TO CURE DROPSY.
New Treatment That Differs from tho
Old Methods and is Invariably
Successful.

Mcintyre, Ont: Dropsy is due in the
majority of cases TO some disorder of
the kidneys. 1t rs one of the symp-
toms of Bright's disease and indicates
an advanced stage of the disease. One
reason why so many cases of dropsy
prove fatal is that wrong system of
treatment is followed. If the cause
be removed the disease will disappear.
Make the kidneys all right and dropsy
will go. This is the plan followed by
Hugh Lamont, of this place, in the
case of his l4-year-old son, who had
dropsy since he was an infant Mr..
Lamont gave the boy Dodds Kidney
Pills and he is now thoroughly cured
and strong and hearty.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are put up in
round, fat boxes with blue labels and
red band. The public is cautioned
against limitations and substitutes. If

will be forwarded on receipt of price,

mittee appointed by the recent bime-
tallic conference in Washington, has
been issued, declaring the issue upon
which the new party, styled "the
American bimetallic party" will or

issue in the United States. The issue,
sis between the gold standard, gold
bonds and bank currency on the one
side and the bimetallic standard, no
bonds and government currency on
the other"
The statement is an deliberately
specified opposition to the single gold
standard and demand for an imme-
date return Ito the constitutional
standard of gold and silver, by the
restoration by this government, indie
pendent of any foreign power, of the
unrestricted coinage of both gold and
silver into standard money, at the
ratio of 16 to /, and upon terms of ex-
act equality, the silver coin to be a full
legal tender" They are unalterably
opposed to the issue of the United
States of Understanding bonds in

laws, in either gold or silver coin, at
the option of the government and not
at the option of the creditor

six weeks ago it was thought to be of
