i. A. Few Words About Doctor David
 Kennedy.

] sS~zw s
 While Dr. Kennedy has proved himself an excellent -pby ysician, and discovered the most valuable medicine ever offered to an afflicted public, 1t must not be forgotten that he de- servedly stands second to none in this country as surgeon" gx
 For instance, we would cite the case of Mir, Abram Ellsworth, of Port Ewen, Ulster G., N. 7., who had suffered for more than TwEN- TY 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 a Cripple, and suffering pain and the inconvenience of carving an almost useless limb, he has acquired competency far beyond what most of men would have done under similar circumstances. MT. Ellsworth was induced to consult Dr. Kennedy, who at once realized the situation and plainly and frankly told the sufferer thak 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 perfectly rotten from one end to the other, and thus proved the correctness of Dr. Kennedy's diagnosis. MT. Ellsworth made a rapid recoy- cry, and remains to this dag the perfect pie ture of health.
 Dr. Kennedy does not hesitate to say that the happy result of this and ether 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 facilitated 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

My Experience with Chromos and
 Things.

Mr. EditOr.-In September, 1877, an agent the usual exhortation with the extra induce ment of the paper for five months FREE; the year to commence in March 1878; also magnificent chromo. I withstood his eloquence until he proposed that 1 should pay my subscription in eggs; then, my hens being honest and industrious, consented. We'll, in due time, my paper and chromo came, the paper containing stories with fearful titles such as ''The Black Ghost, ''The Dev- il's Express" "A Night with Corpse" etc., any quantity of advertisements of splendid jewelry, such as 'ladies gold bracelets, highly chased for 30 cents pair; gold watches, gold sleeve buttons, rings" etc. etc., all sold by P. O. Vickery at the most seductive prices. What a mercy that have no taste for such things or am afraid not only all the eggs but those blessed old hens would have gone too. In the spring the agent made his appearance | prepared to frame the chromo. I resisted his again, and it being washing day, couldn't spend the whole day saying, ''no." So re- ferred him to my husband whs broke down and allowed him to frame it, paying him prob ably five times the worth of the chromo. Let all agents beware of saying chromo to me here after
 My paper came regularly until September, 1878, when received circular stating that their agents had got things so mixed that they could not tell who were entitled to the five months subscription, but all who would send one dollar, should receive the paper for one l year, and chromo entitled the 'sFlight into l Egypt" which is described as representing ''Ddcid and Mary with the infant Jesus fleeing from Herod!" Now that chromo must be worth having, to hang in Sunday school. The rising generation would be astonished to see the valiant King David running away from Herod. It seems to me thai MT. F. o. V. must have got his ehronology sninAd -
 depended upon those papers to cover my pantry shelves after the spring cleaning. The New York Tribune, which has served for twenty years, having changed it's form, is of no use, not even to light the fire, being so satu- rated with lye (Please print correctly, as do not mean to lnsinuate that a paper, Rounded by Horace. Greeley" would tell Q he) No indeed F e ,s<
 But, to prove that bear no malice, I advise all readers of the Enquirer who are in want of a first class swindle (either literary, ornament al,-or chromo) to apply at the shop of P. n Vickary Auo,,sfa Mo;no

Or. H. NJ. Knight of Lakeville was ordain. ed deacon of Salisbury Congregational chnrch a week ago last Sunday. .-Nesos.
 A doctor is not often good, but, when he is good, he is almost sure to be made deacon. or church warden at the very least. We could cite numerous instances to prove this general rule. The good lawyer, on the other hand, gets political, rather. than ecclesiastical promotion. He may become a congressman. or governor. but We never heard of lawyer in active practice being made deacon. Even Judge Foster, of New Hartford, has never, so far as we have heard, been ordained to that of flee.
