Sir Morell, when he saw that he had
been called in to treat a dog, didn't
like 1t much, it was plain. But he
said nothing. He prescribed. pocket
ed a big fee and drove away.
The next day he sent post haste
for Whistler. And Whistler thinking
he was summoned on some matter
connected with his beloved dog, drop
ped his work and rushed like the

A Farmer Found II.

Mount Pleasant, Utah, May 23.-To
fnd medicine that will cure every
ailment due to diseased or disordered
Kidneys has been the aim Of many
physicians and chemists.
Mr.. c. E. Peterson, a farmer of this
place says he has found such a rem
edy and that he has tried it with sucl
cess in his own case Mr.. Peterson
says the remedy is Dodd's Kidney
Pills, medicine introduced here
about seven months ago.
Il am glad to be allowed to testify
to what good things Dodd's Kidney
Pills have done for me. l used this
remedy for Kidney trouble and it
cured me completely.
II can heartily recommend Dodd's
Kidney Pills to all who suffer with
any kind of Kidney trouble"
Mr.. Peterson's case is only one of
many just as convincing that have
been reported recently. This new rem
edy seems to have conquered Rheu-
matism completely, not single case
having been reported where Dodd's
Kidney Pills have failed to cure per-
tectly and permanently.

According to the Yorkshire Post
the question of offertory bags or
plates is receiving earnest considera.
don among church officers in that
part OF England. II says: THE vicar,
the Rev. J. L. saywell. presided at the
Easter vestry of st. Paul's church
stsnningley, held yesterday. The
vicar. after the officers had been elect.
cd. expressed himself in favor of dis.
carding the bags used for taking the
offertories and the introduction OF
open dishes. Bags, he said. offered a
strong temptation to some members
OF the congregation to practice mig.
gardliness."
