Quite a sensation has been created here
by the publication Of the story of G..

ment for three months, was PROSTATE

Brights Disease. Bright's Disease has
always been considered incurable but
evidently from the story told by Mr.
Gray there is-a remedy which will cure
it even in the most advanced stages.
This is what he says:
Il was helpless as a little babe. My
wife and [ searched everything and
read everything we could find about
Bright's Disease, hoping that | would
be able to find remedy. After many
failures my wife insisted that I should
try Dodd's Kidney Pills. I praise God

case and in a short time I was able to
get out Of bed, and after Il few weeks
treatment [ was a strong, we'll man.

penitentiary at Folsom since the big

of the day, and Warden Archibald Yell
has not been q bit squeamish in the Wig
orous methods he has adopted to keep his
800 desperate wards in line. Guards
have learned to shoot, to shoot straight,
and to shoot quickly. Dead line means
warning of death NOWADAYS to the dis
obedient stripe wearers. For example:
In the prison yard where the outbreak
occurred the dead lines have been closely
drawn. To step over the mark means
something serious. One Sunday after
noon recently convicts were playing
baseball in the yard. A batted ball
rolled over the danger line A convict
ran thoughtlessly and was in the bullet
zone before he realized. From the over
looking guard post came sharp order
Back inside the line or | will shoot"
The convict jumped as if he felt the
bullet. The game continued. A second
time the ball sped across the line Heed
lessly q player ran. AS he bent down to
pick up the sphere crack sounded a rifle
shot.

were doomed to be neither long nor peace
full, for presently heard something NOV

was sleeping. 1t was mouse. In my
anger | ripped open the whole bed stuff
and found whole bunch of mice.
II had to stay IL that town two weeks.
I was distressed, and in my woe / went
out and bought a feather bed, a lot Of

this I have carried those bedclothes with
