Mrs. --_--_-- Discharped From Two Toronto Hospitals--Dodd's Kidney Pills Brought Back Her Health. Toronto, Feb. 8.--(Special).-- The eport from Collingwood of the won- lerful cure of Mrs. Thomas Adams of bright's. Disease by Dodd's Kidney Pills. has aroused great interest here ind the discussion of it has brought sut the fact that Mrs. Adams' case s not an isolated one, that right in foronto there are people who, suffer- ng from the most dreaded and fatal of Kidney Diseases, have found @ yositive and permanent cure in Dodd's Kidney Pills. One of the most striking cases that jas been brought to light is that of Mrs. Fred. Philip, now residing on ll state, thadow of a doubt. She was in two ity hospitals, Grace and the Gener- uv, and left both places without a jope for the future." IN THE HOSPITALS. Grace Hospital the doctors wished to operate on her, but -she pbjected, - and leaving the hospital talled in another doctor. He told ner at once that she had Bright's Disease and had her removed to the Beneral Hospital. The doctors here femurred to an operation on ac sount of the danger. On being discharged a second time without benefit Mrs. Philip stopped the doctors and started to take Dodd's Kidney Pills. The result is that to-day all the terrible swelling gone, she is able to do all her pwn work as well as look after her bright little four-year-old child. In an interview Mrs. Philip spoke lreely of her terrible trouble and gave unstinted: praise to Dodd's Kidney Pills. MRS. PHILIP'S cee "T was sick for six mont she said, "before taking eros 8 wri Pills. During that time I was six weeks in Grace Hospital and two months in the General Hospital. I was told in both places that nothing more could be done for me. I started taking Dodd's Kidney Pills in April and am still using them. They have done me a world of good. The Dropsy has all left me and I am now doing all my own work just the same as I was before I was sick.' The talk these cases has caused has * piso served to show how general the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills has' be- come and how numerous are the cures effected of Pain in the Back, Rhcuma- tism, Dropsy, and all the other re- sults of diseased Kidneys. In _ fact cures by Dodd's Kidney Pills can be found by the hundred, but a case in which they have failed to cure has yet to be reported. PERSONAL POINTERS.

The Earl of Leicester holds, in more than one respect, a unique posi- tion in the British peerage. He has been the, father of eighteen' chilcren, of- whom fourteen survive, and he numbers among his sons-in-law four earls, a viscount, and a baron. There is a difference of age of close on half a century between his eldest daughter and his youngest son, and he is at orice a great-grandfather several times over, and also the proud father of a ,iboy of ten. Another most astonish- ing fact in Lord Leicester's- family history is that his second marriage (to Miss Georgina Cavendish) took place exactly 100 years after his fa- ther's wedding, the respective dates being 1775 and 1875. Sir Henry Thompson was the pio- neer of the movement in England for the adoption of cremation. He is one of the foremost surgeons in the world and, besides, a man of extraordinar- ily varied attainments. He has ex- hibited his paintings at the Royal Academy and the Salon, Paris; writ- ten novels of merit, produced stand- ard works on cremation and surgery, and at. eighty-three years of age drives a motor-car. A friend called upon him to discuss cremation. The great specialist was at home Wimpole Street, London, but "not at home'"' for the moment to patients no matter how exalted their rank. The privileged friend was shown in- to Sir Henry's--not surgery, but studio. There he was hard at work on a picture for an exhibition. Lord Charles Beresford, who would be hard to beat fur popularity in the Navy, had a favorite hobby as a boy which Was on a way prophetic of his future calling. 'This hobby os pastime was that of modelligg boats, and he was excecdingly skilful in this direction. These boats he would give as birthday presents to those people for whom he had some special affection. Quite a number of them are in existence. "I would give any- thing to get one of them back,' he remarked one day, "as a reminis- cence of my schoolboy days. I offer- ed one old friend $250 for a little model which certainly was not worth $1. But neither he nor any of those who possess them will part with them. So, after all, I- must console mysclf with the thought that my little boats are regarded by those who have them with a certain amount of affection." --__4--_---- WELL POSTED.
