Kers was a Terrible Case â€" It Proves that the Great Kidney Remedy is good for Old and Young alike and Cures all Forms of Kidney Disease. Weyburn, Assa., N.W.’l‘., Dec. 21.â€" (Spccial).â€"No more remarkable cure of Dropsy has ever been put on re- :ord than that of little Edith liarâ€" ris, the two-year old daughter of Mr. and Mr.s. ll. J. llarris of this place. The little girl had dropsy in its worst form. She was swollen from her feet to her shoulders so badly that the doctor was afraid one of her feet would burst. Her natural waist measure was eighteen inches, but when the disease was at its worst, she measured thirtyâ€"four inchâ€" es. 'l‘wo doctors attended her, but after three months struggle with the disease the child was gradually grow- Ing worse and the parents had about given up all hope of saving the life of their child. At the same time they determined to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. Imagine their surprise and delight when un- der this treatment the child began to rapidly improve. By the time she had taken three boxes, half a pill at a dose, the swelling was gone and the helpless little invalid was transâ€" formed into a merry laughing healthy ‘child again. Dodd's Kidney Pills cure old and young alike. They cure Kidney Disâ€" ease without regard to where or in what form it is found. â€"-â€"â€"-+ HOW TO PREVENT A “COLD " Quick Change of Temperature Dangerous. How to prevent a “cold” is at this time a matter of no small importâ€" ance. The question resolves itself in- to an attention to little things in the beginning rather than more weighty ones at the end. The weak mortal is most apt to suffer from any epidemic influence. The overâ€" wrought individual is relatively in the same category. Thus it happens that the “cold” seizes the victim when he is tired, and a draught that would not affect him under other cir- cumstances is quite sure to show its malignant influence within a few hours after the slightest exposure. The shiver and chill are nature’s first warnings of the trouble, then follow the irritation of the chest, the harassing cough, the sneezing nasal discharge and stuny frantal headache. The careful man hecds these symp- toms at, once, talrs to his room and uses his home remedies, but the darâ€" ing and thoughtless one trusts to the vain chance of roughing it through. Then also in turn comes the old story of "the neglected cold” and long list of lung affections that follow in its Wakes. Catarrhal pneumonia, :1 most fatal ailment, almost invariably commenc- es with the simplest warnings. Al- though the disease is considered in- fectious and due to a specific microbe, the latter organism never attacks l GRAINS OI“ GOLD. Mirth cannot an\e a soul in ag- ony.â€"Shakespcare.

The ini- tiative cold places the mucous mem- brane of the air passages in a prop- erly receptive condition for the effec- tive invasion of the waiting organ- ism. Rapid changes of temperature, es- pecially With increased humidity and raw winds, are always dangerous. To overcome them man conserves the heat of his body with woolen under- clothes and suitable outsodc covering. He must needs be always on the deâ€" fensive. The lack of precautions is what must eventuallyâ€"shoulder the blame. The best defence against cold is what might be called the toughening process of immunity against chang- es. The person who is accustomed to the cold plunge the year round is seldom surprised by a frosty snap or a. sneaking draught. On the other hand, the one who overheats his house and bakes in the dry and suf- focating atmosphere of most apartâ€" ments is sure to SulTer from the slightest exposure. ' It is truthfully said that our houses are for the most part hot air ovens during the winter time. There is no doubt that. this fact explains in a great measure the well-known prevalence of calarrahs. The Eng- lish, for instance, with a more humid and equally changeable climate are ‘Wondel‘l'ully immune against “colds,” as we view it, and this is due in no small measure to their cooler and ibetter ventilated homes, their out- door habits in facing storms and lin'their ability to react by vigorous ,skin circulation against any degree of cold or wet.

A tale is being told of an (illicer in the China squadron, \\‘ho, taking advantage of a stay in port, sent for a native tailor, and ordered I\Vt‘l\'t‘ pairs of white drill trousers, ginng him an old pair for a pattern. They Were duly delivered, and appeared perfect, but on trying on a pair he found a neat patch in the seat, and to his great astonishment each of the others was also neatly patched. At a loss to account for it, he examâ€" ined the old pair given for a pattern. and there found a tiny hole, neatly patched, which the. tailor with East- ern thoroughness had i accurately copied.

Dras- sey, are well known throughout the llritish Empire. The former owns a large estate in England, was Gover- nor of Victoria, Australia, from 1895 to 1900. and was President of the llritish Boards of Trade Congress, which met last summer in Montreal. He also owns large tracts of farm lands in our own Northwest. Both father and son are. enthusiastic ad- mirers of Canada. and are well able to speak authoritatively and intelli- gently .as to Canadian products. The Hon. T. A. Brassey, who late- Iy spent seine months in Canada, has paid a just tribute to Massey- Harris Implements as per the follow- ing cablegram: "London, Nov. 28tlrâ€"Ilon. T. A.
