Physicians Association Trying

Ottawa, Canada, Nov. 25th.-This
city is stirred up as never before.
Some seven years ago the local papers
published an account of a 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 our best physicians had de-
clared he couldn't live twelve hours,
was saved by Dodd's Kidney Pills.
People who know how low Mr.. Kent
was refused to believe that he 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 1894 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
single minute from his work. (He is

Mr.. Kent is kept quite busy during
his spare hours answering inquiries

grateful that he counts the time we'll
spent Indeed he and his wife have
shown their gratitude to Dodd's Kid

christened by the name of ''Dodds."
Altogether it is the most sensational
case that has ever occurred in the his
tory of medicine in Canada and the
perfect substantiation of every detail
