recipient Of the blow must have been
more amused than angry. The story
is told by a London journal: The Rev.
DR.. x, a popular minister, suffers from
a halt in his gait. a popularity which
he inherited frem his father. One day
when the reverend doctor was still a
student, he was walking along Princes
street, Edinburgh, in company with
his father, and on coming to a path
where the footway was narrowed on
account Of some building operations,
the old gentleman stepped on before
him. AS they were proceeding thus.
a sober looking countryman behind
them, evidently unaware of the rela-
.tionship of the pair, frowned once or
twice at the limping youth, and shook
his head at him reproyingly. Young

mean, when he was speedily enlight-
ened by the countryman giving him q
smart box on the ear, at the same time

Ottawa, Canada, Nov. 25.-This city
ts stirred up as never before. Some
seven years ago the local papers pub

George III. Kent, of 4OS Gilmour street,
who was dying ofSBright'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 clinGh 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
ther, that since the day that Dodd's
Kidney Pills sent him back to work,
seven years ago, he has not lost a sim

printer in the American Bank Note

MI. Kent is kept quite busy during
his spare hours answering Inquiries

grateful that he counts the time well
