communal nests as. big' as a mans two
fists, These nests, attached to
branches of the trees on whose leaves
the insects as caterpillars feed, are
made of a good quality of silk.
Inside the nest, however, are some
hundreds of individual cocoons. Thus
one might say that the hunch repre-
sents a whole flock of butterflies.
and claim is made that it might be
utilized profitably for the weaving of
fabrics, the ooarder material of the
nests finding industrial employment as

"Yes, it always gives me pleasure
to say a good word for Dodd's Kidney
Pills," Mr. Mercredi says, "My wife
was sick

not find anything t ng to restore her to
health. Then we found a pamphlet
telling of several persons who had
been cured by Dodd's Kidney Rills.
"My wife used just two boxes of
them and she is perfectly well, to the
great surprise of all our neighbors.
They can tell you the same thing. I
cannot recommend Docid's Kidney Pille'
enough."
Dodd's Kidney Pills are the greatest
of all remedies for weak, suffering
women. They cure the kidneys. The
kidneys are the root of nine -tenths of
women's ills. Moreover, cured kidneys
mean pure clear blood all oyer the
betty. That means geed health every-
