A Farmer Found IL.

Mount Pleasant, Utah, May 23.-To
find medicine that will cure every all
ment due to diseased or disordered Kid
neys has been the aim of many physi-
clans and chemists.
Mr.. G. E. Peterson, farmer of this
place says he has found such remedy
and that he has tried it with success in
his own case. Mr.. Peterson says the
remedy is Dodd's Kidney Pills, medi-
cine introduced here about seven
months ago.
81 am glad to be allowed to testify to
what good things Dodd's Kidney Pills
have done for me. l used this remedy
for Kidney trouble and it cured me
completely.
81 can heartily recommend Dodd's
Kidney Pills to all who suffer with
any kind of Kidney trouble"
Mr.. Peterson's case is only one of
many just as convincing that have been
reported recently. This new remedy
seems to have conquered Rheumatism
completely, not single case having
been reported where Dodd's kidney

What tea is to the Englishman and
coffee to the American, yerba-mate Is
to the native of Paraguay. Ierba-
mate is an infusion Of the dried and
powdered leaves of the species OF
holly tree that grows in Paraguay,
and for centuries it has been the
national beverage Of the countries OF
South America, while in Paraguay
and Argentina it forms the sole slim
ulant OF the working classes. 1t Is
usually drunk as very hot infusion
through metal tube, but 1t can be
taken as we take tea and coffee, with
milk and sugar.
Most people, however, acquire the
native habit and prefer to drink 1t
without admixture. So prepared 1t is
very bitter, but those who drink 1t
soon learn to consider it an agreeable
and palatable beverage. Some ma
tives drink it as an infusion made
with cold water, and it is then known
by the name Of "terere." The work
ing classes especially favor "terere,"
and the stimulating and sustaining
effects OF the beverage are remark
able.
Workmen carry the drink with them
wherever they go, and from time to
time take sips Of 1t, and seem as
result to be infused with degree OF

1t is a tribute to American ingenu-
