Another striking case is now added to the list. Mir. Peter Lawler, of Dalton, Msss states in a letter to Dr. Kennedy that he had Been troubled with bladder complaint for l4 years and had consulted at different times seven physi- sIans; but nothing beyond temporary alignment of the pain had been worked. Towards the end of last January MT. Lawler called on Dr. Ken nedy. Sounding him, the doctor "struck stone." He decided that MT. Lawler should first try the "Favorite Remedy" so as, if possible to avoid an operation. And here is the remarkable result:
 Dear Doctor Kennedy-The day after I came hons passed two gravel stones, and am doing nicely now. If you would like to see the stones VII send them to you" This letter bears date Dalton, Mass., Feb. 9th" and is signed "Peter Lawler" The stones, which so large as to war rant for "Kennedy's Favorite Remedy " the claim that it is the most successful specific for Stone vet dlscovered, are now in Dr. Kennedy's possession Incidentally Mr. Lawler also states that the Fnv. oute Remedy" at the same time cured him of A stubborn case of Rheumatism; and it is fact that m all directions arising out of disorder of the liver or urinary organs it is searching remedy and works marvellous benefits.
