FOUND COMPLETE CuiIE FOR

Si - feted for Six Years, but Found

• Old:. Reliable Remedy.
Marie East, Bonaventure Co.,
Quebec, • February 26 (Special).—
Mi.` Peter Bernard, a prosperous
young farmer living near here, is
spreading the good news that he has
found a complete cure for his kid-
ney troubles. ,
"I suffered for six years from
cramps in the muscles and kidney
disease," Mr. Bernard says, ` "but
Dodd's':Kidney Pills cured me com-
pletely. Yes, I am feeling so well
that want other sufferer's to know
just how,• :easy it is to be cured."
It is a good old saying that it is
easy to do anything if you just
know how.. And Mr. Bernard and
hundreds of others are telling you
just how to cure kidney disease.
Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure
it. And as kidney disease is the
direct cause of rheumatism, lumba-
go, Bright's disease, heart disease,:
peen' in the bank and urinary trou-
bles Dodd's Kidney Pills cure them
by removing the cause: If -you.
haven't used Dodd's Kidney Pills
yourself ask your neighbors about
them.
NOT HIS FAULT.

Although most women are well;

A Scotch statute of 1228, under
Alexander II. (1214-1249), however,
preceded the above, and will appear
tobe even more stringent:
"It is statet and ordaint that dur-
ing the year of his maist blissit ma-
jestic, ilk fourth year known as leap
year, ilk maiden lady of both high
and low estait, shall hae liberty to
bespeak ye man she likes, albit,
he refuses to take her to he his wife

tait may be, except and anis if he
can make it oppear that he is be-
trothed to ane woman, that he shall
