Cooley, mean time, with remarkable

Reads Like a Miracle.

Friarspoint, Miss, Nov. 30.-The
butler case still continues to be the
talk Of the town. Mr. G.. L. Butler, the
father of the little boy, says:
THE doctor said my boy had disease
Of the spinal cord, and treated him
for two months, during which he got
worse all the time. Finally the doctor
told me he did not know what was the
trouble. The boy would wake up dur
ing the night and say that he was
dying. He would be nervous and trem-
bling and would want to run from the
house. saying he saw ugly things
which frightened him. After we had
tried everything else, read an adver-
tisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills as a
cure for Nervous Troubles. l pur-
chased some and used them until he
had taken altogether eight boxes when
be was sound and well with not q sin
gle symptom of the old trouble. This
was some months ago, and feel sure
hat he is permanently cured. We owe
% Dodd's Kidney Pills all the credit
or his restoration to good health"

SERIOUS EVIL OF THE DAY.


a Tendency to Exaggeration Becoming
All Too Common.
Exaggeration is one of the most Sc
rious evils of the day. 1t is common
IN all the walks Of life, people not be-
ing willing to see what is actually
before their eyes, but permitting their
inaginations to enlarge and extend
their view frequently to the limit OF
the mental horizon. Few will deny its
deleterious effect. Rumors On each
side OF the ocean for which there is
10 reasonable basis throw the country
INTO q state of unhealthy anxiety and
do positive harm at times OF serious
character. Very recent events have
strikingiy illustrated this. 1t is the
vogue, or 1t is temporary evil which
has seized upon the public, and there
does not appear to be any remedy ex-
cept to let it run its course like any
other epidemic and pass away.-Bal-
