A Veterans story.

Bath, N. Y, April 13th.-The first
consideration Of the Commandant and
Oflcers in the conduct Of the Soldiers
and Sailors Home here is the health
of the Veterans. Kidney Troubles are
the most common cause of ailment,
very few Of the old men escaping these
in some form or other.
OF course the comrades do as much
as possible for themselves, and one or
the most popular and useful remedies
employed is Dodd's Kidney Pills,
which seem to be almost infallible in
cases of Kidney arrangements, Indeed
there are among the veterans several
who claim to owe their lives to Dodd's
Kidney Pills.
For instance, A. E. Ayers, who came
to the home from Minneapolis, Mimi,
was given up by four doctors in that
city. He had Bright's Disease, and
never expected to live through it, but
his life was saved and his health re-
stored by Dodd's Kidney Pills.
His experience has made the remedy
very popular among the men, and no
one who has used Dodd's Kidney Pills
for any Kidney Trouble has been dis
appointed.
