CASE NO. 30,Gi1.-C. T.. Boies, dealer
in grain and feed, sos South Water
street, Akron, O., made the following
statement in 1896; he said: Ever
since the Civil War I have had attacks
of kidney and bladder trouble, decid-
edly worse during the last two or three
years. Although l consulted physi-
clans. some of whom told me I was
verging on Bright's disease, and was
continually using standard remedies,
the excruciating aching just across the
kidneys, which radiated to the shoul-
der blades, still existed. As might be
expected when my kidneys were in n
disturbed condition, there was dis
tresslng and inconvenient difficulty
tions. A box of Doans Kidney Pills,
procured at Lamparter g. Co.'S drug
store, brought such a decided change
within a week that / continued the
treatment. The last attack. and 1t was
particularly aggravated. disappeared.
Three Years After.
Mr.. Boies says in 1899: "In the
spring of 1896 1 made a public state
nkent of my experience with Doan's
Kidney Pills. This remedy cured me
of terrible aching in the kidneys. il
the small of my back, in the muscles
of the shoulder blades, and in the
limbs. During the years that have
gone by l can conscientiously say there
have been no occurrences of my old
trouble. My confidence in Doan's Kid
ney Pills is stronger than ever, moi
only from my personal experience
but from the experience of many 9th
ers In Akron which have come to my
notice"

I" l hired girl TO mind the chill
dren and to do whatever else she
could. i couldn't stay in bed long.
Sick as / was, it was easier for me
to crawl around than to lie and
worry about my little ones. So
got up after few days, and let
the girl go. I had noticed that she
had sores on her face, hands and
arms, but paid no attention to that
until Charlie, my youngest, began 10
pick and scratch himself. He was
then ten months old, and the girl
had paid more attention to him than
TO any of the others Charlie was fret
full and cross, but as he was cutting
teeth, l didn't think much of that.
Even when a rash broke out on his
face l wasn't frightened, because
everybody knows that that is quite
common with teething babies. Sew
eral of my others had it when little,
and thought nothing about it.
But the rash on Charles poor
little face spread to his neck, chest,
and back. / had never seen any
thing quite like il before. The skin
rose in little Jumps, and matter
came out. My baby's skin was hot,
and how he did suffer He wouldn't
eat, and night after night walked
the floor with him, weak as / was.
Often l had to stop because / felt
faint and my back throbbed with
pain. But the worst pain of all was
to see my poor little boy burning
with those nasty sores.
~ believed he had caught some
disease from the girl, but some of
the neighbors said he had eczema,
al that is not catching. they told
me, Yes, gave him medicine, and
put salves and things on him. l
don't think they were all useless.
Once in while the itching seemed
to let up bit, but there was not
much change for the better until a
lady across the street asked me why
l didn't try the Cuticura Remedies.
/ told her had no faith in those
things you read about in the papers.

on faith nor even TO spend any
money at first. She gave me some

The most unique reason given for
not inviting religious body to.a
city comes from our istercity across
the country, Charlottesville. The
Presbyterian church at that place
considered the propriety OF inviting
the Virginia Synod to hold its next
session there, but declined to extend
the invitation because OF the local
difficulty Of obtaining good cooks.
1t might be well for Charlottesville,
in its dilemma, to follow The example
OF some Of our northern cities and
add cooking TO the curriculum OF its
public schools. In that way it could
soon have a crop OF fine cooks.
