Dodd's Kidney Pills Are Acknow- ledged to be a Wonder Working Medicine.--Many Other Miracul- ous Cures Brought to Light. Oshawa, Ont., Feb. 24.--(Special)-- One effect of the publication far and wide through the press of the mir- aculous cure of a case of paralysis here in Oshawa has been to bring to the surface a great many similar- ly wonderful and well authenticated sures by the same remedy--Dodd's Kidney Pills. 4 Mr. Brown, whose case has caused all the sensation, is a modest unas- suming mechanic employed in the Oshawa Malleable Iron Works. Since the publication of the facts of his zase he has been overwhelmed with letters of inquiry from all over the country, and to each of these he answers simply : "Yes, Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me after all the doctors and hospital specialists had given me up. I couldn't walk and had to be fed like pn baby for four months, but the pills soon fixed me up and I have peen Tai rignt ever since.' He has also heen in receipt of not a few letters from others who too have found Dodd's Kidney Pills a life-saving remedy when all else had failed. Several of these, encouraged by Mr. Brown's example, have written to the papers reporting their cases and all are very enthusiastic in their praises of the medicine. But our explanation of all these cases has been offered and it seems to make them easily understandable. --The Kidney's are Nature's blood filters. If the Kidneys areghealthy and expelled--Dodd's Kidney Pills cure the Kidneys and thus enable them to throw off sickness and to protect the body from any and every assault of disease. - Husband--*"I am surprised, Emily, vhat you.should have such bad taste vs to wear the hair of another wo- man on your head."

That the New York Central possesses great advantages over other lines cannot be gainsaid, and they are too numerous to enumerate, but a few of the principal features are: the great train service (twelve express trains each way between Buffalo and New York), four tracks and the Grand Central Station the on- ly station in the city of New York. This is the route of the famous I"mpire State IEx- press. One farm laborer in the United States is able by the aid of ma- shinery to do the work of three in Europe.

When the new reading-room of the Imperial Public Library. St. Peters- burg, was opened recently all the pieces of soap soon disappeared from the lavatory. Henceforth the soap will be secured by a chain. This is done by passing a rod of wire through an egg-shaped piece of soap which is then hung near the basin.

"I consider it a crime to experiment with the health of the people," says Professor Thos. i", Adkin, president of the Instiiute of Phy- sicians and Surgeons. "If I did not know positively and absolutely that my new home treatment will cure every known disease, even when all 0 her methods of treatment fail, | would cons.der I was committing a crime to nake such a statement to the public. Nothing is 80 precious to a man as his health --nothing o horrible as an untimely grave. Little ils, f not promptly cured. often result in obstinate chronic diseases. I be.ieve that my new dis. :overy, "Vitaopathy," is the most marveloui ireatment ever known, and I intend to givy its secre 8 to the world.

He gave me a clear diagnosis of my case and didn't charge me a cent for it.

In ten days I was permanently cured. I feel better now than I have for the past ten years. The free advice Professor Adkin gives is a blessing Jo shose who cannot afford to pay big docters ills.
