to say which will be of interest to

so claims personal experience in proof
of his method.
Mr.. Colson says
II had awful pains in my hip. They
got so bad at last that could hardly
walk. | tried several things, but got
no relief till I began to use Dodd's
Kidney Pills and had taken but a
few of these pills till the pain left
me entirely.

Let waste despoil her form
The quaint old ship whose fame was won
Amid the battles storm.
Stop-stop the ceaseless tooth OF Time
Her ancient strength restore:
And then with masts. sails rigging
clothe
"Old Ironsdes" once more.
Give her the likeness, through and
through,
She wore In days when she
Was stanch, indeed. and fair. and knew
Lol only victory!
Give her her guns OF laundering voice,
And certainly! Give her
Her flag too. that she may rejoice,
And feel the old heart-stir.
AS when she rode the dashng wave,
The foeman's pride laid low,
And saved the country in the brave,
Young years of long ago.
Then anchor her safe by the town
That lives through her to-day.
And let the glorious deeds go down
A heritage for aye!
