It has been made very popular ‘in this community by the hearty enâ€" dorsntion of Mr. Anderson, who is a ‘well known and very highly respected citizen. The success of 'Dodd’s Kidney 'Pills in cases like those of Mr. Anderâ€" son, has created a demand which the llocal druggists have reported as un- ‘lprecedented.

M’aterside, N.B., March 18,â€"Speeial. â€""I halve been no often induced to try patent medicines by the reading of the wonderful cures said to have been effected in nimilar cases, that now. when I feel lit my duty to write the story of my own cure by the use of Dodd’s Kidney Pills, I am carefully avoiding any comment of my own or any complimentary words. I simply state the absolute facts of my case as follows: v " I have been treated by five differ- ent- doctors, and have taken a large amount of patent medicine during the last four years for Kidney Trouble and Lame Back, from which I have been suffering. I was very bad. My life at times seemed a burden. I got no relief until I was persuaded to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. I cheerfully give this unsolicited testimonial, that I have received more benefit from six boxes of Dodd’s Kidney Pills, than £1“an any and all other sources.” ; Mr. Anderson is in earnest.

He claimed that those fifty or more patients, gathered from all over the Dominion of Canada, and some from across the sea. were not only saving their own lives‘ for fur- 'ther usefulness, but saving thousands of precious lives” from infection.

It is astonishing how imany diseases spring from it. It an- nually claims more victims: than smallpox, diphtheria, typhoid fever, yellow fever, Asiatic fever, leprosy, measles and whooping cough comâ€" bined. In Europe the State munich palities, manufacturies‘, insurance companies and private agencies are united in battling with the ravages of this disease. All praise is due to Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal, Sir .\Villiam Meredith and those associated with them. who have started this movement in Canada, and have pro- vided such excellent facilities for the successful conduct of the work.

Suns, who was appointed to act as Segre- tary. read the annual report, of whxch [hi following is a summary :â€" BRITISH AMERICA ASSURANCE COMPANY. The Sixty-seventh! Annual Meeting of the Shareholders of this company was held. at its offices, Toronto. on Thiurrsday, 28th February, 1501L Your directors have the honor to present the annual report and finan- cia} statement of the company’s sixty- scventb year, duly vouched for by its auditors. It will be noted that there Jms been a considerable increase in the premium income for the year, this being mainly due to the business derived from the new fields in which the 90mpany has established business connections, and also to the improved conditions that huge pgeyailed in the marine business. Two- half-yearly dividends hm}: beeri declared ati the rate of 7per cent, per annum, amounting- to $60,323.96. and the reServe fund has been increased to $5§1,457.22. In View of the abnormal fire losses on this continent during the year 1900, including the disastrous conflagraâ€" tion in April last in the cities of Hull and Ottawa, which involved aloss of property to the value of about ten million dollars, your directors feel that the statements herewith sub- mitted must be regarded as satisfac- tory by the shareholders. Summary or Financial Statement. Total cash income. . $1,951,233.34 Total expenditure, includâ€" ing. appropriation for los- Ses under adjustment. . 1,890,347.57 Total assets. ‘ Cash capital. Reserve fu'nd. The capital stock of the company has been increased to one million dol- lars, in accordance with the byâ€"law passed at the last annual meeting, the $250,000.00 new stock authorized to be issued at a premium of 15 per cent. having been all taken up. Dividend declared. Security to policyholders $1,581,457.22 The President, who moved the adopâ€" tion of the report, which was second- ed by the Viceâ€"President, referred to the exceptionally heavy losses.“ by fire on this continent during the year under review. and said that, although the report just read did not present so favorable a showing, as. for. as the balance between income and expendi- ture for the year was concerned, as the preceding annual statements which he had had the honor during the past eight years of submitting to the shareholders, he felt that there was perhaps as much matter for con- gratulation in the figures embraced in the accounts for the year 1900 as in those of some preceding statements which have shown a more favorable balance sheet. It was gratifying to observe the continued increase in the volume of business transacted. \Vhile there had been a satisfactory growth of imcome from fields in which the company had for years past been car- rying on operations, he was glad to be able to say, that. from the agen- cies recently established beyond the limits of this continent, very en- couraging returns have been re- ceived..The predictions that the di- rectors ventured to make a year ago as to a probable improvement in conâ€" ditions of marine business had. he was pleased to say, been realized, and, as a result of the better rates which, speaking generally, had prevailed both upon inland lake and ocean risks there had been a fair margin of profit upon the business written in that branch during the year. But What in his estimation was more amatter of Congratulation than any of the figures to whichl he had referred was the fact that at the close of a year in which the fire losses in Canada and the United States have been very largely in excess of those of average years they were able to present a bal- ance sheet which showed a loss of less than one per cent. upon the premium income as the result of the year’s un- derwriting transactions â€" that is, ignoring the income derived from in- terest and rent.
