SAVED chILD's LIFE.
A Remarkable Cure Of Dropsy by Dodd's
Kidney pills.

= sedgw lex. Ark, July 1.-THE case
Of W. s. Taylor's little son is looked
upon by those interested in medical
matters as one of the most wonderful
on record. In this connection his faith
er makes the following statement;
'Last September, my little boy had
dropsy; his feet and limbs were
swollen to such an extent that he could
not walk or put his shoes on. The
treatment that the doctors were giving
him seemed to do him no good and two
or three people said his days were
short, even the doctors, two Of the best
in the country told me he would not
get better. l stopped their medicine
and at once sent for Dodd's Kidney
Pills. gave him three pills a day,
one morning. noon and night for eight
DAVIS; at the end of the eighth day the
swelling was all gone, but to give the
medicine justice, / gave him eleven
more pills. l used thirty-five pills in
all and he was entirely cured. 1 con-
slider your medicine saved my child's
life. When the thirty-five pills were
given him, he could run, dance and
sing, whereas before he was an invalid
in his mothers arms from morning
until night"

EVERY HOUR HAS ITS USES.
How a Lawyer Utilizes His Time from
Early Morn to Dewy Eve.


know a prominent New York cor
pOration lawyer who is out Of bed at
8 o'clock in the morning and after
taking exercise is ready for breakfast
at $50. He is at his office in Wall
street at o'clock. His secretary and
his stenographer await him. Dicta-
ton begins at once Of the rough out
line of a brief to be prepared. He
follows this with debating memoran-
da for his clerks, specifying certain
questions of law and OF fact which
he desires looked into during the day.
At Q o'clock he reads and answers
important letters which his secretary
has sorted out for his attention. At
$3.50 he is ready for consultations with
clients. From that time until 4 or 5
o'clock in the afternoon he is in con-
tinuous attendance either before
courts generally OF appellate jurisdic-
tom, at meetings Of boards Of direct
ors or in consultation.
At perhaps 4:30 o'clock the lawyer
is ready to receive reports from his
clerks. They are required to report
solely upon the point intrusted to
them. Little or nothing is left to their
judgment or discretion. 1t is merely
desired to know what the law and the
cases are upon some particular point
They are expected to report accurate
ly, concisely and quickly. This mis-
cellaneous work continues until per
haps $50 o'clock, when the days la
Dor downtown is at an end.

time consumed in going home. Dur

fact that the sun and other celestial

"of common usage among those inter

thing in that, perhaps, but not much, In
our opinion, and the doctor does muen
