CHASE'S KlDNET-LIVER PILLS, and the wonderful cure of dyspepsia of r8 years' mending effected by them with three boxes. I am as well as I ever was, and am a man of 64 years of age.

If you desire any further statement or certificate of my case, I will be pleased to furnish one. Yours truly, W. W. HODGES, Holland Landing, Ont. satmeeenamsnemah "Fd wait till it was frozen," answered the dwarf, readily. The king was delighted. "-For so clever a rejoinder," he said, "you shall have from me anything you may desire." "Oh, no 1" cried Bertholde'with a mock- ing laugh. "1 shall have nothing of the sort. You cannot give me what you do not posses. I am in search of happiness, of which you have not a particle. So how can you give me any ?" " How ?" exclaimed the king. "Am I not happy on so elevated a throne ?" "Yes, you are if the happiness of a man consists in the height of his seat." Then Alboin referred to his kingly power and dignity, and the dwarf retorted with another mocking laugh; and when the king ; called attention to the nobles and courtiers about him, Bertholde, with a sneer, re- marked: "Oh, yes, they cluster round your throne; so do hungry ants round a crab-apple, and with the same purpose -to devour it." " Well said," spake the king, keeping his temper; "but all this does not prevent me from shilling among them, as the sun among the stars." "True, but tell me, shining Sun, how many eclipses you are obliged to suffer in a a year? For the oontinual flattering of these men must now and then darken your understanding." "For this reason you would not be a courtier ?" inquired his Majesty, whose fin- gers began to play upon his sword •in a threatening manner. Miserable as I arn, I should be sorry to be placed in the rank of slavea," replied the dwarf, "Besides I have not the necessary qualities to succeed in this fine employ- ment." " What then do you seek at my court ?" asked the king in an angry tone. "Something I have not been able to find there," answered Bertholde. "1 was told 'that a king was as much above common men as a tower is above common houses; I find, as I suspected, that sovereigns are honored more than they deserVe." This was a little too ,snuch. The king lost his patience, and comnianded the dwarf jes- ter to leave the palace *alternately, or he would have him whipped out of court. Men are dropping from the ranks every- where. Cut down in the flower of youth or the fruitage of manhood by that ruthless de- strsyer-Bright's Disease of the Kidneys. Only a few dago Sir Hercules Robinson, the doughty Governor of Cape Colony was forced to resign that pose because of en- croaching Bright's Disease. Hardly had his successor been appointed when the wires brought tidings of the death of William P. St. John a New York bank- er, and remembered 14 every one as the treaesiarer of 1 the National Democratic party during the latest national campaign. Bright' i Disease carried him off. It has killed many better men than most of us. So has Diabetes, its twin curse. Yet there is one cure (and only one), that never fails in cases of Diabetes and Bright's Disease. Let these testimonials bear wit- ness : Mn. FRED. ORRSTEINS, Palmerston; Ont., says "After manyyears suffering with Bright's disease, I am a new man, cured by using three boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills.' Mn. F. Xi GROULP, Ottawa, Ont,, says: "Dodd's Kidney Pills have been a, godsend to me, as they have cured me of Bright's Disease of the Kidneys." S. G. Moore, King St., London, Ont., says: 'After taking a few boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills I am as well as ever in my life, despadring of recovery from Bright's Disease.' Mr. Cies. T. BYE, Garryowen P. O., Ontario, says: "For the past three years have suffered from Diabetes, but noticing cures published I have used Dodd's Kidney Pills, which have perfectly cured me."

Mary Shears Roberts, in her series of "Historic Dwarfs," contributes an article on Bertholde to the January St. Nicholas. Bertholde was an Italian, and one day he made his way to the palace of Alboin, King of the Lombards, at Verona, and seated himself in an empty chair next the throne. The courtiers were as much surprised at his audacity they were amazed at his gro- tesque appearance: but the Lombard chief- tain smiled grimly upon the intruder and in- quired of him. "what he was when he was born, and in what country." "1 am a man," replied the dwarf, where- upon the attendants went off in fits of laugh- ter. "1 was born when I came into this world, and the world itself is my country." King and courtiers now began to realize that they had a shrewd little imp before them, and they commenced to ply him with questions of all kinds. The asking of con- undrums was a. sort of trial of wit to which sovereigns were much given at this period of history. "What thing is that which flies the swift- est ?" asked one. • "Thought," replied Bertholde, prompt- ly. "What is the gulf that is never filled?" "The avarice of the miser," was the readyanswer of the quick-witted dwarf. " What trait is the most hateful in young people ?" "Self-conceit, because it makes them un - teachable."

From the Beaver, Napanee, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Stone have been residents of the township of Ernestown, about ten miles east of Napanee,for a petiod of about three years, and in that time have gained the esteem of all their neighbors. For six years previous to this time they had lived in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, and it was during their reeidence there that Mrs. Stone 'was attacked with an illness that made her life miserable for years. To a reporter ,yvho recently interviewed her she told the following story : "Daring the early part of our residence in Colorado, my illness first came on. At the outset evcry two or three weeks I would be attacked with a pain in my stomach. Later on it greatly increased in severity, and at times was so bed that I would scream aloud with the pain.

The victims are nemberecl almost by hundreds. Most of the accused persons denied everything at first, but one woman, driven into a corner, and seeing that she ould not escape, began to reveal fresh facts, a. -id to inculpate the accused midwifeelrager, the latter not only made a full confession, but also referred to cases uhich had not even been suspeeted. -It seems that a gang of boys at Can- ning, a few miles west of Paris have lately indulged in a system of practical jokes, and have been a source of annoyance to the peo- ple of that neighborhood.

W. C. A. into my arm, as a reslult of which the pain would gradually pass away. The medicine which was given me, however, had not the slightest effect, and the doctor appeared to be greatly perplexed, and . thereafter con- tinually resorted to injections of morphine whenever the attacks came on These at- tacks continued at intervals eatil our re- turn to Canada, when they increased in frequency and intenseness. The result was that I grew very weak, and my whole sys- tem appeared to be giving out. My complex- ion turned a yellowish hue and I had little or no appetite. Latterly 1 would be at- tacked with fainting spells, preceded by at- tacks of dizziness. I became utterly un- able to stand fatigue; and could with the greatest difficulty perform 'my household duties. .A doctor was called in who treated me for some time without benefitting me any. Then he gave me what I now know to be Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, and after I had used two boxes I felt some- what better. I then purchased the pills myself and continued the treatment. found that the pain was gradually decreas- ing. I could get rest and sleep at night, which had hitherto been almost. impossible. I continued. using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for several months, and the result is that they have effected a complete cure, and I am now enjoying the best of health. I can &Bann you it is a great relief to be free from the trouble that made my life so mis- erable for so many years, and I have to thank Dr. Williams' Pink Pith, for succeed- ing when doctors had, failed. Dr. William' Pink Pills act directly upon the blood and nerves, building them anew and thus driving disease from the system.

I was troubled with the well-known symptoms of heart and nerve trouble, such as sleeplessness. dizziness, palpitation, neuralgic and other pains, for such a long time that I had really given up hope of a cure. Now out of gratitude to this remedy, and so others may learn of its virtues, I give my unsolicited tee- tivaony. Tnere is no cure so good for heart and nerve troubles as Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills. This is my honest opinion. My wife is also using this reme- dy with great success for fluttering of the heart. (Signed) J. D. ROBINSON, Dundee, Ont.
