(from the corresponds nee of the Kingston, n. Y.
FresRaR.)
The case of Mrs. Edward Myers of Rond-
out, New York, furnishes an apt illustration
of woman's power of endurance. This lady
had been treated for months in the usual way
for erysipelas of the hand without benefit. Not
until her hand had become mass of putrefied
flesh did she turn to DR.. Kennedy, proprietor
of the 'Favorite Remedy" for help.
He ar once informed her that il was impos-
sible TO save her hand-it must be amputated
She received this terrible intelligence quietly,
declined 10 take ether. stipuiating merely to
hold her husbands hand during the operation,
and underwent the painful process without
moving a muscle or uttering groan. DR.
Kennedy then gave ''Favorite Remedy freely
TO cleanse the blood and prevent the return OF
the disease. and Mrs. Myers now lives and
reioices in her great deliverance.
