Ottawa, Canada, Nov. 25th.-This city
is stirred up as never before. Some
seven years ago the local papers pub
lished an account of man named
George H. Kent of 40S Gilmour street..
who was dying Of Bright's Disease, and.
who, at the very last moment, after
several Of the best. physicians had de-
clared he couldn't live twelve hours.
was saved by Dodds Kidney Pills.
People who know how low Mr.. Kent
was refused to believe that ne was
cured permanently, and the other day,
in order to clinch the matter, the pa
pers published the whole case over
again and backed up their story by
sworn statements made by Mr.. Kent.
in which he declares most positively
that in 1884 he was given up by the
doctors, and that Dodd's Kidney Pills.
and nothing else, saved him, and fur
Their, that since the day that Dodd's
kidney Pills sent him back to work.
seven years ago, he has not lost a sim
gle minute from his work. C1e is a
printer in the American Bank Note
Printing Company
Mr.. Kent is kept quite busy during
his spare hours answering inquiries,
personally and by letter, but he is SO
grateful that he counts the time well
spent. Indeed, he and his wife have
shown their gratitude to Dodds Kidney
Pills in very striking way by having
their little girl-~born in 1sS6-christened
by the name of 'Dodds."
Altogether, 1t Is the most sensational
case that has ever occurred in the his
tory OF medicine in Canada, and the
perfect substantiation of every detail
leaves no room to doubt either the COM
pleteness or the permanency of the
cure.
The local physicians have made the
case Of Kent and Dodd's Kidney Pills
the subject OF discussion at several of
the private meetings of their associa-
ton.

In planning for our Thanksgiving
dinner, our minds naturally recur to
the time-honored dishes as roast tur-
key, pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce,
baked Indian pudding, ETC., and our
feast never seems quite complete with
out them. 1T is not always possible,
however, to have turkey and some
do not care for it. Roast goose, chick
en-. duck, pork, or beef may be substi-
tuted for it. Another nice dish is
Knock duck" or pork tenderloins
baked with bread dressing favored
with herbs and onions. A menu that
is emi-old-fashioned but usually liked
is oyster soup, roast turkey with
mashed potatoes, turnips, baked
squash, pickles-sweet and sour-jel-
lies; salad. mince and pumpkin pie;
fruit, nuts and coffee. 1t is well to
have some kind of light pudding for
those who do not eat pie. If oysters
cannot be procured, vegetable oysters
may be substituted. Cream tomato Is
a favorite kind of soup.
