MR.. AYERS NOT DEAD.
Very Much Alive and Out with a
Letter Telling How He
Was Saved.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. IA, 1901
(SpeciaD.-Few who knew how i'll
Mr. A. 3. Ayers of this city had been
with Bright's Disease and Diabetes
ever expected he could live. Four doc
tors gave him but three or four days
to live. He recovered through the
prompt and continued use of we'll
known remedy and has given the fol-
lowing letter for publication. 1t is
dated at Bath, N. Y, where Mr..
Ayers now resides.

Dear Sirs:-
l wish to tell you what Dodd's Kid
ney Pills have done for me. AS far
as I am concerned they are the best
in the world, for they not only saved
my life, but they have given me new
life and hope. 1 lived in Minneapolis
for forty-nine years, and am well
known there by many people. I suf-
fered severely with Bright's Disease
and Diabetes. Four well-known
physicians gave me up to die. In
fact, they gave me only three or four
days at the longest to live. I had
spent nearly everything 1 had in the
effort to save my life, but seeing an
advertisement of Dodd's, Kidney Pills,
l scraped what was nearly my last
half dollar, sent to the drug store,
and bought box. l had very little
hope of anything ever doing me any
good, as from what the four doctors
had told me, it was now a matter Of
hours with me. I commenced to take
the Pills, and from the very first they
helped me. I took in all about forty
boxes. / doubtless did not need so
many, but l wanted to make sure,
and after all, $4,000 is a small amount
of money to remove the sentence of
death and save ones life.
| have since recommended Dodd's
Kidney Pills to hundreds of people,
and l have yet to hear of the first
one that did not find them all that
you claim for them. I can remember
of two people to whom I had rec
commended Dodd's Kidney Pills, and
received no benefit. l asked to see
their Pill boxes and behold, instead
of Dodd's Kidney Pills, it was
IS Kidney Pills, an imitation
of the genuine Dodd's. and not the
real thing at all that they had been
using. l gave each of them an empty
pill box that Dodd's Kidney Pills had
been put up in, SO that they could
make no more mistakes, and they
afterwards came to me and told me
that they had bought and used the
genuine Dodd's Kidney Pills, and
were cured.
I still continue to use the Pills off
and on, and would not be without
them if they were $4,000 box. I
think that every old gentleman in the
world would be healthier and better,
if he would take one after each meal.
I wish 1 could think of words
strong enough to express to you my
gratitude for what your Medicine has
done for me. 1t is not often, I sup
pose. that man who is staring
death right in the face, is permit
ted to live and tell of the means
which saved him, and as that is my
position, my heart is overwhelmed
with thankfulness to God for His
mercy to me in permitting me to see
the advertisement of Dodd's Kidney
Pills, when it seemed that was be-
yond all earthly power to save, that
cannot express my real feelings.
If anyone doubts the statement
have made, they may write to me,
and I will try and prove to them
that all / have said in this letter is
true, and more than true. There are
hundreds of people in Minneapolis
who know all about my case and the
way Dodd's' Kidney Pills pulled me
through. when I had been given up
by the four doctors, of Bright's Dis
ease and Diabetes, and had practical
" lost all hope. You are at liberty
to publish this testimonial which I
give you from the bottom of my heart,
and I sincerely wish that I could find
the right words to express my feel
ings of gratitude to you and to Dodd's
Kidney Pills, for my restoration to
life and health.
