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

"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.

room than Outdoors.
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-

Winter Diseases.
This is the season of the year when
such respiratory diseases as pneu-

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
