For GROWING Girls.

West Pembroke, Me-. March 21--
Mrs. A. l.. Smith of this place, says
that Dodds Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs.
Smith emphasizes her recommends
ton by the following experience:
my daughter was thirteen years
old last November and it is now two
years since she was first taken with
Crazy Spells that would last week
and would then pass off. In a month
she would have the spells again. At
these times she would eat very little
and was very yellow, even the whites
Of her eyes would be yellow.
1.-The doctors gave us no encour.
agement. they all said they could not
help her. After taking one box OF
Dodds Kidney Pills, she has not had
one bad spell. OF course, we contin-
ued the treatment until she had used
in all about a dozen boxes, and we
still give them to her occasionally,
when she is not feeling well. Dodd's
Kidney Pills are certainly the best
medicine for growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice of
Mrs. Smith, for by so doing they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and insure a healthy, happy
future for them.

The greatest dangers

Little, harmless things make people

Can we exercise our muscle-mind in
a way to be toughened to the point OF
resisting any kind of unexpected
events?
Have you tried tests with others,
either games or exercises, to grow a
self.control that retains itself before

Children seem to be naturally In

train each other in self-control.
Wise adults get their best informa.
