Franksville. Wis, Oct. 12th.-Maay
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 a sick woman for quite a
long time and could not find anything
10 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 chanced one day to
hear Of a new remedy called Dodd's
Kidney Pills, that was said to be \
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 ass remedy for female weakness.
They are the best medicine l have
ever known, and have done me .

ORIGIN.
Of q F.mou. Human Food.

fhe Story of great discoveries or In
ventions is always of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack Of bodily
strength and vigor and could not
carry out the plans and enterprises
he knew how to conduct was led to
study various foods and their effects
upon the human -system. In other
words before he could carry out his
plans he had to ind food that wouis
carry him along and renew his physi-
cal and mental strength.
He knew tLat = food that was
brain and nerve builder. (rather than
mere fat maker3, was universally
needed. He knew that meat with the
average man does not accomplish the
desired results. He knew that the
soft gray substance in brain and
nerve centers is made from Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food. Then he started to solve
the problem. II
4 Careful and extensive experiments
Assoited Grape-N Nuts, the now famous
food. Grape-Nuts contain the brain
and nerve building food elements In
condition for easy digestion. The re-
suit Of eating Grape-Nuts daily Is
easily seen in a marked sturdiness
and activity of the brain and nervous
system. making 1t = pleasure for one
to carry on the daily duties without

NEW USE FOR pAonoeRAp4.
With II Physician Cures a Case
Without SeeInu Patient.

"a novel use for the phonograph
impressed me the other day. says a
clergyman in the Philadelphia Record.
Il was calling on my doctor and he
told me Of it then. He said patient
of his, while on visit to California,
had developed bad cough and feared
that this cough was of tubercular
nature. His heart also was weak and
he was anxious about that. too.
We'll, for the doctor to go all the
way to California would have been
expensive and for the patient to have
come to Philadelphia would have been
impossible. In the dilemma a phono-
graph was called in. The sick man
first talked into the phonograph all
his symptoms. Then he coughed be-
fore 1t, and then, with the help of an
instrument that highly magnifes'
sound, two or three minutes beating
of his disordered heart was registered
on the sensitive cylinder. -.
1.-THE outcome was wonderful. The
Philadelphia doctor, receiving the
phonograph record. ascertained that
his patients cough was not a con-
sumptive one, and that his heart was
not seriously affected. The doctor let
me listen to the record in his ONCE.
1t was impressive. First heard the
patient. In \ weak voice. detailing his
symptoms-a pain here, an ache there,
and so ON. Then heard him cough
ing. Then heard his heart pulsating
in an odd, irregular way.
Thanks to the phonograph,' the
doctor said. I diagnosed that case as
