Mrs. Williams Says Use Podd's Kidney Pills. She Suffered for Two Years, bid l'hree, 'Boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills Made Her a New Woman. Adarnsville, Kent Co., N.B. Jan. 29th (Special.)—"I can reconunend Dodd's Kidney Pills to every woman who suffers." So says Mrs. Williame, a well-known and • highly respected lady residing here. Mrs, Williams was a sufferer for two years till she used Dodd's Kidney Pills, She found in them quick relief and complete cure. That is why she is so enthusias- tic in her praise of them. "My troubles started with a celd," Mrs. Williams states. "I 'never seem- ed to get over the effects of it. Iliad cramps in my muscles and my joints were stiff. There were dark circles under my eyes whieh were puffed and swollen. 1 bad a bitter taste in my mouth and .I suffered from severe headaches. "1 felt heavy and sleepy after meals and had attacks of neuralgia, Heart fiutterings and theumatism were soon added to. ray troubles. I took •just three boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I cannot he •too glad that I did so." Every orke of Mrs. Williams' syMp- toms was a symptom of kidney dis- ease. That is why Dodd's Kidney Pills cured her. Children of all ages—not even ex cepting nursing infants—suffer from grippe, and the symptoms are often as severe as they are in adults. It is certainly worth while to take all pains tek4keep the sick away from the well, and to see that young children are not taken into overheated or over -crowd- ed places or exposed to prolonged cold Grippe is probably taken by breath- ing in infected air and therefore very cold outdoor air is more healthful than the stagnant, contaminated air of our houses. At the same time, many peo- ple carry the theories about "harden- ing" their childrentoo far. They keep them outdoots, efte.n insufficient- ly clothed, until they are' thoroughly chilled, and their vitality is so much lowered that they fall victims to the first .gernia that conies their way.

An interesting experiment was made in one hospital during n gripe epid- emic. Generally every child will take the grippe, once it has got a foot -hold a hospital ward; but in this case a double wall of gauze was put up be- tween the different beds, and no drafts strong enough to carry the germs from one bed to another were permitted. Although the same nurses took charge of all the childeen, most of the thil- dren escaped the disease. Special care should be taken to pro - ;beet very young babies from the grip- pe, for it usually goes hard with them. If a nursing nue' ie suffering from an attack, she eh b, careful not to breathe or ough ever the baby, and should hold a handkerchief before her face whenever the baby nurses. Many children suffer from a persist- _ eat cough and rise of temperature wheneven they have grippe, and those symptoms last until warm weather comes. They should be strengthened by tonics and given a change of air, if that is practicable. --Youth's Compan- ion. A Free Prescription You Can Have Filled and Use at House. London.—Do you wear glasses?

Ontario Fertilizers, Limited, West Toronto, Winter Diseases. This is the season of the year when such respiratory diseases as pneu- monia, grippe, bronchitis and tonsilitis, claim their greatest toll, Chief on the list is pneumonia„ which in the Winter months causes more deaths than tuberculosis. Grippe is also seri- ous both in its immediate and remote effects. Much can be done to avoid this group of diseases. Avid overheated rooms with their dry devitalizing atmosphere, Don't sleep in warm air, open the windows. Get sufficient outdoor exercise; don't cuddle yourself in the house. • Avoid wet feet, wear rubbers on wet days. Wear sufficient warm clothes, but dole% overdress. • If you have been unavoidably chilled by undue exposure or have gotten your ' feet wet, a hot bath and a hot drink, Preferably hot milk, • Don't neglect any cold. If you get grippe, relax at once, re- main at home in bed in a uniform temperature, until your doctor as- sures you that you may safely go out.
