people would do just as well
at home if they would get up at in
the morning, drink the same amount of
water and walk as many miles a day
as they do here"

Easy to Get.

Pierpont, O.. Oct. 5.-Remarkable in
deed is the experience of Mr.. A. S.
Turner, a man now over seventy-one
years of age, and whose home is here.
For many years this old gentleman
had suffered with very unpleasant
form of Kidney Trouble, a kind that
very often. bothers aged people. He
would have to get up four or five times
every night. and this very tiresome dis
ease was fast wearing him out.
At last after having almost made up
his mind that he would never be able
to get relief. he stumbled over medi-
cine which relieved him almost imme-
diately, and has cured him permanent
iy. 1t is so very easy to get and so
simple that Mr.. Turner thinks every
one should know of it. Every dealer
in the country has it, and all you have
to do is to ask for Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Mr.. Turner says:
IL can heartily and honestly recon-
mend Dodds Kidney Pills for they
cured me. Several others in the fam
lily have used them, too. and always
with the best results. think they have
no equal"

Pills when / noticed warnings of at
