Still Another Case.

Franksville, Wis, Oct. 12th.-Many
remarkable cures are being reported
from all over the country but there
IS one right here in Franksville which
is certainly worth publishing, and
which has not as yet been given to
the public.
Mrs. Louis Markison of this place
had been sick woman for quite a
long time and could not find anything
to give her any help She suffered all
the painful symptoms of what is gen.
orally known as female weakness.
Every woman who reads her story
will understand these distressing con-
ditions which combine to make the
lives Of many women one long bur-
den of weakness and suffering.
Mrs. Markison CHANGED one day to
hear OF new remedy called Dodd's
Kidney Pills, that was said to be a
splendid medicine for women's weak
ness. She determined to try some
and soon found herself getting better.
She kept on with the pills and was
cured. Speaking OF her case, Mrs.
Markison says
Il can and do praise Dodd's Kidney
Pills as remedy for female weakness.
They are the best medicine I have
ever known, and have done me a
great deal Of good"

Trousers are pressed turned up in

PARIS NEW SLANG WORD.
Called Into Being by the Death os
Pope Leo

Called Into Being by the Death o.
Pope Leo.
The death of the pope has enriched
the argot of Paris with a new word.
A policeman is 'camerlengo." The
first constable who heard himself ad-
dressed by that epithet was indeed
nonplussed, quite as much as the gen.
darme who was called Centurion"
But the motto of the Paris police is
When in doubt, arrest your man."
and in this case the innovator spent
few hours at the police station be-
fore being released. According to one
authority, the connection between a
policeman and a camerlengo is to be
found in the silver hammer used to
thrice strike the deceased pope's brow.
A policeman is "cogne," 1. g., he
who strikes-and this furnishes the
connecting link. However that may
be, the fact remains that the word Is
now In common use, and in every
street squabble at present some one
is sure to shout, "Eh, va dono, Gamer.
