[From The Medical Gazette of June 24th, 1S71.]
For about 8 months have been using KEN
NEDY's CONCENTRATED EXTRACT OF PINUs
CANADENsIs in affections of the rectum, vagina
and cervix uteri, and I consider it a most val
liable remedy. / have used it diluted with wa
ter as a vaginal wash, with great success; but I
prefer to apply it to the os tincae on cotton
wool, either pure or mixed with glycerine, or
glycerine and rose-water. Thus applied, it
should remain intact for two or three days and
then be renewed. In this way / have seen
chronic granular vaginitis remedies in a few
days that had resisted the ordinary remedies
for weeks; 1 have seen granular erosions, with
leucorrha disappear'very rapidly under its use.
1 have not time to say all that could about
it; but 1 am sure that it will soon be recognized
as valuable addition to our Materia Medica.
Knowing Mr.. Kennedy as DOL can confident
ly commend him to my professional brethren.
His method of manufacturing the extract is
such as to warrant it of uniform strength and
purity. .-s

THEATRE.-Bidwell and Wilkinson's Dramat-
ic Company was greeted with large audience,
at Music Hall last evening, and the play of
"The Pretty Panther" gave satisfaction by
the manner in which it was presented. Miss
Dolle Bidwell as La Vavasor, displayed her re-
markable genius to the best advantage. Mr..
Wallace Britton, as Lord Cecil Strathmore, was
faultless in his impersonation of the difficult
character. Mr.. Britton is one of the most
promising tragedians on the American stage,
and one may predict for him brilliant future.
The other characters were finely sustained.
This evening the new sensational drama,of
"',Bertha, the Sewing Machine Girl" will be
presented. This drama is founded upon Francis
S. Smiths popular story of the same name, and
portrays the trials and temptations of the poor
and unprotected working girls in our larger
cities.

EMANCIPATION ANNIvERsARY.AThe 9th an
niversary of AbrahamsLincoln's proclamation
of freedom was celebrated at the Newbury street
Church, last evening The church was appro-
priatcly decked with flags, and portrait of the
lamented President, and representation of the
instrument of which he was author, adorned.
the rear of the pulpit. Mr. Elbridge P. Talbot
presided, and called on the Rev. Samuel Har-
rison to offer prayer. A quintette club sung
the "Star Spangled Banner" Prof. Thwing
then read Boxers "Black Regiment" poem
commemorative of the assault of colored troops
on Port Hudson, May 27, 1863 "Stand by the
President" was next sung, followed by an ad-
dress by Rev. NJ. H. Williams. He dwelt brief
ly ON the magnitude of the event celebrated,
not to the colored race, alone, but to the world;
one of those terminal points toward which the
providential plans of God had long been tend
moral elevation yet to be accomplished, and the
need of patience in the development of a per-
feet manhood on the part of those enfranchised.
"John Brown" was sung. Prof I. then read
a selection from Tennyson,-" Ring out, wild
bells.' The "Flag of our Union" was given
by the choir
Mayor Kingsbury, on being introduced, re-
marked that no greater event had occurred since
the advent of Christ, than that here celebrated.
Not four millions of slaves, only, but forty mil
lions of white people were freed by this glorious
act. 1t is thousand Fourth of July celebra-
tions in one. The circumstances which led to
the event, and the consequences flowing there
FROM with the responsibilities thereto attached,
were briefly sketched. His reference to Lincoln
elicited loud applause. After more music, a
| collation. was served in the basement of the
| church. The exercises were carried out with
spirit, and reflect credit upon all concerned.

THE New YEAR greeted us mildly, almost
cheerfully. The soft, warm air and the hazy
sky almost cheated one into the belief that the
advent of spring was close at hand and the
Christmas boughs were hanging crisp and scar.
But January looks two ways, and before he has
done his reign we may expect to look upon his
darkest frowns and severest expressions. Let
us hope that with all his changes he will not
prove so disagreeable companion as his broth
er December-a most capricious month, who
gave us scarcely an endurable day, his tempera-
ture running almost all the degrees that it is
possible for northern winter, with frosts, sleet
rain, little sunshine and many clouds.

MEssRs. Cook & AYERs.-In these times of
frequent changes it is seldom that we can find
in one of our cities business firm that has ex-
listed for quarter of century. A little while
ago, we were looking over file of newspapers
of twenty-five years since, and could count up,
on the end of our fingers, the business houses
that had undergone no change in that eventful
period. The number was surprisingly small.
Messrs. Cook & Ayers, who have just dissolved
date back as firm nearly thirty-four years; J.;
and each member may point to this fact with
pride, as strong evidence of the unvarying con-
fidence reposed in them by the public and a
long list of patrons. Now the senior partner re-
tires in consequence of ill health land may we
hope, with substantial results of long and
honorable career), and Mr.. Ayers will hereafter
"run the shop" alone, assisted by Mr.. Albion
Prince, as cutter. Mr. Prince is known to be
one of the best of his profession in the city,
and his superior, probably, is not in New Eng
land He is able to sustain the reputation OF
the old firm for good fitting garments, and we
trust that the good fortune of Mr.. Ayers is to
be uninterrupted for long time to come.
