Natures Cures for Ills

"When the Adirondack native be-

Gus trifling ills which make mankind
wretched," said the returned visitor,

Gravel weed, by which name they
insult trailing arbutus, is excellent

a little summer savory, is efficacious

A Dentists Advice.

Toledo, Ohio, Jan. 25th.-Mr. Harry
l.. Lewis, Dentist, COZ Sumit street,
this city, says: Il certainly advise
anyone, no matter how severe they
may have Kidney Trouble, to take
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
II was troubled with Kidney Dis
ease for several years and Dodd's Kid
ney Pills cured me. I had used
many so-called remedies without any
benefit. Four months ago I was fat
on my back with this painful trouble
and must say that I almost gave up
hopes of ever getting any better.
Through friends advice purchased
six bottles Of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
AT first could see but little bene-
fit, but after two weeks, could see
an improvement. l had been getting
up several times at night and pains
in my back were very severe. When
I had taken six boxes I felt better
than I had for years. The pain had
all gone and I didn't have to get up
during the night at all. I continued
the treatment until had used several
more boxes, and now I am glad to
say that am completely cured"

From an Indian LeQend

Il have been favored with an Indian
tradition concerning the origin of to-
bacco, Indian corn and wheat, which,
although you may have seen it before;

of all the Pascagoulas at the Grune-
valid yesterday.
AT some distant period, two Indian
youths, pursuing the pleasures of the
chase, were led to remote and unfre-
quented part of the forest, where, be-
ing fatigued and hungry they sat down
to rest themselves and to dress their
victuals. While they were thus en-

TELEPHONES At TABLE.

To Keep in Touch With Business Dur.
ing Lunch Hours.
What is described as the latest lux
ury-although to many people it
would seem an intolerable nuisance
is the lunch table telephone. Placed
on restaurant tables, when ordered by
customers, it serves to keep them in
touch with their business or social
connections.
The merchant during his luncheon
hour can thus be kept in communica-
ton with his Office, or when dining at
the restaurant in the evening can book
seats for the theater or make appoint
ments with his friends.
In this way, it is claimed, busy men
can utilize the time during which they
are waiting for their meals to be
served, and be kept constantly advised
of the progress of important CONNER
cial transactions, the rise and fall of
stocks, and the like.-Cassells.

DR.. FED HIMSELF.

Found the Food that Saved His Life,
A good old family physician with a
lifetime experience in saving people
finally found himself sick unto death.
Medicines failed, and-but let him
tell his own story. For the first
time in my life of sixty-one
years I am impelled to pub
licly testify to the value of a largely
advertised article and I certainly
would not pen these lines except that,
what seems to me direct act OF
Providence, saved my life and / am
impressed that it is a bounden duty
to make it known.
For 3 years I kept failing with

clans advised me to put my house in

turn to health and really saved my
life.

against writing such a letter, but in
this case I am willing to declare IL
from the housetops that the multi
piled thousands who are now suffering
