with the modesty OF the violets by
her side, the girl talked shyly of her
family affairs, and explained why it
would be impossible for her to accept
the many kind offers showered upon
her for home in big house, with serv-

Sault st. Marie, Mich, Aug l4th.-Mr.
G. L. Smith, painter and decorator,
whose home is at sos Anne street, this
city, makes the following statement
I was laid up with some kind Of
pains. Some said it was Lumbago, others
Sciatiea, and others again Rheumatism.
A few Of my friends suggested that it was
lead poison, but whatever it was it gave
me a great deal Of pain, in fact, almost
completely crippled me. I had to use two
canes to walk about, and even then it was
very painful task.
"a friend advised me to try Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and began the treatment.
After | had used the FIRST box was able
to throw away one Ct the canes and was
considerably improved. The second box
Strengthened me up SO that could go
about free from pain without any assist
ance, and very soon after was complete
" cured, well and happy, without pain
or an ache. Dodd's Kidney Pills seemed
to 60 right to the spot in my case, and
they will always have my greatest praise. !"
