Should be kept constantly at hand, for
use in emergencies of the household.
Many mother, startled in the night by
the ominous sounds of Group, finds the
little sufferer, with red and swollen face,
gasping for air. In such cases Ayers
Cherry Pectoral is invaluable. Mrs. Emma
Gedney, 1859 West 12S st., New York,
writes: "While in the country, last
winter, my little boy, three years old, was
taken i'll with Group; it seemed as if he
would die from strangulation. Ayers
Cherry Pectoral was tried in small and
frequent doses, and, in less than half an
hour, the little patient was breathing
easily. The doctor said that the Pectoral
saved my darling's life.'' Mrs. Chas. B.

Running a Locomotive While DeafhIy
sick-Something the Passengers Did Nos
Know-A Physician Saves an Engineer.
TAUNTON, Mass.
DEAR SIR: / am an engineer on the Old Colony
Railroad. and run the Fall River boat train between
Fall River and Lowell, residing in Taunton, For
ten years suffered everything but death from dys-
that could scarcely think this was due part
ly irregular habits of eating, and partly to the jar
of the engine Sometimes my head would snap like
neuralgia, and again the pain would settle in nv
eyes, which would feel as big mans fists. NV
breath was very, offensive, and my food soured as
soon as it entered my stomach. In fact my stomach
felt as though 1t was great raw and sore surface
and what agony it gave perhaps you can imagine.
In the summer and fall of 1875 when we had the
heavy centennial travel the constant jar brought on
acute attacks nearly every week and 1 thought I
should have to leave the road. But kept at work
until the next spring, when | grew so much worse
that could virtually eat nothing, and concluded
that my labor, and my life too, were about over.
Remember that had tried every medicine heard
Of and had been treated by some of the best phys-
clans in Taunton and Lowell. At this critical time
DIR. DAVID KENNEDY'S FAVORITE REMEDY
was recommended to me. 1t was new to me, and
with my experience of medicines, you easily for
give me for saying that had not particle of faith
in it.
L had taken it but few days when began to get
<better. The raw and sore feeling left my stomach
and the swapping pains left my head, and soon was
thing that ever did the least good and it drove
every ache, pain and discomfort completely out of
my body. Now keep KENNEDY'S FAVORITE
REMEDY with me on my engine, and it goes where
ever 60.
Why, believe FAVORITE REMEDY will cure
anything. One night, a while ago, John Layton. an
engineer who runs the main line boat train from
Boston, came on my engine sick as death. He was
worn out with work. had a high fever, and was so
nervous he almost broke down crying. "Nonsense
John'' said, i'cheer up, I've got something on my
engine that viii set you up in iitfy." took ont
my bottle of FAYORITE REMEDY, lifted his
head and gave him good dose. He went to bed.
Two days after saw him looking healthy as
butcher. sDan," he said, s'whBt was the stuff you
yava M the other niphfo', waa
KENNEDY'S FAVORITE REMEDY, Rondout, N.
w." said l." 'iWell, don't care whose Remedy it
is, it's the thing for man the railroad" So say
we all. Yours, ETC., DANIEL Fits.
This preparation goes to the root of, disease by
purifying the blood and rousing every organ into
healthy action. 1t is useful at home, shops, in
Office everywhere

HARTFORD, Conn, November 23.-Mrs.
Julia Smith Parker, one of the famous
Smith sisters of Attorney COW notoriety is
on her death bed. She was brought into
prominence eight or nine years ago, when
she and her sister Abbie refused to pay
taxes in the town of Glastonbury because
they were not allowed to vote. The town
authorities seized couple of fine Alder

sisters were the successful bidders and
thus paid their taxes with additional
costs. This was repeated number of

known all over New England. A curious

and her mother died, while fourteen
years elapsed between the deaths of her
father and mother. Mrs Parker is nearly
ninty-four years, and up to the time of the
accident was able to visit this city

should marry. after living single nearly
fourscore years and ten.
Mrs. Parker's death is only question
of time, as her surgeon was unable to set
the bones or remedy the injury other
