Hancock, of this lively town, ii known by ths travelling fraternity all over the conn- try as the joint proprietor with Mr. Wm. Sadler, of one of the finest dol- lar HIT hotels in the Dominion of Canada, and h* is known further as one of th* most genial and go-ahead hotel men in th* country, his nous* being th* equal in comfort and ap- pointments of th* average hotel of double the rates. It will interest travelling men to know that Mr. Han- cock thoroughly endorses Dodd's Kid- ney Pills. Some tim* ago guests of th* Iro- quom might have noticed that Mr. Hancock seemed to be troubled with backach*. Indeed that gentleman often complained with great vigor about th* pain and inconvenience it caused him. Well, all that is now of the past. Mr. Hancock is happy to announce that Dodd's Kidney Pills hare cured him. It cannot be too often impressed U),n the minds of thune suffering with backache that it is the kidnevs that are affected. The kidneys are internal, and external treatment can- not do any good. Liniments and oils can only soften the muscles, they do not reju-l, the kidnevs. Dodd's Kid- ney ['ill have cured more cases of barkai-ue than anv other iin-.li.-ine in tli" wirld Miupiv U-eause they act on the kidney*. Mr. H.in.-iH-k of the Iroquuii Hotel. Gall, wnlen: "1 liav been troubled for one year with severe ]iains wruas my twk.
