Il was laid up with some kind of pains.
Some said it was Lumbago, others Sciatica,
and others again Rheumatism. A few of
my friends suggested that it was lead
poison, but whatever it was it gave me a
great deal of pain. in fact, almost COM
pletely crippled me. | had to use two
canes to walk about and even then it was
very painful task.
"a friend advised me to try Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and | began the treatment. After
/ had used the first box | was able TO
throw away one of the canes and was con-
siderably improved. The second box

AND he GOT IT.


An indulgent mother of the Tuxedo col.
ony was travelling on local train one day
in company with her three-year-old son,
his nursemaid, and copy Of society
magazine which absorbed her attention,
relates the New York Times. The son
was occupying the seat behind her with
his attendant, who attempted every once
in awhile to curb his restless and rebel
llous spirit by gentle denial of his lat
est whim, but each time the mother, no
ticing only that some argument was in
progress, and without looking up from
her book, would remark: Let him have
1t.
The nursemaid thereupon would yield
to this double demand.
Finally strong and rather venomous
looking wasp flew against the window
pane, and the youthful hunter reached out
to grasp it, and walled dejectedly when
he was once more restrained by the watch
full caretaker Again the fond mother,
without raising her eyes, exclaimed:
oh, do let him have it,"
And the howl which followed the
nurses compliance caused an amused
smile to pass around the car.

I A GRIPPE is epidemic catarrh. 1t
II spares no class or nationality. The

PILL TRADE MARK INITIATED.
Druggist and Clerk Are Held i'm BAIL
for Court

Charged with infringing upon the trade
mark of Carter's Little Liver Pill Com
pany, Joseph L. Griffith, a druggist at the
southeast corner of Eleventh and Vine
streets, was held in $500 bail for Court
this afternoon by Magistrate Jermo On, and
at the same time Griffith's clerk, Joseph
G. Fore, was held in $500 bail for Court on
the same charge, and also for selling GER
tain articles the sale of which is prohibited
by law.
The men were arrested this morning
upon warrants issued by Magistrate Jer-
mon at the instance of Brent Good, No.

and Charles G. circuit, No. II Jumel Ter
race, New York, representatives of the
Carter Company. They stated that the
latter had spent $3,OO00O0 in advertising
and getting their label known, and did not
purpose to permit others to reap the bena-
fits.
The label in question is small one con-
tanning large letter l., and the one used
by Griffith is an exact copy, except that it
does not contain Carriers name.
The prosecution showed how easily the
imitation product could be palmed off on
the would-be purchaser of Carriers pills,
owing to the similarity of the labels, and
held that it was evidence of deliberate
attempt to deceive.-Philadelp Tele-
