A BROTHERS LOVE.

Lostant. H., July s.--James Watt,
of this place, by one little act, has
given "A splendid example of that
never dying love which exists be-
tween brothers, no matter how far
apart they may be.
Mr. Watt was a great sufferer from
Kidney Trouble and Nervousness.
He was very much used up, and al
though he had tried q great many
things he had found nothing that
would in any way relieve him. Some
one suggested Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and he used six boxes, and was CON-
pletely cured.
His first thought was for brother
in Belfast, Ireland, whom he knew to
be afflicted in the same way that
he had been. Mr.. Watt imme diately
sent a supply of Dodd's Kidney Pills
to this far-away brother. together
with his recommendation based on
his fortunate experience.

average daily attendance for June. in
