STATEMENT OF MIR. WASHINGTON MONROE, OF

For many years l had suffered from a
complaint which the physicians called Gravel.
had employed some of the most noted doc
tors without obtaining any permanent relief,
and for long time my case was regarded as
hopeless All who knew the circumstances
said | must die. Finally. my wife induced
me to try bottle of DR.. Kennedy's " Favor
lite Remedy which she had somewhere heard
of or seen advertised Without the slightest
faith in it, but solely to crafty her, bought
bottle of a druggist in our village. / used
that and two or three bottles more, and--to
make a long story short--I am now as healthy
man as there is in the country.
Since then | have recommended Favorite
Remedy to others whom knew - have suf-
fered from Kidney and Liver complaints !;
and, assure the public, that the Favorite
Remedy has done its work with similar
completeness in every single instance, and
trust some other sick and discouraged mortal
may hear of it and try the Favorite Remedy ;

DEATH or DR.. SAMUEL LILLY.

DIR. Samuel Lilly died at his residence in
this city last Saturday, at noon.
He was man who for years exerted a lead
ing influence in the political aud social rela-
tions of this community and section. The
numerous positions he held, legislative, ju-
dicial and military, show him to have been a
man of much more than ordinary ability and
power. Holding for years prominent place
in the community and the State, it is proper
that fitting recognition of his character and
services should be chronicled at this time, and
a friend has kindly prepared at our request
the following obituary sketch
SAMUEL LILLY was born in Geneva onta-
rio County. New York, October 2Sth, 1915. In
1929, at about the age of fourteen years, he
made visit to his uncle, DIR. John Lilly, at
this place, who had become resident here in
1809
When the time of his visit had nearly ex-
PRED, the uncle informed him that it was
necessary for him to go to New York, and re-
quested his nephew to prolong his visit until
his return, which was readily assented to, and
the result was permanent residence with the
uncle and his family.
He became the pupil of Rev. p. o. Studdi-
ford, and received the proper education that
fitted him to enter the Medical department of
the University Of Penna., from which he
graduated in 1887 with credit, and with the
esteem of the officers of the institution and of
his class mates, and which was maintained
through life.
Dr. Lilly Immediately entered upon the
practice of his profession with his uncle and
their success and reputation throughout this
section of country are we'll known.
DIR. Lilly was leading member ofthe Hun
terdon County Medical Society, of the New
Jersey State Medical Society, lin both of
which he hsld important positions,) and in
the American Medical Association he was an
active and energetic member, and as vice
president of this Association, he was called
upon, by disability of the president, to preside
at avery important meeting held in st. Louis,
Mo.
In this vicinity he was the leading surgeon
and physician, and when his skill, medicines,
or instruments failed, he knew where to apply
for the best the profession afforded.
As public man outside the profession OF
medicine, he was active and attentive to all
duties pertaining to the welfare and advance
ment of the interests and general good Of the
community and the confidence of his fellow
citizens is made manifest from the many pc.
sitions he has filed.
For eight years he was director OF the
Board Of Freeholders. He was the first May

neer of the Fire Department, who, heretofore.
