MR. AYERS NOT DEAD.

Very Mnch Alive and Ont with a Letter Tel In x How He Was Saved,} Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 31, 1900. (Special.)—Few who knew how ill Mr. A. E. Ayers of this city had been with Bright's Disease and Diabetes ever expected he could live. Four doctors gave him but three or four days to live. He recovered through the prompt and continued use of a well-known remedy and has given the following letter for publication. It Is dated at Bath, N. Y,, where Mr. Ayers now resides; Soldiers aud Sailors' Home, Bath. N. Y. Dodds Aledicine Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Dear Sirs:— I wish to tell yop what Dodd’s Kidney Pills have done for me. As far aa I am concerned they are the best In the world, for they not only saved my life, but they have given me new life and hope. I lived In Alinneapolis for fortynine years, and am well known there by many people. I suffered severely with Bright’s Disease and Diabetes. Four well-known physicians gave mo up to die. In fact, they gave me only three or four days at the longest to live. I had spent nearly everything I had In the effort to save my life, bnt seeing an advertisement of Dodd’s Kidney Pills, I scraped what was nearly my last half dollar, sent to the drug store and bought a box. I bad very little hope of anything ever doing me any good, as from what the four doctors had told me, it was now a matter of hours with me. I commenced to take the Pilte, and from the very first they helped me. I took in all about forty boxes. I doubtless did not need 60 many, but I wanted to make sure, and after all, $20.00 is a small amount of money to remove tW sentence of death and save one’s life. I have since recommended Dodd's Kidney Pills to hundreds of people, and I have yet to bear of the first one that did not find them all that you claim for them. I can remember of two people to whom I had recommended Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and who afterwards said to me that they received no benefit. I asked to see their Pill boxes, and behold. Instead of Dodd’s Kidney Pills, It was 's Kidney Pills, an Imitation of the genuine Dodd's, and not the real thing at all that they had been using. I gave each of them an empty pill box that Dodd’s Kidney Pills had been put up iu, so that they could make no more mistakes, nndl they afterwards came to me aud told me that they had bought and used the genuine Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and were cured. I still continue to use the Pills off and on, and would not be without them If they were $50.00 a box, I think that every old gentleman in the world would be healthier and better if he would take one after each meal. I wish I could think of words strong enough to express to you my gratitude for what your Medicine has done for me. It is uot often, I suppose, that a man who Is staring death right In the face, is permitted to live aud tell of the means whieh saved him, %nd ae that is my position, my heart is overwhelmed with thankfulness to God for His mercy to me in permitting me to see the advertisement of Dodd’s Kidney Pills, when it seemed that I was beyond all earthly power to save, that I cannot express my real feelings. If anyone doubts the statement I have made, they may write to me, and I will try and prove to them that all I have said In this letter Is true, gnd more than true. There are hundreds of people in Minneapolis who know all about my case and the way Dodd's /Kidney Pills pulled me through, when I had been given up by the four doctors, of Bright’s Disease nnd Diabetes, and had practically lost all hope. You are at liberty to publish this testimonial which I give you from the bottom of my heart, and I sincerely wish that ,1 could find the right words to express my feelings of gratitude to you and to Dodd’s Kidney Pills, for my restoration to life and health. (Signed) A. E. AYERS, Late of Minneapolis, now at Soldiers and Sailors’ Home, Bath, N. Y. Mr. Ayers Is only one of thousands of aged gentlemen who say that their lives have been prolonged and their declining years made worth living by tha use of Dodd’s Kidney Pills.
