For GROWING Girls.

West Pembroke, Me-, April "a
Mrs. A. l.. Smith, of this place, says
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs. Smith
emphasizes her recommendation by
the following experience:
my daughter was thirteen years old
last November and it is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last week and
would then pass off. In month she
would have the spells again. At these
times she would eat very little and
was very yellow; even the whites OF
her eyes would be yellow.
THE doctors gave us no encourage
ment, they all said they could not help
her. After taking one box of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad
spell. OF course, we continued the
treatment until she had used in all
about dozen boxes, and we still give
them to her occasionally, when she is
not feeling well. Dodd's Kidney Pills
are certainly the best medicine for
growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice OF
Mrs. Smith, for by so doing. they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and ensure healthy, happy
future for them.

Petrol Enuine Works Wonders.


AS q result of a recent trial on the
Thames OF little petrol boat which
developed speed considerably in eX'
cess of any other vessel of equal
length, the means OF propulsion OF
sea-going vessels and the lines on
which they are built may undergo
radical changes in the next few years.
Its inventor, working on the theory
that the power exerted by engines
were better devoted to supporting the
boat on the surface than to pushing
1t through the water, after numerous
experiments with differently shaped
full size models, designed n petrol
boat with practically fat bottom.
The gain in llghtness of engine and
fuel by the substitution of the inter-
nal combustion petrol engine for
steam enabled forty-foot boat to at
tain a speed Of twenty-six knots, and
the inventor estimates that 22Ofoot
destroyer with petrol engines would
reach a speed Of forty-five knots. The
perfection OF the internal combustion
engine, enabling larger sizes to be
used successfully at sea, remains to
oe accomplished, but the physical and
mechanical difficulties to be overcome
hold out sufficient rewards to awaken
energetic studious effort.
