the Coptic faith of his fathers is rather
corruption of the doctrines that pre-
vail farther west. Anyhow, he's q good
Judge of beasts. Meneiik's zebra, which
s to go with the other animals to the
Washington geological park, is called
the biggest in the world. AS the zebra
is now almost extinct in Africa, where
SO little time ago it roamed by the thou
sands, the experiment is to be tried Of
crossing the animal with sturdy mares.
The hybrid thus obtained promises to
be valuable in subtropical climates
where the horse is subject to disease.
The ha1f-zebra should be useful in the
Tsetse fly districts of Africa. Mr.. Ellis,
who has brought over the animals, says
these experiments will be in the charge
Of army officers.

Hartman received the following letter:
" My wife has been sufferer from a
complication of diseases for the past
twenty-five years. Her case has bafded
the skill Of some Of the most noted ply

chronic constipation Of several years

her case. You advised q course OF
Peruna and Mana1in, which we at once

Reads Like a Miracle.

Moravia, N. Y, Dec. l2th-(speciaD-
Bordering on the miraculous is the case
of Mrs. Benz. Wilson, of this place. suf-
fering from Sugar Diabetes, she wasted
away till from weighing 900 lbs. she
barely tipped the scales at $50 lbs. Dodd's
Kidney Pills cured her. Speaking of her
cure her husband says:
MY wife suffered everything from
Sugar Diabetes. She was sick four years
and doetored with two doctors, but re-
ceived no benefit. She had SO much pain
all over her that she could not rest day
or night. The doctor said that she could
not live.
Then an advertisement led me to try
Dodds Kidney Pills and they helped her
right from the first. Five boxes of them
cured her. Dodd's Kidney Pills were a
God-sent remedy to us and we recon-
mend them to all suffering from Kidney
Disease"
Dodd's Kidney Pills cure all Kidney
Diseases, including Bright's Disease, and
all kidney aches, including Rheumatism.

Why Old People arc Especially Liable
TO Systemic CatarrEa.
When old age comes on, catarrhal dis
eases come also. Systemic eatarrh is
almost universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so indispensable to old people. Perunta
is their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that entirely meets
these cases. Nothing but an effective
systemic remedy can cure them.
