ago Jlrs. Matilda M. Boucher of this place
suffered a great deal with a dizziness in tier
head. She was cured of this by a remedy
called Dodd's Kidney Pills,and has not been l
troubled since.
Shortly afterwards she had a bad bilious
attack and for this she used Diamond Din
ner Pills and was completely cured in a
snort time.
In January, 1903, she had an attack of
Sciatica of which she tays:
"I was almost helpless with the Sciatica,
but remembering what Dodd's Kidnej'
Pills and Diamond Dinner Bills had done tor
me before, 1 commenced a treatment of
these medicines and in three weeks 1 was
completely restored to health. I have
treat faith in these medicines for they have
Leen of so much benefit to me."
Dodd's Kidney Pills are very popular in
Barnes County, having made a great many
uplendid cures of Sciatica, Rheumatism and
Kidney Troubles. Many families use no
»ther medicine.

cured of kidney trouble byLydiaE.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Of all the diseases known n ith which
tbe female organism is afflicted, kidney
disease is the most fatal. In fact, un
less prompt and correct treatment is ap
plied, the we.ary patient.seldomsurvives.
Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pink
ham, early in her career, gave careful
study to the subject, and in producing
her trreat remedy for woman's ills
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound made sure that it con
tained the correct combination of
herbs which was certain to control
that dreaded disease, woman's kidney
troubles.
ltcari What Mrs. Weisslitz Says.
• "DEAR MRS. PINKIIAM : For two
years my life was simply a burden, I
suffered so with female troubles, and
pains across my bacl- and loins. The
doctor told me that I had kidney
troubles and prescribed for me. For
three months I took his medicine, but
grew steadily worse. My husband then
advised me to try Lydia E. Pink
liam's Vegetable Compound, and
brought home a bottle. It is the great
est blessing ever brought to our home.
Within three months I was a changed
woman. My pain had disappeared,my
complexion became clear, my eyes
bright, and my entire system in good
shape."—MKH. PAUI.A. WEISSI,ITZ, 176

3 popular to be desirable. But j
there were other possibilities awaiting
the lace cape. 1 saw yesterday a lovely
evening coat of pale blue cloth, of
which the entire top was formed by a
lace cape, the lace, needless to say,
dyed the precise pale blue of the cloth.
Here is a tip, thought I, for some one
with a lace tippet. She can give it to
her dressmaker, and instruct her how
to contrive with it and some creamy
white cloth a most delectable coat. It
must be explained that the lace top
must be lined with a layer or two of
chiffon, under which there should be
a warm woollen '.ate."lining, and then,
of course, the satin that iines the whole
coat. There is, on the whole, no more
popular idea than the cream cloth coat,
especially for theaters.

undaunted. It knew it was indlspensa- j
ble all the time; and whereas once it
was just the black or the silver sequin,
we now have the saucy thing in every
color of the rainbow and in all sorts of
substances. The robe cannot exist with
out sequin, and the world of women
cannot exist without the robe. The
robe has been woman's best solace for
the dilatory sins of the dressmaker.
With a robe and a maid of average

