BARNES, OF EAT PORT- AGE, TELtS OF THE TRIALS OF THE EARLY SETTLER Suffered Terribly From Kidney Complaint, but Was Speedily Relieved and Qured by Dodd's Kidney Pills. Rat Portage, Ont., Dec. 1.â€" (Spe- tial)â€" Everybody in Rat Portage knows H. .S. Barnes, father of a former mayor, and one of the oldest Inhabitants of the metropolis of New Ontario. Though se\enty-nine years of age, Hr. Barnes looks younger [han many men of many fewer years, and is possessed of wonderful vital- ity and activity. A pioneer of this district, Mr. Barnes tells many tales of early life In the wilds of New Ontario, but aono more interesting than the fol- lowing : "I was terribly troubled with Kidney Complaint. I suffered severe- ly Willi pains across m.v back, and with a scalding, burning sensation when urinating that was very paiii- ful. "Though I had little faith in pro- prietary medicines, 1 had a box of Dodil's Kidney Pills in the house that 1 had procured for my wife, and commenced taking thcui with good -effect. "It was not long tiii my acquaint- ances started to greet me on the street with 'Hello. Mr. Barnes, how young you are looking.' They were not astray. I felt smart too. and feel younger and in iJOtter health than I have been for years. My Kidney Com'daint was completely cmed bv Dodd's Kidney Pills." "This bell."- said a well-meaning se.xton. when showing tho belfry _ of an interesting viliage church to a party of vi.sitors, "is only rung in case of a fire, a tlood. a visit from the lord bishop of the dioce.se. or any .such calamities."
