Catskill. n. Y, November 10th.-Ul
ster and Greene counties are ringing
with the news Of the wonderful recoy-
cry of George f. Ayers, who lives at 16
Division street, in this city. One year
ago Mr.. Ayers was suffering from
Bright's Disease Of the Kidneys. and
the doctors gave him little relief and
less hope. To-day Mr. Ayers Is as
well as man could wish. He tells the
following story:
About a year ago was at West
Camp, sick with Bright's Disease and
without hope of ever being better,
when an old gentleman from Bath,
n. Y. advised me to take Dodd's Kid.
ney Pills, telling me they had cured
him of the same disease.
81 had tried so many remedies that
| was past hoping and told him so,
but when he bought me a box of
Dodds Kidney Pills and coaxed me to
try them | did so just TO humor his
whim.
THAT was the means Of saving my
life. took that box and half dozen
more. Thanks to that old man and
Dodd's Kidney Pills, am cured"
