SEYMOUR, Champaign County, H., Febru.
airy 26, lSS4.-MY DEAR DoCToR: feel it my
duty to you, and to those suffering as I have
you have done for me. My health was failing
me for several years, going down, getting
weaker and weaker, and at last was confined
to my bed. | had three different doctors, one
| from Chicago. But ! grew worse all the time.
When | commenced treating with you had
been confined to my bed for two years, not
able to walk and part of the time so very
weak that | had to be turned in bed Could
not talk but little at time. My head troubled
me so, sometimes thought should lose my
mind. had most complicated female troubles,
and an ovarian tumOr. Having liver trouble
my bowsls were severely constipated, with
also much trouble from piles. My kidneys
were diseased | was very nervous and had
sinking spells. Was in great distress all the
time, a cold clammy sweat all over my body.
In fact, was almost dead. You did not want
to take my case al all, for it was considered
hopeless But am happy to state that at
this writing am able to be up almost all day.
Can 90 out of doors this cold weather every
day. Can walk around the house and yard,
and feel stronger than | have for five years
Am now tleshier than when | was doing my
house work. If | could have had proper
nursing would have been well now; but had
not taken your treatment / should have
been dead long ago. know that you have
saved my life and done for me what no other
could do, for which i have you and your
treatment to thank, which do most heartily.
/ urge all delicate ladies to call on you. Ever
your friend and grateful patient.
Mrs. LErrA (WM.) ANDERSON.
Mrs. DR.. Keck will make her regular pro-
fessional visit to Ottawa, Aug. 18th TO 10th.

CLAIRE SCOTT.

During Race Week the Opera House will
be occupied by the Claire Scott Dramatic
Company, opening on Tuesday night for an
engagement of the balance of the week in
millions in Gold The piece is new here
and is one of great interest Of plot The
scene is France and Naples, and the time 1870
-ltjS'i, the story being the fortunes and recov-
cry of an abducted infant daughter. II is a
trite theme, doubtless, but this piece presents
quite a new form Of the old, old story in a
very elaborate and intricate plot, highly inter
esting, not TO say sensational, from beginning
to the end. Miss Scott has been in Ottawa
before, and though appearing in the old and
worn out Lucretia Borgia TO a small house,
proved herself an actress of more than ordi-
nary ability; and, as she is surrounded by an
excellent company, a series of enjoyable per-
formances viii be offered-the first smuse-
ments Of dramatic nature Ottawa has had
for many weeks.

convention being called for next Tuesday
One popularity is quite noticeable-the pau
city of candidates for all the offices, the only
desperate fight being that for the important
and lucrative Office of coroner! The great in
terest of this convention, however, centers on
the congressional fight between Plumb and
Cullen. 1t would at this time be diffcnlt
matter to name the winner The cities are
given by lookers-on to Plumb, but the eoun-

elected to-day any counting of noses is "pre-
