A NARROW ESCAPE.

Bath, N. z, Sept. 16th.-There is
now at the Soldiers and Sailors
Home here an old soldier who has
been nearer death than anyone who
has lived to tell the story.
His name is A. E. Ayers. For many
years he lived in Minneapolis, Mimi,
where he is well known.
Four physicians of that city once
told Mr.. Ayers that he could not live
four days. He had Brights' disease.
As a last resort he tried Dodds
Kidney Pills. He is strong and well
to-day.
He says: 81 was in the very pres
ence of death but Dodd's Kidney Pills
saved me. They are the greatest
medicine in the world"

suit had he continued suffering on and
fooling away precious time with other
remedies, no man can tell. But it is al
most certain that it would have ended
in incurable BrightS disease of the kid
neys, which sooner or later would have
proved fatal.
Peruna is a sure cure for incipient
Bright's disease of the kidneys. Taken
in the early stages of this disease, it
cures permanently: Bright's disease
always begins with catarrh Of the kid
neys. Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located.

Big Forgery of railroad Tickets.

As a result of the arrest, on August Is, of
a, ticket brokers' concern at St. Louis,
charged with swindling customer, gigan-
tic railroad ticket counterfeiting scheme
was uncovered. After the arrest of the
brokers their Office was ransacked and an
immense number of tickets and passes found
1t was almost impossible to place an esti-
mate on the value of the tickets recovered,
but it is stated by railroad authorities that
$50, 900 would be conservative figure. It is
believed that many of the tickets and passes
were forged.
At Buffalo number of ticket scalpers
have already been lodged in jail on account
of fraudulent manipulation and forgery of
railroad tickets. These instances are so
numerous the public should take pains to
see that their tickets are purchased only
at the authorized offices Of transportation
lines. This avoids all complication and
trouble to the passenger and assures him
that the railroad tickets purchased are
valid and will be honored as printed.-Ex-
