school has been one of the features.
of the Park during the season. He
has given many exhibitions and his
skill with the rifle is superb.
The Captain tells of very close
call he once had when living at Elk
hart, Ill. He had been sufferer from
Kidney disease for several years and
it rapidly developed into Bright'sI Dis
ease. All his friends told him that
this was incurable and that he would
never get better.
To say that he was alarmed is to-
put livery mildly. This plucky man
had faced many dangers and it made
him sick at heart to think that at last
he was to be conquered by such q
cruel foe.
At last he heard of medicine that
had cured many such cases,-Dodd's
Kidney Pills. He used them and was
completely restored to good health.
He says:-"I attribute my present
good health to Dodd's Kidney Pills
and to nothing else"
