DEAR SIR: l am an engineer on the Old Colony
Railroad and run the Fall River boat tram between
| Fall River and Lowell, residing in Taunton. For
ten years suffered everything but death from dys-
| pepsia. Often had such binding sick headaches
that could scarcely see. think this was due part
y to 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 my
| eyes, which would feel as big as mans nsts My
breath was very offensive, and my food soured as
soon as il entered my stomach. In fact nay stomach
felt as though it was great raw and sore SURFACE,
and what agony it gave perhaps you can imagine. d
In the summer and fall of 1876 when we had the
heavy centennial travel the constant jar brought on
acute attacks nearly every week and thought
should have to leave the road. But kept as work
until the next spring, when grew so much worse
that my labor and my life too, were about over

better. The and sore feeling left my stomach,
and the swapping pains left my head and 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
