came back and straightway came
telegram TO return his dog, which /
did at once. In a few days back came
Tige again, and another message from
our president (?) TO return his dog.
And those proceedings kept up until
Tige had come back eleven times and
as | was Grating him for shipment for
the twelfth time, to my utter aston
ishment Tige gave me the most plead

William Mcbride. Or. Lines, the at
tending physician, says:
Scarlet fever of very malignant
type brought this child very near to
death, and when the fever left him he
was semi-paralyzed in the right leg
and right arm. He also lost hearing
in his right ear and his mind was
much affected.
His parents tried another treat
ment for a time, and when | was re-
called | found that he was having
spells very like Epilepsy and was very
bad and gradually growing worse. |
advised the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills
and in short time the child began to
improve. Inside of week the nerv-
Gus spasms or epileptic seizures
ceased altogether"
Mr.. and Mrs. Mcbride have made a
sworn statement of the facts and DIR.
Jesse i. Lines has added his sworn
statement, saying that Dodd's Kidney
Pills and nothing else cured the fits.

vAsELlNE.

Everybody knows the great value CT this
remedy in the household, bat everybody
does not know that the limitations Of ",
which some second class druggists dishon-
orally palm of on thqir customers, have
little or no value What should be under
stood by tho public Is, that it Is not mere
question of comparative value between
s'Vaseline" and the limitations, but that the
limitations do not effect the wonderful heal
ing results of the world renowned Vase
line,m and that they are not tho same thing
nor made in the same way. Besides this,
many Of the limitations are harmful, irri-
tant and not safe to use, while true Vase
line is perfectly harmless.
Perfect safety therefore lies in buying
only original bottles and other packages put
up by the Chesebrough Manufacturing Co.
Attention is called to their Capsicum Vase
line advertised in another column
