A Druggists Story.

Coelledo, Mo-, June 6.-Mr. Adolph
Gerhardt, Chemist and Druggist of this
place, was so i'll with his back and kidneys
that he couldn't work. He was very bad
and did not seem TO get any better till
he began to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. He
was so delighted with the results he got
from this remedy that he wrote.-
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are God-send to
back from Kidney Trouble so % bad that
was unable to work. | began to use
Dodd's Kidney Pills and before / had
finished one box, l was able to go to work
again. / have not had any Kidney Trouble
since | viii always recommend Dodd's
Kidney Pills"
Many such cases are being reported from
all over the state and Dodd's Kidney Pills,
solely on their merits and by the wonder
full and perfect cures they work, are
established as the standard remedy for
Backache and all Kidney Complaints.

POINTS ABOUT SUFFERING.
Seldom Begins in Adult Life and Boys
Are More often Affected
Than Girls.

Suffering is defined in medical
books as ga spasmodic affection of
the muscles concerned in artieula-
ton, occasioned by erroneous
nervous control, leading to sud
den check in the utterance of
words or to a rapid repetition of
the literal sound in connection
with which the difficulty arises"
This, says Youths Companion,
is an example of a waste of good
words in defining what we already
know without definition. What
the stutterer wants to know is not
what he is doing, but how he can
stop doing it.
Suffering almost always dates
from childhood, being often first
noticed after some serious illness,
such as scarlet fever or measles.
1t seldom begins in adult life, al
though grown man who used to
stutter as a child and has reeov-
cred, may suffer a relapse when
run down in health or worried in
business. 1t is curious fact that
girls stutter much more rarely
than boys, but why this is so has
never been satisfactorily ex-
planned. Those who have attempt.
ed to account for it usually drag in
some ungallant allusion to the
fiexibility of woman's tongue.
What causes boy to stutter is
a mystery. The sufferers are usu-
ally of nervous disposition, and
are often diffident and self-con-
scious-but it is hard to say
whether the self-consciousness is
cause or result of the defect.
Unconscious imitation of slut
tering playmate may be a cause.
Sometimes adenoid growths in the
pharnyx or a malformati ton of the
roof of the mouth are contribu-
tory causes, and correction of the
defect may result in cure. Such
an instance was recently brought
to notice by correspondent,
suffering boy who had lost the
the habit after strengthening Of
the teeth had widened the cavity
of the mouth. The usual treat
ment consists in properly con-
Quoted reading, speaking and
breathing exercises, which must
be modified to suit the individual
case. Every suffering school
boy has been told that the great
est orator of Greece cured himself
by speaking with mouth full Of
pebbles. If Demosthenes sue.
ceeded in that way, his success
was due to his painstaking rather
than to the pebbles.

CAPTURING cRocoDILES.
Exciting Experiences of Hunter of
the Saurians in African
Swamps.

A hunter in Africa tells some
stories about croeodiles. He saws:
Gone afternoon | went out to hunt
lechwe "a kind of antelope, which
were plentiful in the swamps. l
wounded one splendid bull and
gave chase, accompanied by two
boys. We followed it across one
or two channels, and finally the
boy who was leading caught it up
in an arm of the stream about two
feet deep. As he was holding on
to the buck a crocodile-attract-
ed, no doubt, by the blood which
flowed from the wounded animal
shot up and seized the boy by
the leg below the knee. He hung
on to the other boy, who had come
up, and | arrived to the accompan-
ment of yells. Fortunately the
crocodile was only small one and
we managed to get the boy from
him. The lechwe meantime made
his escape, and | sent back to camp
for men to carry in the wounded
native. His leg was badly LAGER
ated, but with careful treatment
he recovered soon"
OF another crocodile, which
measured II feet in length and
which this same hunter shot, he
writes; ION cutting him open he
was found to contain the remains
of an Mpala ram with horns in
tact, which he had probably
caught while it was drinking. On
one occasion | cut up a crocodile
which contained no less than 40
bangles of ivory and copper, show
ing that he had swallowed one or
more natives, so always get the
boys to cut up any we shoot. They
are loathsome reptiles, and new
er consider shot at them wasted.
Many a native while drawing wa
ter after dark is caught by the
arm and dragged into the river. A
fine old hunting dog which
had served me two years was
caught by a crocodile right I'M
der my nose one day in a small
stream, where he had gone to
drink after running down a
wounded puku."
This hunter also writes: every
good sport is had by fishing for
croeodiles in the following way:
\ piece of wood, about two inches
thick and II inches long, is sharp.
ened at both ends and attached by
the middle to a stout line. To the
other end of the line is fixed a float.
a lump of meat is, or the entrails
of buck are, tied on the sharp
ened stick, and the whole thino
thrown into the river and allowed
to float down with the current.
The crocodile swallows the bait
and away goes the float along the
surface. Then a rush out with q
canoe and a pull on the line fixes
the pointed piece of wood in his
gullet. is necessary to shoot or
spear him as he struggles on the
surface, as he is much too heavy
and strong to land like a fish,"
