OF DR.. David Kennedy, the eminent Physician

since, in condition to excite the sympathy OF
the most cold -blooded and hard hearted person
in the world. We say he came-he was rather
carried TO the Doctors Office, for he was totally
helpless, and bore the weight OF 80 years be-
sides. lie had suffered long from Retention
OF Urine, and had all the symptoms OF an ag-
gravated case OF calculus formation in the
bladder. The usual instrumental examination
revealed the presence in the bladder OF urn-
airy calculus OF uncommon size. DIR. Kennedy
frankly told Mr.. Westfall that, owing to his
age and debility, an operation was out OF the
question, but that he could, by the prescrip-
tion OF "Kennedy's Favorite Remedy to-
gether with local treatment, make him COM
Portable and leave him to live QUE all his days.
