full of smoke, the bed on fire, and burning
uncomfortably near the man, who was in

the man from his drunken and almost fatal

BOLD BUT SUOCeSsFUL SURGICAL OPERATION. We copy the following from the RondOut Freeman thinking that it may be interesting to some of our readers, as the Dr. Kennedy spok- en of is the discoverer and sole proprietor of the celebrated Favorite Remedy, a medicine that is fast taking the place of ali other prep aratlons for the cure of those diseases for which it is so highly recommended.
 CAPITAL SURGICAL OPERATION. There was successfully performed in the village of Ron- dout, on the afternoon of the 9th inst, at the office of Dr. Kennedy, Ou Simeon TietSell, of Kingston, one of the most delicate operations known in surgica, science, viz the removal of q stone from the bladder by lithotomy. left lateral method.
 Three calcula or stones of the phosphate of lime were removed each being about the size and shape of large almond.
 The operation was performed by Dr. kenne- dy assisted by several physicians of Rondout and Kingston.
 Our citizens may well feel a great degree of pride as well as explicit confidence, in the skill of Dr. Kennedy, for his experIence on the field and in the hospital during our wars | long winter night have made him not only skilful, but brave in the greatest of all sciences | Surgery. Had this and similar cases used Dr. Kenne- dy's Favorite Remedy in the early stages of the complaint there is no doubt but that the | formation of stone would have been prevent | ed, thus avoiding the necessity of subjecting | themselves to one of the most difficult opera tions that the Surgeon is called upon to per- form.
 Favorite Remedy also purifies the Blood, thereby curing Scrofula, and all like atfiic-l tions. Liver Complaints, Constipation of the Bowels, as well as all those Weaknesses pecu- liar to Females. This excellent medicine is now for sale by all our druggists at One Dollar bottle. 22-4w
