ITCHING NOSE A PERIL.

Exc Congressman Bell used to tell a story

The passengers were ranged in a row out.

titude being enforced by a gun in the
hands of one of the gentlemen of the road
while the other went through the various
pockets at his leisure.
In the midst of the ceremony Mr.. Bells
nose began to itch with that maddening
persistency calculated to drive to insanity
or the grave if not relieved. I~nvoluntarily
his right hand began to lower itself to the
seat OF troubles.
Hands up there!" called the man be.
hind the gun, sternly.
His hand shot back into place, but in q
moment began to lower itself again.

longer" said Mr.. Bell. 1--WE simply got
to scratch it,"
No, you hain't," replied the agent, "be-

With which he proceeded to scratch the
prospective congressional nose with the

The Mcbride Case Again,

st. John, Kan, Oct. 26.-Mr. and Mrs
William Mcbride and Jesse L. Lines, NJ.
D., have gone , before Mr.. George E.
Moore. Notary Public, and have sworn
and subscribed to written statements con-
hrming the story of the awful illness and
subsequent cure of the little son of Mr..
and Mrs. Mcbride.
Dr.. Lines is particularly emphatic in
his statement, and there does not now
seem to be any room for doubt as to the
fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills, and moth
ing else, saved the little boy.
He was so bad that he had Epileptic
spells which seized him with increasing
frequency. He was semi-paralyzed in the
right side, and his mind was badly af-
fected.
In their sworn statement, Mr.. and Mrs.
Mcbride say:
1.-THE very day we began to use Dodd's
Kidney Pills our boy had twenty-seven of
these Epileptic spells or fits. In less than
a week he ceased having them entirely"
The case has caused a great sensation
in the neighborhood. The sworn state
ments have confirmed the whole story.
