On going to a dent- ist, liowever, I hal)pened to tell him about my failing sight, a'ld he at once informed me that, in his opin- ion, bad teeth were the cause of bad eyesight, and that this was a fact very little known. i took the dentist's liint and my experience lias been that since my tooth have been put thoroughly in order my sight has become stronger and better than it has ever been be- fore. On making inipiiries into this subject, I lind tliat many cases are on record of failing eyesight being cavi.sed by defective teeth exciting disturbances of the ocular nei-Tres. .Such a case Was reported some time ago of a girl, aged fifteen years, who suffered from failing vis- ion, and became, according to her own account, blind in a week; her F)upiis were dilated and insensible. .She had two decayed tettli taken out. and "her vision returned to her when walking away from the hos- pital." A week previous to this miraculous cure the blind girl had been examin- ed by a weU-known oculist, who af- ter some peiSTiasion marie her read with either eye, and designated tho case as "hysteiical amblyopia." The recorder of the case considers it a case of "rellcx blindness" associated with the presence of the decayed teeth. presumably because carious teeth were noted. Tho Lancet cites another case of a woman, aged forty-iiw yours. who complained of impaired vision in the right eye and a puinfiil upper bicus- pid. 'Hie oflencling tooth was re- moved and tho sight was iiomediato- ly restored. "Whenever my wife tUows a dis- lo.sition to nag me," he said, in ex- | ilaining hi.s system, "l .simpdy I-ut iji my coat and go to an hotel for ihe night."

Marsh, of this place, talks of those wonderful exterminators of the pains and aches arising from Diseased Kidneys. And Mr. Marsh. should know whereof he speaks. Ho was under the doctor's care for Kidney Complaint for some time, and, despite their etTorts, con- tinued to grow worse. He was al- most in despair when a friend ad- vised him to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. In such a severe case the progress towards recovery was turally slow, but he persevered, now he feels justilied in using strong words quoted above. Marsh thus describes his ca.se : "I was under the doctor's care, but didnt seem to get any better, only worse. I was advised by a friend to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. After I had used them for a time I began to feci a diderence. and I never stopped till I had used 22 boxes. I suppose I still have to use something as long as I live, but I feel as if Dodd's Kidney Pills had saved me from the grave. "I have recommended Dodd's Kid- i-.ey Pills to everyone because of what they have done for me." na- and the Mr. Every hour comes with some little fagot of fiod's will fastened upon its back. â€" Fabcr. .SOUTH VIA ^^ASHlNriTON.

Thero is a town in Russia known by the several unpronouncarjle names of Iscliigii, Schtscliigri and Tschigri. tHaixl enough to remember how to apell any one of them). A jury returned a verdict there not many months since after a mo.st axnny months .')ince> after a mcst thorough and o.xhaustive trial and investigation. Implicated in the alTair were some of the most prominent business houses in the world, and a vast numter of other persons were more or l.ss interested in the verdict to Siiy nothing of the anxiety of the principals. The jury was comprised of three members of tJie Provincial Council, three estate owners, a delegate of the Russian tJovcinment and three district agricultural insjiectors. After spending a day and a half on the case, the jury found the Mas- s«y-Harris Binder worthy of the highest award in competition with other machines, and bestowed on it tho Minister of Agriculture:s Gold Medal. They based their decision on the facts that the Massey-Hariis Binder po.'^sessed "Higher and better road wheel than cither of the other linns, a most satisfactory reel without chain-gearing; a floating upper ele- vator; main road wheel sulistnntially hung and supiiortcKl." They added that tho machine gave the impression of .solid, substantial construction. The veixlict has since received uni- versal endorsation.
