A Remarkable Cure of Dropsy by Dodd's
Kidney PUU.
.Sedgwick. Ark., July 11. The case
of W. 8. Taylor's little son is looked
upon by those interested in medical
matters as one of the most wonderful
on ecord. In this connection his fath
er makes the following statement:
"Last September, my little boy had
dropsy; his feet- and limbs were
swollen to such an extent that he could
not walk or put his shoes on. The
treatment that the doctors were giving
him seemed to do him no good and two
or three people said his days were
short, even the doctors, two of the best
in the country told me he would not
get better. I stopped their medicine
and at once sent for Dodd's Kidney
Pills. I gave him ,hree pills a day,
one morning, noon and night for eight
davs ; at the end of the eighth day the
swelling was all gone, but to give the
medicine justice, I gave him eleven
more pills. I used thirty-five pills in
all and he was entirely cured. 1 con
sider your medicine saved my child's
life.. When the thirty-five pills were
given him, he could run, dance and
sing, whereas before he was an invalid
in his mother's arms from morning
until night."

"Dkab Mrs. Phtkham : I cannot
praise Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound too highly, for it
is the only medicine I ever tried which
cured me. I suffered much from my
first menstrual period, I felt so weak
and dizzy at times 1 could not pursue
my studies with the usual interest.
My thoughts became sluggish, I had
headaches, backaches and sinking
spells, also pains in the back and lower
limbs. In fact, I was sick all over.
" Finally, after many other remedies
had been tried, we were advised to pet
Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable
Compound, and I am pleased to say
that after taking it only two weeks, a
wonderful change for the better took
place, and in & short time I was .
perfect health. - I felt buoyant, full of
life, and found all work a pastime.
am indeed glad to tell my experience
with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege

HELPING POLLY.
Her Broth. er Had a Bather Brutal but
T - Certainly Efficadons Way.
Aa the door closed behind Polly, Tom
looked across at his mother. .
"How long has this been goingjon?"
he asked. "She nsed to be the jolliest
little youngster in the world."
Polly's mother shook her head at
him, although her eyes were troubled.
"Don't be severe on her, Tom. Pol
ly's growing up, and sometimes a girl
takes growing up rather hard. Just
now her sense of proportion Is a little
out of focus and small troubles loom
large, but she'll find herself present
ly, and it will all come right"
"I should hope so," Tom replied, fer
vently. Upon second thoughts he de
cided to say nothing to his mother of
the plan he had half resolved upon,
but wait his opportunity with Polly.
It came In a few days, when Polly
cam from school tearful and indig
nant over her French mark.
"It isn't fair."' she declared. "Mar
garet Judeon didn't do a bit better
work than I, yet Margaret had niney
six and I only ninety-three. I do think
I have the hardest times!" she wailed.
"Yes," Tom agreed, "I think you
do."
. Polly looked at him in surprise.
Tom's attitude since he came home
had "not been sympathetic that was
one of her grievances. '
Tom pulled a notebook from his
pocket and began to rend:
"Monday was a horrid, dull day, and
your hair wouldn't stay in curl and ev
erything went wrong as things always
do on rainy days. Tuesday you went
downtown, and couldn't find any silk
like Lena Andrews', and had to get a
homely old thing that you never would
like. Wednesday you discovered that
nobody ever did understand you, any
way. Thursday evening at Miss Ja
cob's, Miss Jacob acted 'queer,' and
you wished you hadn't gone. Friday
Bridget let the cream custard curdle
when she knew it was your favorite
dessert! Saturday "
But Polly interrupted. "Oh, Tom,
don't! I didn't know I " and then,
a deluge impending, she rushed tu
multuously from the room.
"Oh, Tom!" the mother remon
strated, her own eyes full of tears.
"Don't yon worry," Tom answered.
"I know Polly. She's grit, and she'll
come through all right. I'm Just help
ing her grow up."
EVERY HOUR HAS ITS USES.
How a Lawyer Utilizes Hia Time from
Early Morn to Dewy Eve.
I know a prominent New York cor
poration lawyer who is out of bed at
5 o'clock In the morning and after
taking exercise Is ready for breakfast
at 6:30. He is at his office in Wall
street at 8 o'clock. His secretary and
his stenographer await him. Dicta
tion begins at once of the rough out
line of a brief to be prepared. He
follows this with dictating memoran
da for his clerks, specifying certain
questions ot law and of fact which
he desifts looked into during the day.
At 9 o'clock he reads and answers
important letters which his secretary
has sorted out for his attention. At
9:30 he is ready for consultations with
clients. , From that time until 4 or 5
o'clock in the afternoon he is in con
tinuous attendance either before
courts (generally of appellate jurisdic
tion), at meetings of boards of direct
ors or in consultation. .
At perhaps 4:30 o'clock the lawyer
is ready to receive reports from his
clerks. They are required to report
solely upon the point Intrusted to
them. Little or nothing is left to their
judgment or discretion. It is merely
desired to know what the law and the
cases are upon some particular point.
They are expected to report accurate
ly, concisely and quickly. This mis
cellaneous work Continues until per
haps 6:30 o'clock, when the day's la
bor downtown is at an end.
- Some lawyers even make-use of the
time consumed in going home. Dur
ing the summer months William Nel
son Cromwell spends his nights on the
New Jersey coast. He goes down by
boat each afternoon, but a large state
room on that vessel is equipped with
desk and typewriter and stenographer,
that full use may be made of the pre
cious hour devoted to the trip. Dur
ing the winter he will probably be
ready for dinner at 7:30 o'clock. An
office boy has gone ahead of him car
rying a green bag full of books and
papers which are to be considered dur
ing the evening. World's Work.
Keeps Correct Time.
The world's best timekeeper is said
to be the electric clock in the base
ment of the Berlin observatory, which
was Installed by Professor Foerster
in 1865. It is inclosed in an air-tight
glass cylinder and has frequently run
for periods of two or three months
with an average daily deviation of
only fifteen-one-thousandths of a sec
ond. Yet astronomers are not satis
fied even with this and efforts are
continually made to secure ideal con
ditions, for a clock by keeping it not
only in an air-tight case, but in an
underground . vault where neither
changes of temperature nor of baro
metric pressure shall ever affect it,
