All It's Benefits.

Upon taking out a policy a premium note is deposited, part of which only is paid in Cash, and the balance held for assessment in case of loss, beyond the cash payments. But it is believed no assessment will ever be called for. There can be no responsibility beyond the amount of the note. At the end of the term the note with the balance unpaid is giv- en up to the maker. In case of loss 1t is provided that the same shall be adjusted by two disin- terested persons mutually chos en by insured and insurer. If they fail to agree, they shall choose a third party, and their decision shall be final, thus avoiding expensive and tedious litigation.
 The rates have been fixed as low as possible, thus bringing the benefits within the reach of all.

Kennedy's Favorito Remedy. (From the Correspondence of the Kingston, NY,
 The case of Mrs. Edward Meyers, of Rom dout, New York, furnishes anapt illustra- tion of woman's power of endurance. This lady had been treated for months in the usual way for Erysipelas of the hand, with out benefit. Not until her hand had become a mass of purified flesh, did she turn to Dr. KenncdS. pr prietor of the "Favorite Remedy" for help.
 He informed her that it was impossible to save the hand-it must be amputated. She received this terrible intelligence quietly, declined to take ether, stipulating merely to hold her husbands hand during the operation, and underwent the painful process without moving a muscle or utter ing groan. Dr. Kennedy then gave 'Fa- vorite Remedy" freely to cleanse the blood and prevent the return of. the disease, and Mrs. Myers now lives and rejoices in her great deliverance.
 Dr. Kennedy's "Favorite Remedy" is fast becoming trusted household friend in all cases of Female Weakness and dis cases of the blood, Kidney and Liver Com- plaints, and Constipation of the Bowels. (6)
