TO MY FRIENDS. It is with joy I tell you what Kodoldid for me. I was troubled with my stomach for several months. Upon being advised to use Kodol, I did so, and words can not tell the good it has done me. A neighbor had dyspepsia so that he had tried most everything. I told him to use Kodol. Words of gratitude have come to me from him because I recommended it. Geo. W. Fry, Viola, Iowa. Ileal th and strength, of mind aud body, depends on the stomach, and nor mal activity of tho digestive or gans Kodol, tho great recon structive tonic, cures all stomach and bowel troubles, indigestion, aud dyspepsia. Kodol digests any good food you eat. Take a dose after meals. SLOW BUILDING. Persons who are disposed to grumble at the length of time re quired to finish public buildings, should take heart from the exam ple of tho Cathedral of St. Pettr, iu Cologne. That structure was 022 j'ears in building. '.' It was be gun in 1248, and was pronounced completed in 1880. The great Cathedral of Milan was begun in 1!80, and was not completed un til 1805419 years later. , Ros- termel Castle, in Cornwall, took mr"ty years to build, and one third of that time was employed iu excavating for the foundation The late Lord Bute was eugaged for over twenty years jn building his great palace iu the Isle of Bute, and his successor is still at work on it. The palace of the Dukes of Atholl, in Scotland, lias boon building since 1830, and tho work is still going on. In the oases of the othor buildings men tioned, however, the monoy for their construction did not come entirely out of the pockets of the taxpayers, which, after all, makes a considerable difference as to the matter of looking at it.
