A Happv Mother.

Maple Hill. Ia. May 30.-A very re-

anything like 1t and IL may interest
many others.
From his infancy, Verne, the little
fve-year-old son OF Mr. and Mrs. J.
Barfoot OF this place has been sickly.
His mother consulted a doctor, but he
did not begin to improve till some
one suggested that she try a remedy
called Dodds Kidney Pills. From un-
mistakable symptoms she had always
believed that his kidneys were the
first cause OF all the trouble. SO she
bought a box OF Dodd's Kidney Pills
and began giving little Verne two pills
a day.
In two or three days she noticed an
Improvement and she kept on till he
had used about two boxes when to
her great Joy he was all right. Every
body remarks how much better Verne
looks and Mrs Barfoot always ex-
plains, "Dodds Kidney Pills saved his
life"

Whence came oHumbuan2

The word "humbug has been
traced back to the title-page OF The
Universal Jester, being a collection
OF merry conceits. bon-mots and hum
bugs, by Ferdinando KillIgrew, Lon
don. 1850"
The following are the most plausi.
Bile and possible derivations:
In the time OF James II worthless
coin was minted at Dublin from a
soft, mixed metal which became
known as Tim bog. pronounced Dom

money
Others refer it to hum. in the sense
OF hoax, and bug. in the old sense OF

Others say II Is merely hum buzz

that il was first applied to Homberg.