and no unsophisticated simplicity of a

something filmy and sparkling and be

! white with color between —emerald
| green, for instance —or sapphire blue,
j or vivid cerise, or mauve.
A chic whim across the "silver
| streak" consists in elaborately brald
ing coats with braids of the same color
| as the cloth; this identical braiding is
: fascinating, and looks so well with fur
facings. The short sac coat of a mole
colored cloth costume I have seen was
] much braided over with identical
braids and faced back with musquash
moleskin, the relieving note being
found in a waistcoat of scarlet velvet
studded with tiny gold buttons. There
is infinite charm in this effect of vivid
color, gilt studded and just almost out
of sight, as it were, or, as one might
say, overshadowed, as was this, with
I furry fronts..
The note of gold that a year of two
| back invaded everything is getting
rampant again, and when it reappears
in such attractive whims as bullion
; embroideries, or tiny gilt buttons, or
i the galons that border toques and en
rich coats, we can but give it a smiling
welcome. A tailory toque of fluffy
cloth (matching one's tailor costume
or the blouse therewith worn) border
ed with gold galon, and finished with a
cockade of the same, is the nicest no
tion of the moment for morning wear,
and the universal whim just now in
I Paris. Such a hat of emerald-green
j fluffy cloth with a knitted waistcoat of
emerald green looked awfully nice the
other day with a black coal ami skirt
of severe build. The severe build of
tailoring is going to reassert itself, so
all the tailory authorities declare, and
| these cheery, vivid red and green and
j pink, and blue and white knitted waist
j coats seemed to have just, timed them
selves to the event. If we once again
exploit the severe tailor-made, we shall
have something better than ever be
! fore, something with such a
| cheery waistcoat, and fitting immacu
j lately, and fashioned of most pleasing
j cloths and tweeds. We shall supplant
I with a perfect mould the fascinations
j of the picturesque tailoring, and who
j shall say the perfct mould is not as
I becoming as the picturesque —at least,
I where that which is within be shapely
| or can be rendered shapely?
But I can never see why we should
be either only severe or only pictur
esque; why cannot the two styles co
exist, fulfilling their separate ends—the
elegantly severe tailor-made for cer
tain uses and the elegantly picturesque
frock for social occasions. A frock of
velours mousseline that I saw the other
day that had a lace pelerine bodice
; pleaded most eloquently the cause of
the picturesque; indeed, so persuasive
are these picturesque costumes, I can
not. sea how we are going to part with
them for the gowns of stiffened and ag
gressive richness that formerly co-ex
isted with the plain tailor-made. We
cherish hopes that Fashion will make a
new departure, persuading these two
extremes to dwell together to the end,
| that we may enjoy both. But about
j that picturesque frocw with the lace
! pelerine. What a nice notion it was!
So suggestive a pelerine like thr-t might
be fitted over any last season's frock,
and the lace might be either exactly
the color of the material or else the
j ordinary cream or twine tones.

ADMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost
notable heroes of the Nineteenth Century.
A name that starts terror in the heart of every
Spaniard. A man of steady nerve, clear head,
undaunted courage and prompt decision.
Approached by a friend recently, his opinion
was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the
national catarrh remedy. Without the slight
est hesitation he gave this remedy his en
dorsement. It appeared on later conversa
tion that Peruna has been used in his family,
where it is a favorite remedy.
Such endorsements serve to indicate the
wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the
minds of the American people. It is out of
the question that so great and famous a man
as Admiral Schley could have any other
reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna
than his positive conviction that the remedy
is all that he says it is.
The fact is that Peruna has overcome all

Secretary Shaw says that shortly after he
assumed his duties as head of the treasury
department he was called upon by un old
gentleman from his own state of lowa, who
wanted an appointment as confidential cleric
to one of the assistant secretaries of that de

"In spite of the fact that I was very busy
at the time," says Air. Shaw, "1 gave the
lowan the better part of an hour, for he was
as pleasant and entertaining an old chap as
one could meet—bright, chipper and witty."
On account of his age, the secretary felt
that he could not comply with the request.
So, gently but firmly, lie informed him that
he did not see his way clear to give him the
appointment. This did not dampen the old
gentleman's spirit in the least.

iarly well qualified to till one ot these con

he added earnestly:

opp- ition and has won its way to the hearts
of ne people. The natural timidity which
niciiiy people have felt about giving en
dorsements to any remedy is giving way.
Gratitude and a desire to help others has
inspired thousands of people to give public
testimonials for Peruna who heretofore would
not have consented to such publicity.
Never before in the annals of medicine has
it happened that so many men of national
and international reputation have been will
ing to give unqualified and public endorse
ments to a proprietary remedy. No amount
of advertising could have accomplished such
a result. Peruna has won on its own merits.
