SCDUR _1_s KID Terrible Increase in the Number of Deaths from This Aliment. It is hammer to ill Glasses and Denditions of People. ~â€" it Green Stealthin into the Sys- tem and Develops Into Many Diseases. Bright’s Diseaselieart Disease. Dia- betes, Drepsy and Rheu- matism, are Among the Forms it Takes. Dodd’s Kidney Pills the Due Remedy . ‘ihet Never Fails to (lure it, No Matter How er Where It is Found. w Of all the diseases the human body has to comabt in its struggle for health, the one that is steadily growing in strength and terrors is Kidney Disease. Quietly, stealthin as a. serpent, it creeps on its victim till the latter is enveloped in its folds, and the greatest physicians the World has ever known stand helpless before it. 'As the last fold goes around the struggling victim and the doctor shakes his head and whispers "Bright’s Disease," hope fades to nothing, and the sorrowing friends feehthat death has marked their loved one for its own. _ The alarming increase this terrible disease is making is evidenced by the columns of almost every newsâ€" paper. For not among the lowly of the earth alone does it look for its victims. Statesmen, judges, eminent lawyers, and honored divines are numbered among those who ‘in reâ€" cent months have gone down to their .graves with the fell marks of this dread disease upon their bodies. In fact, so prevalent has the disease be- come that a. celebrated New York specialist stated recently that not one person in a. hundred was free from some taint of Kidney Disease. WORKS IN SECRET. It is the secrecy of Kidney Disease that makes it the more dreaded. You can fight on enemy in the open with - some chance of success, but if he is lying in wait to take you at. an unwary moment your chances of successfully lighting him are terribly diminished. So it is with Kidney Disease. Its first warnings are so faint as to be hardly noticeable, a slight pain in the back that charged up to over exertion, a slight diSCOloration of the urine or a burning sensation while urinating that hardly attracts attention. That is all. But that means that Kidney Disease is at work gradually eating Its way into your system. The pain in the back grows more severe, the urinary trouble more complicat- ed, swellings under the eyes and of the limbs denote the Coming of Dropsy, sharp shooting pains in the joints and muscles tell that Rheu- matism has you in its grasp, or per- haps a day or two's illness leads to the calling.of the. doctor, and sud- denly the terrible truth is forced up- on youâ€"Bright’s Disease has you in its grasp. WAY OF ESCAPE. With this silent, relentless enemy slowly but surely eating its way into prominence and marking that prominence by a yearly increase in the length of its death list, the demand of the day, of the hour, is "Show us the way of escape.” Naâ€" ture never put. mankind in a critical ‘ condition without providing a. way of escapeâ€"providing mankind were wise enough to take the way provid- ed. In this case the way of escape is a. simple vegetable remedy. It has been before the people of Canada for thirteen years, and, like all the great relievers of nature, has been first received and first appreciated by the lowly in life. those known as common people of Canada. Is it the common people of Can- ada who die of Bright’s Disease ‘2 No, it is the bright and shining marks, those who are stationed above the heads of the masses. Ask the reason of this! Go to the people who are practically exempt from Kidney Disease in its worst form, and ask them. With almost a single voice they will reply: “We cure our Kidney ailments with Dodd's Kidney Pills, and they never get a chance to develop into that terrible disease that carries so many prominent men into the grave." ON WITH HIS WORK. And so it is; the man who docsl manual labor must hen] his slightest aches or they hinder him in his work. When he. has backache ho cures it with Dodd's Kidney Pills, and goes on with his work: when he feels a twinge of Rheumatism he drives it out of his body with GEWOF“ DEYIDS is: EASE Dodd's Kidney Pillsâ€"and goes on with his work. NcccsSIty has taught. him that he must cure his. Kidneys to get rid of his pains, for he must work to live. He has not been educated to that standpoint where a prescription to cure must be written by a. specialist at a Cost of dollars to every letter. Ile may not even know that there never was a disease that took in all classes of the community but what nature pro- vided a cure within the means of all classes of the community. What he does know is more to the point than all this. He knows that Dodd's Kidncv Pills will cure all aches which. experience has taught him come from the Kidneys. He takes Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and goes on with his work. SOME EXCEPTIONS. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule. Even among common people there are those who neglect the early Warnings of Kidney Disease. It takes exceptions to prove the rule â€"but many of these exceptions prove moreâ€"they prove that no case of Kidney Disease is too far gone for Dodd's Kidney Pills to cure. Bright's Disease, Diabetes, Dropsy, Heart Disâ€" easeâ€"1111 the varied forms of Kidney Disease in its advanced stagesâ€"have been met by Dodd's Kidney Pills, and never once has Canada's great Kidâ€" ney Remedy had to admit defeat. From the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the Great Lakes to Hudson Bay, Dodd's Kidney Pills are used. and wherever used they have triâ€" umphed over Kidney Disease in its every form. Thousands of Canadiâ€" ans are. shouting their praises of the conqueror. Just few of those who have neg- lected the early symptoms, reached the more advanced stages of Kidney Diseases, and found a cure in Dodd's Kidney Pills are given below. There are thousands of others. Ask in your own immediate neighborhood. You will not have to go far to meet men, women and children who have either wardcd off or cured the terror of the present age by using the old Canadian standâ€"byâ€"Dodd’s Kidney Pills. BRIGHT'S DISEASE CURED. Bright's Disease has invariably yielded to a. treatment of Dodd's Kidâ€" ney Pills, no matter how firm a hold it had secured on its victim. Possibly the most talked of case of recent date is that of Alice Maud Parker, of Shubenacadie, Hants Co., N.S. The full story of this case will be found in the current number of Dodd’s Magazine. Herewith a short state- ment from the young lady's mother is appended: Two doctors pronounced my daughâ€" ter's illness Bright's Disease, and gave her up to die. Her eyelids swelled till she could hardly see; her legs from her ankles to her knees swelled. Her belt in health was twenty inches, when she was at her Worst it was 48 inches. Then she gave up all other treatment and started to take Dodd's Kidney Pills. By the time she had taken the first box I saw a change. It took a long itime to bring her back to perfect health, but Dodd's Kidney Pills did it. To-day my daughter is in perfect lhcalth. Mrs. T. G. Parker, Shubenacodie, Hants Co., N. S. DIABETES CURED. Diabetes is another of the most fearful and fatal forms of Kidney Dis- case that has been cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills, and by no other medi- cine. Among those cured of this ter- rible ailment is Mr. Charles Gil- l.christ, for fifteen years Chief of P0- 'lice of Port Hope afterwards for twentyâ€"two years Fishery Overseer under the Dominion Government. He makes the following statement: I was a sufferer for ten years with lDiabetes and Kidney 'Disbrder. At |times . my urine Was of a dark Ebrieky color, and I would suffer some- lthing awful while passing. I tried idoctors and medicines, but could get no help till I tried Dodd's Kidney ll’ills. They have made me a new finan. The citizens of Port Hope all ‘know me and can vouch for the .above. , Chas. Gilchrist, iEx-Chief Coast and Fishery Overseer, Port Hope. HEART DISEASE CURED. Heart Disease is a result of Kidney .Disordcr. Bad Kidneys mean impure blood, the action of impure blood on ].the heart causes Heart Disease. 'Dodd's Kidney Pills cure it: I sufl'ered for years with Heart Disease, Bright’s Disease, and Rheu- matism. 1 was so feeble I was un- able to do anything. There were three months I abandoned all medi- cines, and resolved to let myself die. Then I was led to try Dodd's Kidâ€" ney Pills, and the good the first box did me surprised me. I have taken ltwenty boxes in all, am Well of my lHeart Disease, my Bright’s Disease, and my Rheumatism. Dame Louis Provosts, St. Maglolre, Que. DROPSY CURED. Dropsy, another disease caused by diseased Kidneys failing to do their work and remove the surplus Water from the blood, is another ailment :Hcre is an example: I was a total wreck before I startâ€" cd to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. In the mornings before I got out of bed I could hardly put my fL-ct to the floor they were so much swollen from Dropsy, My arms used to swell at times so that I could not put on I had to be tapped to be I my con t. lrclieved from my terrible pains. On the advice of a. friend I started to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. Before I had finished the second box I felt much better. Seven boxes cured me completely. I don't know what it is to be sick since I used Dodd’s Kidâ€" ney Pills. George Robertson. 