From The Medical Gazette of June oath, 1911
For about months have been using KEN
NEDY's CONCENTRATED EXTRACT OF PINUs
CANADRNsIs in affections of the feotunl, vagina
and cervix uteri, and consider it q most val
liable remedy. L have used it diluted with wa
ter as a vaginal wash, with great success; but l
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 1 have seen
chronic granular vaginitis remedies in few
days that had resisted the ordinary remedies
for weeks; I have seen granular erosions, with
leucorrhm disappear very rapidly under its use,
have not time to say all that I could about
it; but am sure that it will soon be recognized
as valuable addition to our Materia Medica.
Knowing Mr.. Kennedy as do 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.

This is to certify that L have used
the Boston Granulated Soap I'm
my Family for the past year, and
like 1t very well. There is one
thing about 1t, it is the best soap L
have ever used, and those to whom
L have given it will say the same.
There is no trouble to use it; put it
iu the tub with the water and
clothes, and you can see the dirt
start out without amy labor. II
does not rot the clothes that have
seen I'm the year we have used il,
and will say this much. L have
got a good Washing Machine, but
since using this soap can do the
washing easier without the ma
chine, than we could using the
other washing soaps with the ma
chine.
One thing more, L will say L don't
