And the postmaster is not the only one in this neighborhood who has found relief fmm their Kidney «ills in the old reliable remedy, Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Others there are whose Rheumatism has been re~ 'lieved, Whose Dropsy has vanished, land Whose Urinary Troubles have lbeen cured. For if the disease is of the Kidneys, or caused by the Kidneys being out of order, Dodd’s Kidney Pills never fail to cure it. Dyment, Ont., May 15, (Special)â€" lohn Olberg, postmaater here, and Wellâ€"known throughout this’ entire Ieighborhood, is telling his friends Ihat Dodd’s Kidney Pills are the sure for all forms of Kidney Disâ€" lase. And when they ask how he knows, this is the answer he gives: “I was troubled with Baekachc for a long time and Dedd’s Kidney Pills cured it. That’s why I recomâ€" mend Dodd’s Kidney Pills to all sufferers from Kidney Disease.” l Why suffer from corns when they can be painlessly rooted out by us~ ing Holloway’s Corn Cure.

They must be taken according to direc- tions and used steadily and they will speedily give evidence of their beneficial effects.

POOR CHAP.’ firs-5U}: m. awn. Green Food Proved as Fatal as the Famine Itself. One is so accustomed to hearing of China’s famines that any: news makes little impression. tat. the announcement that at the present time three thousand are dyin daily from starvation and celd, an: three hundred and fifty thousand are dependent on foreign r lief, ought to convey to even ar istant intelâ€" ligence some conception of the terâ€" ‘rible fact. It is horrible to think of the slow and torturing death brought on by these families, yet few realize that with the first bar- vest comes a danger almost as great as that imposed by the lack of food. Richard Lovett describes this state of affairs in “James Gil- mour of Mongolia.” 7 Of all those dead by famine 'in northern China, the suffering of one class was, perhaps, more disâ€" tressing than the others. A°large number died just as the plentiful harvest ripened. Through all the hard, dreary months, when day af- ter day, month after month, they looked and longed for rain, those I now speak of struggled, kept 11p hope, fared herd, hoped eagerly, and at last saw the rain come, safw the crops flourish afnd begin to rip- But they were to see it with their eyes, not to eat thereof. The great mass of people was too much reâ€" duced in bodily strength by the long period " of semistarvation. Summer and the early autumn came, and the rains and attendent ague, still more reducing the strength of the already emaciated frames. You can imagine them, then, with lean faces and hungry eyes, tottering about the fields and countin the days which must el- apse he ore the grain should ripen. The rage of hunger was no longer to be borne. They anticipated by a. few days the ripening. They took grain still a, little "green, and put it int-he pot. .1 ernJLn en, Vcofigratulated {hemselvés and others on the prospect of abâ€" undant food and better days. _ t,“ s -. . ...V P.“ But here was another difficulty. The fuel used is grain stalks, and famine at once deprives the farmer of food and fuel. Green grain they might, cook, but green grain stalks would not burn. Was it a wonder that they fell upon the half cookâ€" ed green grain, and after months of the slow torture of unappeased hunger, ate to fullness? Disease thus set in, _and proved as fatal as {he famine] itself 7. “That woman who lives next door, James,” said Eliza, the young married woman, to her husband, “is the laziest, dreadfullest, most gossiping person I have met during my whole life. She does nothing but talk, morning, noon, and night. I am perfectly certain that she can never get any work done.” “Ah? repfied her husband, -“I thought she was a Chatterbox. And to whom does she talk all day lon “Why, my dear, to me, of course, was the reply. “She talks to me over the garden wall.” OURED HIS LAME BACK. West Fort William, Nov. 7th, 1908.â€"â€"”I have been troubled with a, lame back for the past twenty years and have used plasters and Ointment: without. effect. At last I tried Gin Pills, which proved just the thing, and I would highly re- commend them to anyone who has a.- Straiued or Lame Back.” Gin Pills act directly on the Kidneys, relieve the pain, neutralize Uric Acid which is generally formed when there is Kidney Trouble.

A Britisher, settled out there, appeared one Sunday in a “stove- pip-e” hat. rEhe citizens expressed their appreciation by pouncing out of corners and other places of vanâ€" tage, and bonneting the unfortun- ate wearer.
