 Mrs. F. 0. Prouty, School St. !, says: 1T was so crippled up with rheumatic pains it was necessary to use two canes to get about. My back never gave me any rest day or nght. When I was on my feet my back ached most. When sat down there were times when the pains became very sharp and couldn't turn in bed without being seized by that pain. Mornings couldn't straighten up at all for a while. Sudden spells of dizzness. pains in my head and spots before my eyes were frequent. l finally got Doan's Kidney Pills and they relieved me of the lameness and pains and all the other symptoms I am now as active as any body.

 OBITUARY.
 The following Is the speech of the hon orary president, Alfredo Bernardo, of the Italian society, delivered at the time Ot the burial of the deceased member, Peter Cini :-
 Dear COmpanions-We are assembled here for a solitary tribute-tO accompany the body of our friend, Peter Cini, to bis last resting place.
 Words cannot express our sympathy for his children, relatives and friends. He was a man of great ability and merits. We have known him for twenty years to be 8 loyal and affectionate husband and father. He has been a great help to propagate the concord of our Italian col- Ony. We are also proud 10 say that he is the founder of our fine Institution, "S0- cieta di Mutuo SocorsO Beneflcenza.
 In any tryst his persuasive and calm words would demand silence from those who were present. Very few of us re. allze what sacrifices he has made to better our society.
 He was a very conscientious, generous and religious man. But now he has left us, and as we weep at his tomb we recall the lives of our masters of art, literature and science. They lived to better hu- manity, and their merits were not appre- ciated until they were gone. It Is the same with our friend.
 Poor Peter, few days ago, who would have thought that you were to soon join your dear companion of life whom you have mourned for? May your soul rest in peace and forgive us if we sometimes have not appreciated your kindness.
