The Perfection of Surgery.

4 LE a z
 We are more than ordinarily gratiiied in copying the following aricle, from the Ron- dout Freeman, because Dr. Kennedy (whose skillful management of the case reported has deservedy placed him in the highest rank of surgeons) is the discoverer of the much spoken of Favorte Remedy. A private letter from a gentleman of Rondout, written without Dr.. Ks knowledge, alluding to the case, says: Il know the patient well, and know that he has been unsuccessfully treated by eminent New York physicians"
 SURGICAL OPERATION The operation of lithotomy (removal of stone from the bladder), one of the most severe and critical operations which the surgeon. is called on to perform, was successfully performed on Tuesday, upon MT. 2, Henry H. Pitts, merchant of this city, by -Dr. Kennedy, of Rondout. Several friends of the patient witnessed the operation. MT. Pitts had suffered several years from this difficulty, but it was only week before the operation that he was made aware of the real cause of his complaint. The Doctor was warmly con- graduated upon the success of his operation, and the opinion of the medical gentlemen pres ent is that the patient will make a good recov- cry. ., v - s- .sz
 RECOVERY. Henry H. Pitts, who was recently operated upon by Dr. Kennedy for removal of stone from the bladder [says the Rondout Freeman of the 9th inst ), has recov- cred from the effects incident to the operation, the closureof the wound being complete on the 18th day. His general health is good-bet- terthan it has been for years while he sperfect- ly free from those distressing symptoms so characteristic of the disease with which he suf- fered, and that necessitated resort to surgical treatment as the only means by which his life could be saved. The speedy restoration of Mir. Pitts to health is certainly worthy subject of congratulation, and we heartily extend ours to all parties concerned Had this and similar cases secured a bottle of Dr. Kennedys Favor ite Remedy for one dollar, and used the medi- cine in the early stages of the complaint there is no doubt but that the formation of stone would have been prevented, thus avoiding the necessity of subjecting themselves to one of the most difficult operations that surgeon is call ed upon to preform.
 Favorite Remedy also purifies the BLOOD, cures constipation of the Bowels, as well as all those diseases and weaknesses peculiar to Fe- males This excellent medicine is now for sale by all our druggists.
