01 Wide Interest.
r.reed, Wis., July 18 Special
Charles Y. Peterson, Justice of tlm
1'esce (or Oconto Co., litis delivered a
Judgment that is of interest to the
whole V lilted States. J'ut luielly, tliiU
Judgment is, "1'odd's Kidney 1'iIIh ate
the beat Kidney medicine on the
market today."
And Mr. Peterson gives his reason
for this Judgment. He aaya: "Ijint
winter I had an aching pain In my
back which troubled me veiy much.
Ia the morning I could hardly straight
en my hack. I did not know what it
was but an advertisement led me to try
Dodd'e Kidney I'illa. After taking one
box I ran only say they have done moro
for me t linn expected as I let-1 us well
now at ever 1 did before."
Pain in the back is one of the first
symptoms of Kidney diaeupe. If not
cured by Dodd'e Kidney Pills it mny
develop Into l'right'a I'li-eiise, Dia
betes, Rheumatism or some, of the
other deadly forma of Kidney Disease.

An English writer assert thnt the
English people have greatly deterior

quent use of son p. The English be
aaya, are too clean. The Creator gavs
us a natural oil to protect the skin and
make It supple, and we pnas our time
removing this oil with soap. In con
eequence, we are more vulnerable to
colds, to rbeumntlsm, and to all sorts
of disease. Bonn open the porea of

"And It' a safe bet,' retorted the

The case of Miss Frankie
Orscr, of Boston, Mass., is in
teresting to all women.
"Dear Mrs. PiNsnAu: I suffered
misery for several years. My back ached
and I nad bearing-down pains, and fro-
?uent headaches. I would often walco
rom a restful alcen in such pain and
misery that it would be hours before
I could close my eyes again. I dreaded
the long nights and weary days. I
could do no work. I consulted differ
ent physicians hoping to got relief,
but, finding that their medicines did
not euro mo, I tried Lydia E. Plnk

It waa highly recommended to me. I am
glad that I did so, for I soon found
