A. Well -Known J. P. is Curdof Kid-
ney Trouble of Long Standing by
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Banda, Ont., May 21.—(SpeciaL)—
There is no one more widely knonw and
highly respected in this section of the
country than Win-. Bell, Esq., J. P., and
the statement he make s below concern-
ing his euro by Dodd's Kidney Pills bears
weight and carries- conviction, with it.
"For more than a year I woe a. sufferer
from kidney trouble," Mr. Bell says.
"Always in pain, at. tienes the agony
would beeamo unendurable, fund 1 was
practically unable to attend to any' of
my duties. I doctored, with several
local physictio.na and tried every means
to get cured, but without success. At
last I was induced to give Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills a trial. I have the greatest
pleasure in stating that they drove
away the pains entirely and restored me
to my old. time :health and etrene: h. I
am sure I owe this entirely to Dodd%
Kidney Eds."
HOW TO CLEAN JEWELS,
Various Processes Which Will Reston
Lost Brilliancy.
Jewels depend so much upon their lus-
tre for their satisfactory appearance
that it is worth while spending a certain
amount of trouble itt their preservatidn.
To retain the original brilliatcy of a dia-
mond, it should always be kept in a box
or tray of loose sawdust, well protected
from the light. Rubies, emeralds and
sapphires should be treated in the Sams
way, and, before they ars svorn, a gen-
tle polish with a eat, clean chamois
leather and a little prepared chalk will
make them regain all their lost bright-
ness.
Pearls are injured by exposure to
clamp, but sea, salt has a marvellous ef-
fect in restoring those whiclm have be-
come dull, or "sick," as they are de-
scribed professionally. The necklets or
rope Should be laid in a bowl of silt
water, covered with a cloth, and left for
'leveret days, without allowing the day-
light to reach them. Some authorities
highly recommend warm vinegar as a
brightening agent, while others believe
in soaking them in diluted sulphuric, acid.
Jet should never be washed, but should
on the contrary be polished with a hand-
ful of sawdust and a eft silk handker-
thief.
Gold chains may be effectively cleaned
by placing them in a bottle full of warm
soapsuds mixed with a little prepared
polishing being afterward effected
by means, of a piece of eat chorealea.
