OF Wide interest.

Breed, Wis, July Especial
Charles Y. Peterson, Justice of the
Peace for Oconto Co. has delivered
a judgment that is of interest to the
whole United States. Put briefly, that
judgment is. "Dodd's Kidney Pills are
the best Kidney medicine on the mar,
ket today"
And Mr.. Peterson gives his reason
for this judgment. He says: Last
winter | had an aching pain in my
back which troubled me very much.

was but an advertisement led me to
try Dodd's Kidney Pills. After taking

symptoms Of Kidney disease. II not

develop into Brlghts Disease, Dia,

other deadly forms of Kidney Disease.

SAID CABLE WOULDN'T SINK.
Many Persons Thought Water Was
Too Dense

When 1t was first proposed to lay
marine cable many intelligent people
said 1t would not sink to the bottom.
but would remain suspended at GER
tain depth because of the density of
the water due to pressure from above.
OF course the pressure increases with
the depth on all sides of the cable in
its descent through the sea, but as
practically everything on earth is
more compressible than water 1t
is obvious that the iron wire,
yarn, gutta.pereha and copper con-
ductor forming the cable must be
more compressed as they descend.
Thus the cable constantly increases
in density, or specific gravity. in go-
ing down, while the equal bulk OF wa
ter surrounding it continues to have,
practically speaking, very nearly the
same specific gravity as at the sur
face. Without this valuable property
Of water the hydraulic press would
not exist.
