GILCHRIST DE- CLARES DODD’S KIDNEY PILLS CURED HIS DIABETES. nâ€"_ I-Ie Suffered for Ten Years and Could Get no Relief Till He Tried the Great Canadian Kid- ney Remedy. Port Hope, Ont... March 14-.â€" (Special).â€"It has long been admitted that. what will cure Diebetes, will cure- any form of Kidney Disease, and Dodd’s Kidney Pills have cured the long standing Diabetes of Charles Gilchrist of this place. Mr: Gilchrist is easily one of the best knowu men in Port Hope. For fifteen years he was Chief of Police and for twenty-two years Fishery Overseer of the Dominion Govern- .ment'. When asked regarding his core, he had no hesitation in saying it was caused by Dodd's Kidney Pills ‘and nothing else. “I had Diabetes and Kidney Dis- order for ten years,” he said, "My urine was like brickdust and I had a :terrible backache. I tried doctors, tried everything, but could get no help till‘ I was advised to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. I commenced taking them, soon began to get better and am quite well now. “If I had not used Dodd's Kidney } Pills I am sure I would have been in ‘ my g1..ave.n .

Seventieth Annual Meetingâ€"Began in “Family Compact” Days. Prominent among the older of the Canadian 1 financial corporations stands the British America Assurance Company of this city, which com- menced business in the days when the affairs of this Province were con- ducted by the old “family com- pact.” It was organized in 1833 and has its Governor, Deputy Govâ€" crnor and Court of Directors, which oflices were filled by men whose names are prominent in the history of those stirring times in the Cana- dian political world. The seventieth annual meeting of the shareholders was held yesterday and the report presented shows that the company has not only been of late years modâ€" ernized by having a. Board of Direcâ€" tors, a President and Vice-President substituted for the more stately titles of its early years, but that it has been keeping pace with the growth and prosperity of the country. In regard to volume of business it compares favorably with many of the leading fire insurance companies ‘30: lreat Britain and the United States, its premium income having reached last year the large sum of $2,373,386.47. This is derived from agencies established throughout Canâ€" . fads and the United States, though ‘some of its income comes from busiâ€" incss beyond the boundaries of this ,coutinent. As will be seen by a refâ€" erence to the figures published in the report of yesterday's meeting. the ‘year 1903 showed very favorable re- sults and bears evidence of the favor with which Ontario's oldest financial institution is regarded by the insurâ€" 'ing public, not only at home, but in ;its wider field of operations outside the limits of Canada. In his remarks in presenting the annual report the President, Hon. George A. Cox, stated that the amount of the losses of the “British America" by recent conflagration at Baltimore had been ascertained to be somewhat under $210,000 (the original figures published immediately after the fire), which amount he :pointed out represented about ten 'Ipcr cent. of the annual fire premium income of the company“ These lossâ€" ‘es are being promptly settled, and it [will be gratifying to Canadians to know that in the case of this com- !pany, as well as in that of the “Wesâ€" ;tern," these being the only two To- ;tonro fire insurance companies having {agencies in Baltimore, the losses reâ€" sulting from this exceptional disaster will be met without seriously allecting their financial standing. ~â€"â€"-â€"+ The other day we heard of a boy who told his father he did not want to go into tradeâ€"he wanted to be something in the Post Office. “Some thing in the Post Office !" replied hi‘s father. “The only thing you would be useful for would be to stand outâ€" side the office with your tongue out, on which the people could wet the postageâ€"stamps." “3' Hun-rm" KWUU' smimwzurnsm'twmtm Those whom neglected coughs have killed were once as healthy and robust as you.

It is of coral formaâ€" tion, and offers a. most excellent harâ€" bor to the west. In topography it is gently undulating and covered throughout its entire length by the rankest tropical vegetation, valuable t,ealm-'ood being found extensively throughout the entire district. No~ where in the world are more luscious fruits produced. Among those pecu- liar to this belt is the durian, which is about. the size of a muskmelon. Its exterior presents Somewhat the appearance of a. chestnut burr, being prickly and tough; within, the fruit is white and Cheese-like, and owing to this peculiarity the American sol- diers dllbbe'd it the “vegetable lim- burger." The mangosteen is anothâ€" er of the rare fruits. It is the size of an average orage, chocolate color~ ed, and has a very brittle skin. In- side, four white sections contain a colorless liquid. This is the rarest fruit known, and the only one, so it is claimed, that Queen Victoria had never way of preserving the fruit for a suf- ficient period after plucking to per- mit of shipping 'to any distance. M?“ In a certain school in the North of England the head master has recent-- ly taken to teaching natural history. The other day, when expounding some of the mysteries of creation, the master asked one of his boys if he could tell him the difference be- tween himself and a. tiger, meaning, of course, the difference in the 508.18 of Nature. After some hard thinking the boy replied : “Please, sir, a. tiger is an imperfect beast, but you are a perfect beast." STATE or Onto, CITY or TOLEDO, l LUCAS COUNTY. ‘ 9‘ ‘9“ _ Frank J.

During the year 1903 the Independ- ent Order of Foresters paid Old Age Benefits to over 200 members who had passed the 70th year of ago mark and had become disabled. Un- der the Constitution of the Order such members receive each year after that age oneâ€"tenth of the amount of their policy. It ought to be noted also that this Order does not collect premiums from any of its members after the 70th birthday. The accumu- lated funds of this great institution increased during 1903 by over $4: WWW 000 for every working day of the o . year. The position of the institu- . g tion, therefore, was this, that while It paid out over $6,000 each day to O A1303 LOVELY BRACELET and SOLID widows and orphans and disabled 0 GGLD-fini-‘Jhed JEWELLED RING brothers, it was able to lay up " ’ WV M ‘ ‘ ‘ against the future over $4,000 each day.