1392 St. James St., Montreal, Que. RHEUMA’I‘ISM CURED. Rheumatism and. kindred Kidney Diseases, such as Lumbago, Sciatica, [and Gout, are caused by uric acid in |the blood. If the Kidneys are put in working order they strain all the uric acid out of the. blood, and the Rheumatism goes with it. Take the case of W. G. Gregg, of Dresden, Ont. Here is his statement: For eight years I was troubled with Inflammatory Rheumatism. I could Srarcely get around to do my duties in my store. I had some of the best doctors I could get, but no- thing I tried would ever give me reL lief. I was also troubled with Gout. I started using Dodd’s Kidney Pills and had only taken six boxes when I was completely cured. W. G. Cragg, Fixâ€"Reeve of Dresden, Ont. ALL KlDNEY DISEASES CURED. These are only a few cases taken from thousands to show the efficacy of Dodd's Kidney Pills in advanced stages of Kidney Disease. In other forms of Kidney trouble, such as Urinary troubles, lravcl, Female Weakness, etc., Dodd's Kidney Pills have the same record. They always cure. As for Pain in the Backâ€"the first symptom of Kidney trouble â€" ask your neighbors. You'll find the majority of them look on Pain in the Back as a danger signal, and on its first appearance safeguard themselves against this terribly fatal Kidney Disease by driving it away with the old Canadian stand byâ€"Dodd's Kidâ€" ney Pills. â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€"-& HIGH COLLARS: HEADACHE. Moreover, They are Bad for One’s Nerves, This Man Says. "You may not know it, old fellow, but there is a very intimate connec- tion between the high collar and the headache." said an observant man; “and I have proved my faith in the statement by refusing to wear col- lars of the high sort. It is a bad business, my boy. High collars choke up the veins and arteries and interfere to some extent with the circulation of the blood in the neck and head. Do not understand me to be knocking any particular brand of high collars. So far as the apâ€" pearance of the high collar is con- cerned, I confess that I like it. "In my own case it has been a great blessing in at least one way, for felows with long necks, you knOW, do not look so well when you harness them up in low collars. My neck is long, long as a crane's, and the 'high collar has kept me from leaving too much of it exposed. Why, I've got so much neck that when I first began to wear low colâ€" lars I was almost ashamed to ven- ture out into the street. I felt like I was but half dressed, and the feel- ing was not so far wrong at that, for the low collar does leave a good part of my anatomy open and above board, as it were. But this fact does not bother me now. I simply don't care at all. Exposed neck is a. whole lot better than headaches, and you know, old Chappy, I was speaking of headaches just now, That’s what I wanted to tell you about. The high collar does someâ€" thing more than interfere with one‘s circulation. It scratches and irri- tates the skin, keeps ono’s chin at an unreasonable, uncomfortable and unnatural angle, and causes one to acquire a nervous frigidity sort of habit. “When you meet your friend who is in the habit of wearing a high collar pay particular attention to the way he moves and holds his head. it isn’t at all natural. It is all due to the high collar. Mark you, there are high collars, and high collars. Some of them approach rationalism in neck dreSS. Others are about as far from it as it is posâ€" sible to get without engulfing the whole head. But, of course, every follow to his own liking in these matters. I wear low collars because they are comfortable, and because I believe the high collar is a prodUCer of headaches, and a bad thing for one's nerves generally. REFORMING THE R.A.M.C. The Advisory Board of the War Office, which has already instituted several important reforms in the army medical system, has taken a still more important step in regard to the comfort and treatment of sick and wounded soldiers. The R. A. M. corps are to be divided into four sections. The first and highest will be formed of men intellectually Cap- able of becoming proficient in nurs‘ ing duties. The other sections will be devoted to cooking, clerical and general duties. The men will be carefully taught the duties falling to each particular section, and greater efficiency will thus be secured in each. Many men call their own carelessâ€" ness and inactivity fate. g HOME. i 55% 359K fitékélféliéltélfiidfilfikél‘ TIIE NOBLE FURNACE. It is a common experience with housewives, at, this season, to find themselves with smarting eyes and choking breath. All this beCause of the smoke, (lust, and sometimes gas that pours through the registers \vlhcn the furnace fires are first, lighl~ Cf . If the furnace is in good condition this annoyance will not arise, it beâ€" lng caused by some crack or faulty scam in the inner lining of the fur- nace. Dust and fine ashes escape through such cracks and fill the pipes that convey the heated air to the registers. The easy remedy for this annoyance