Taken from the Roundout N. r., Daily Freemanl A Few Words About Doctor David
 Kennedy.

''While Dr. Kennedy has proved himself an excellent physician and discovered the most valuable medicine ever offered to an afflicted public, it must not be forgotten that he de- servedly stands second to none in this country as a surgeon"
 For instance we would cite the case of Mir, Abram Ellsworth, of Port Ewen, Ulster Co.,, N. Y., who had suffered for more than TwEN- TT years from the pain incident to a disease involving the greater portion of the left thigh bone, and during all this time he had been kept in blissful ignorance by the many doctors who had treated him of the real cause of his suffering. He often expressed to the author of this article that he had not experienced the pleasure of one whole nights sleep in twenty years. Although cripple, and suffering pain and the inconvenience O carrying an almost useless limb, he has acquired competency far beyond what most of men would have done under similar circumstances. Mir. Ellsworth was induced to consult Dr. Kennedy, who at once realized the situation, and plainly and frankly told the sufferer that the disease had so far advanced toward the body that nothing was left for him to do but submit to amputa- tion of the leg Consequently, on the 18th of May, 1871, in presence of, and by the assis- tance of several medical gentlemen, Dr. Ken nedy amputated the leg about three inches be- low the hip joint. The bone was found to be PcIoCtiy TOtIcn ITom one enu Io the other, ana thus proved the correctness of Dr. Kennedy's diagnosis. Mir. Ellsworth made rapid recov- cry. and remains to this day the perfect pie ture of health.
 Dr. Kennedy does not hesitate to say that the happy result of this and other cases of a similar character was due to the use of the Favorite Remedy. It was this medicine that purified the Blood. It was this that regulated the Liver and Kidneys, and thus gave tone and strength to the system which had become debilitated by the disease, and in this way pre- venting a return of the disease which necessi- tated so dangerous an operation.
 Favorite Remedy is now for sale by all our druggists, at One Dollar bottle. 34-4w
