THE GREAT REMEDY
FOR ALL
DISEASES or THE BLADDER
And KIDNEYS.

This Remedy has stood the test of time, has
been weighed in the scales OF public opinion,
and to-day has an army of men, women and
children, who over their own signatures bear
testimony to its curative properties. Some
have been cured OF Diabetes, some of Brght's
Disease some of Inflammation OF the Bladder.
some of Catarrh of the Bladder, some OF lncon-
Thence OF the Urine, some of Leucorrhea, or
Whites. some of pains in the Back and Loinss
some of diseases of the Prostate Gland.
For all Diseases arising
from a diseased state of the
Bladder and Kidneys, this
Remedy stands without q
Rival.
Without rival in the number of cures
effected; without a rival in the purity OF its
composition; without rival in number OF
bottles sold. The annual sale OF Smiths Ex-
tract of May Flower exceeds the sales OF all
other Kidney Remedies combined.
DR.. ELI IVES, says: THAT in many aggra-
waited cases, when Buchu had failed to produce
any benefit May Flower has effected speedy
cure"
DR. J. H., BIRD, says II have found May
Flower to be a remedy for all Kidney COM
plants, far superior to Buchu or Juniper"
DIR II. F. MARTIN, says: May Flower acts
more promptly in ali diseases of the Bladder
and Kidneys than any remedy which has come
under my notice."
DR.. BENZ. II. LONG says: al have found
May Flower exceedingly beneficial in my treat
ment of females"
DR. VINO. D. HUYVETTER, says: without
doubt May Flower is destined to work a revo-
luton in the treatment of diseases peculiar to
the urinary organs"
DR. KING. in compiling his dispensatory,
has paid a merited tribute to this remedy. See
page 1896 Kings Dispensatory.
Anumber OF authorities might be quoted, but
there are none more eminent than the names
above III addition TO these authorities, a liv-
ing host of 60.OOO, whose certificates are on file
in the office of the proprietors of this remedy
bear testimony to It's virtues.

1t was lately our lot to spend few DAYS
at Prospect Harbor, at the residence of l..
W. Cleaves. During that short soiourn we
formed decided liking for the place.
Though the natural advantages of the place
contributed in part, not the least which went
to create that liking was the generous So
ciability of the people
Could public attention once be diverted, in
part, from the glitter and glare of the older
and better known watering places 10 some
such points on our coast as this vicinity.
there is no doubt that many would come
nearer finding the real. genuine comfort
which they seek, than by spending their va
cations at the more fashionable centers. Il
presents plain contradiction of terms to
see people packing their trunks in Boston,
New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and other
like society and business centers for as they
term 1t, little rest and recreation, where
they can escape the care and turmoil of bus
mess, cast aside the strict demands and toy
gerry OF style and fashion, and acquire an
ease unembarrassed by these things to see
these same persons come TO our older and
more famous resorts and plunge into an eti-
quette and ritual of fashion more intense,
by Tar, than they leave behind them at home
There are many points on our coast that
present attractions, unsurpassed by the at
fractions of those places already selected as

sons, who have not an income Of such over

nuity to get rid Of it. can find rest few
weeks and not be Impoverished the balance
of the year in getting square again and
where persons who have such incomes, but
primarily desire comfort and healthfulness.
and make display secondary matter, can
also enjoy themselves.

more famous resorts. 1t has fine sea view.

tiles, and well stocked stores. Is in direct

city to Haverstraw and Cornwall. Accounts
Of the number of passengers on board vary
from 80 to 200, and of the killed from 3 to
