sIx Doctors Failed.

After suffering from Kidney Disease
for three years; after taking treat
ment from six different doctors with
out getting relief, Mr.. ]. o. Laudeman
Of this place found not only relief but
a speedy and complete cure in Dodd's
Kidney Pills. Speaking OF his cure
Mr.. Laudeman says:
Yes. suffered from Kidney
Trouble for three years and tried six
doctors to no good. Then took just
two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and
they not only cured my kidneys. but
gave me better health in general. OF
course l recommended Dodd's Kidney
Pills to others and / know a number
now who are using them with good re-
suits"
Mr.. Laudeman's case is not an ex-
ception. Thousands give similar ex-
periences. For there never yet was q
case OF Kidney Trouble from Backache
to Bright's Disease that Dodd's Kid
uey Pills could not cure. They are
the only remedy that ever cured

WHAT THE STOMACH oleesrs.
heterogeneous Materials Only Dealt with
by That Organ.

One curiosity of digestion is I'M
doubtedly that which has reference to
the work Of the stomach itself. The
popular notion that the stomach "di.
gests everything is utterly erroneous.
For the stomach has little or no power
to affect starches. sugars and fats, and
as these foods make up the bulk of our
daily nutriment 1t may therefore be
said that the organ In question plays
only small part In digestion. Yet
that part is important enough. fte
foods over which the stomach exerts
its power are what are called nitro
genous" materials. They are repre-
scented by beef-juice. white of egg AMI
milk and similar substances. Such
foods are changed by the stomach in
to ''petones." while the starch. sugar
and fat are passed onward to be di.
gested in the intestine.

A Recent Instance Proves That a

When the blood Is disordered every
organ OF the body is affected unfavor-

its Possession saId 10 Have Good
Effect on General Health.
Taste and smell are two senses we
do not cultivate enough; indeed hear.
ing. as we know in the case of the
BLING, can reach an acuteness which
the ordinary person is absolutely de
fcfent In. Both taste and smell have
great uses. Probably we should not
see people living in dirty and insani.
tary conditions SO blissfully were the
sense OF smell little more developed;
while taste. especially In women. is
often stigmatized as greediness. The
gourmet, to use French word, Is
not gormandizer, but a man whose
taste is aesthetically and exquisitely
trained. 1t is said that the Marechal
Due de Richelieu. who was a great
gastronomic connoisseur. possessed SO
fine taste as to be able to distin-
guish whether the breast Of a chicken
was cut from the side of the gall or
not. In the same way wine-tasters
can tell vintage instantly. Women
rather despise taste: they eat and
that is all. Yet taste was certainly
given US for good purpose. and no
one can order a dinner intellIgently
who has not cultivated his palate. The
food one likes and enjoys always
agrees with ones health better than
any other. and the faddist who would
reduce all diet to uniformity would
In time wreck the public digestion.
