FRAME HAS TO SAY ABOUT DODD'S KIDNEY, PILLS Alberta Lady Suffered For Over a Year With Her Kidneys and Lame Back. Champion, Alta., May 9.—(Special) —Mrs. A. Frame, a resident of this place, relates her experience with Dodd's Kidney Pilus in the following brief letter. She writes:—"I was troubled with my$ Kidneys and a lame back for over a year. I had tried nearly all the medicines I could think of without results. A friend of -mine told me about Dodd's Kidney Pills. I gave them a trial and after -using three boxes I felt a great re- lief. I would advise anyone who is troubled with their Kidneys to use Dodd's Kidney Pills." Dodd's 'Kidney Pills simply strengthen and heal the kidneys. The work of the kidneys is to strain all -the waste matter out of the blood. If the kidneys are out of order they fail to do their work, and the waste mat- ter remains in the blood, causing ser- ious diseases. Sound kidneys means pure blood. }Pure blood means good health.

These were in the days long before the tubercle bacilli had been ,'scov- ered. Probably Dr. Bodine= did not ow just why his treatment had such valuable results, but gainat the sneers of his colleagues in the pro- fession he was able to point out that his patients did actually live and re- turn to their former activities. We note that one of them whose case was given in the essay, lived to be 82 years old. He had a rare flash of intuition when he asserted that the reason a tubercular patient was like- ly to cough more than usual when emerging from a warm house was not that the outside air was too cold but that the inside temperature was too warm. He insisted that his patients should not live in overheated rooms, but that the bodily heat should be retained by wearing warm clothes. He was probably more loyal than scien- tific when he ascribed particular; vir- tues to the air of his beloved wichshire. He did not think so much of the air along the coast, but prob- ably if he had examined the mortal- ity statistics of sailors he would have found that comparatively few of them perished from consumption in an age when one out of five people of all ages and conditions died from this cause. He saw, 'however, that it was not the supposedly deleterious air of the sea that caused so many deaths at the fashionable seaside resorts. Con- sumptives were sent to these places in great numbers, but there they were the victims of the fatal treatment generally in vogue and even the in- vigorating atmosphere could not save them. In those days the general treatment of the consumptive consisted first in confining him to a warm room from which all possible fresh air was ex- cluded. He was dosed with tartariz- ed antimony, which had the effect of destroying the p9wers of nutrition. But Dr. Bodington admitted that it was at the time an extremely fash- ionable medicine—and medicines have their days of popularity just as dogs to whom, as the poet tells us, the physic should be thrown. Another fashionable drug was digitalis, which was admired for the somewhat ob- scure reason that it has the power of diminishing the number of heart heats, although there was no evidence that it ever cured a consumptive or even retarded the progress of the dis- ease. There were other variations in the treatment according to the fancy of the particular practitioner who might run to demulcents, blisters, leeches or plasters. One of the most interesting of accepted medical theo- ries of Bodington's day was that by inhaling gases of different kinds the consumption might be turned into catarrhal for the rest of his life, for he was assured that if he discontinued the treatment the consumption would return. One of the first consumptives cur- ed by Dr. Bodington was an awl - blade grinder, a trade which usually claimed its practitioners before they had reached middle age. He describes how this man was made to crawl out of bed at an early hour in the morn- ing, when it seemed that he would faint from weakness or rack himself to pieces with his coughing. But in an astonishingly short space of time this consumptive whose friends were certain that his end was at hand, had regained health and strength. With- in a week he was convalescent and was eating hearty meat breakfasts. We doubt that modern cures are as swift as some of those described by Dr. Bodington. It may be that his patients were .peculiarly responsive to a treatment which was radical. He was accustomed to pronounce abso- lute cures after a few months' treat- ment, and some of these cases, it must 'be remembered, were those of people who had been practically given up as at death's door. tri r - TREATING CONSU MPTION We have been reading with much 'interest the essay on the treatment and cure of pulmnnaw eo-s"sumption which Dr. George Bodington. of Sut- ton Coldfield, Warwiahshire. England, gave to the worn in 1841. Tt was one of the first if no+ actually the 'First time a physician had laid down principles for the treatment, of this disease which have since been every- where adopted. • Yet in 1540 the com- monsense remarks of this physician -were treated with contempt by those of his profession who read them, and -were ignored by the others. Dr. Bod- ington did not live long enough to see the principles enunciated adopted gen- erally, but in a private letter to his son in 1566 he said: "I often think when I am dead and buried, perhaps the profession will be more disposed 'to do me some justice then whilst I live" One of his sons, who also be- eeame a doctor, came to Canada and 35 years ago was superintendent of the New Westminster asylum. He, ;too, is credited with having been a pioneer, for he adopted the method of treating insane persons as though they were ill and not as though they eurere dangerous felons.

"Your son." he said to' each father in turn. "will go into high school next fall. His will be thrown into daily contact with older boys than he has known before—and it is inevitable that he will hear a lot of things that he has never known. There will be perverted sex ideas; there will be dirty stories. 1 want to ask you—to beseech you—to talk to him yourself this summer. Tell him simply about life -he's old enough to understand. 1Nduake hinn see that dirty stories are not fanny. Give hien a start toward decency and frankness and you'll ward off trouble for the future." Good advice that. Secrets cannot be hid from boys and girls in school —tell them yourself, and make sure that the first knowledge is correct and' frankly presented. We are re- minded of a recent story, told by the physician of a family into which a new baby arrived. The father, in the flowery language often used by un- wise parents on such occasions, told the nine-year-old son about the baby sister that the stork had brought, and sent the youngster to dispatch a long telegram crouched in similar poetic terms to ten -year-old sister in the country. ;ut the nine-year-old boy n'ver sent that wire; he wrote one of his own, which read "You win; it's a girl." You'd better tell them yourself—or if you are squeamish about physical secrets, get the family doctor to do it for you. Because they'll find out anyway. % SKI NEY � J PILLS KinNEY Tot f , ;4: lY, ,ilii f! Strange things are happening this year.