is a. clean cellar and a furnace in perfect condition. A room in which there is no escape for the air will always be hard to heat. The more closely the door and window easements fit, the greater the difficulty, unless there is in the room some other outletâ€"a fireâ€"place or transom over the door. The warm air from the register will not freely enter a room where there is no such opening to create a. draught, and cold rooms may often be Cured by applying the principle of not too rigidly barring all entrances for the cold. It used to be that the careful housewife regarded filling the water pan as a duty imperatively neces- sary to the health of the household. The water pan is placed in the air chambers of the furnace, the evapor- ation of the water in it supplying to the air issuing from the register that moisture supposed to be A HYGnIENIC NECESSITY. This theory has been largely dis- counted by modern authorities on matters of this kind. The warm, moist atmosphere prevailing in houses where the water pan is alâ€" ways filled tends to keep opened the pores of the skin, thus causing a tendency to cold, and being liable to produce the enervating effects inevitably found in 'hot, moist cli- mates. Dry warmed air is more healthy, providing always that it is free from dust and is supplied to the furnace from the outside of the houseâ€"not owing to leaks or badly adjusted fittings supplied from the Cellar. The economical management of furnace is an art in itself. An iniâ€" perfectly heated house may to often prove an expensive luxury when the amount spent upon doctor’s fees S placed against the money saved upâ€" on the coal bill. An extremely hot house is equally unhealthy, however; parsimony and extravagance in this respect may be bracketed together as things to be religously avoided dur- ing the winter. The thrifty housewife has long apâ€" preciated that to secure the effi- cient results the firepot should be filled with coal which is kept burn- ing under a moderate draught. A large surface moderately heated will‘ warm a. greater quantity of air pass- ing over it than a. small space, which, though it be red hot, can in‘ fluence only an amount of air in proportion to its size. In addition to this, A SMALL HOT FIRE may prove a source of additiaqal exâ€" pense by cracking the firepot or other breakages of this description. A cold hall on the first floor is Very often the result of a misplaced register. The cold air, entering by means of doors or stair-cases blows over the iron place, counteracting the source of the warm current from the furnace below. A ball register should always be built under the staircase, where it will be protected from draughts coming from any dirâ€" ection. When it is impossible to Shelb- cred position the warming of the halls may be greatly helped out by placing a, chair or 0. table before id to protect it as far as possible from tho draughts from door and stairs. Emopenn tourists have seen and probably wondered at the curious "gill stoves" used to supply heat for the English cathedrals. No sim- pler or more satisfactory "device can be found to solve the problem of warming a large house for which the heating capacity of the average fur- nace is inatlcquote. The heated air which blows through the registers of our house is made by the contact of cold air passing over a hot furnace. The larger the surface. the more air it will heat and as the firepot and drums of the average furnace have a. small furnace for the air to pass over its heating capacity is propor~ tionntcly small. 'l‘hcso English gill stoves. to meet this (lilllculty are made with deep curving folds one above the other thus multiplying the heated surface muny times and ad- mitting of a proportionate increase in the heat supplied. The principle of those stoves is somewhat modified for house furnaces the curves of the gill stove being replaced by deep crevices. change the opening to such a HINTS TO HOUSEKEEPERS. When potatoes are scarce and high, rice can be used in breadâ€"making more economically and with as good results. Boil two toblespoonfuls of rice in a quart of water until the grains are soft. Use this instead of the potatoes, water and all. Rice is one of the most nutritious and most easily digested of foods, and ought to be freely used in every family, especially where there are children and old people. The digestibility of beans in con- siderably increased by parboiling them with a little soda, in the pro- portion of a. half teaspoonful of soda. to a pond of beans and two quarts of water. New tin utensils should be rubbed over with lard and then thoroughly heated. This, it is declared, will prevent their ever becoming rusty.

Dr. Chase‘s Nerve Food came to my notice and as we have Dr. Chase's ReCeipt Book I have confidence in the Doc- tor.
