a Marvellous Success.

The old and historic town Of Kingston
is well worth visit by every resident of
the State of New York, with whose early
history it is very closely identified. Here
the first Governor, the valiant and patri-
otto soldier and Statesman, George Clin-
ton, was sworn into office. Here the first
Legislature met, only to be driven away
by the British soldiers under Vaughan,
who, enraged at the devotion Of the people
to the American cause, fired the peaceful
village and left it heap of ruins. But
the Old town survived its season of trial,
and to-day is one Of the most prosperous
cities of the State. The spirit Of modern
progress has seized the conservative de-
scendants OF the original Dutch and
Hugeuot settlers, and their liberty-loving
children of revolutionary times, and the
tide Of improvement is making it beau
tiful and charming place. With Rondout
embraced in its municipality, Il numbers
a large and busy population.
A tour through It's streets reveals many
evidences OF its thrift. The number of
new and handsome business buildings Is
especially noteworthy. Prominent among
them is DR.. David Kennedy's establish
ment, which deserves more than passing
notice. 1t is monument to an unusually
successful career.
DR.. Kennedy came to Rondout about
fifteen years ago, and began the practice
OF his profession. He had already had
large and varied experience. A graduate
of the Philadelphia Medical College,
which ranks as one of the best institutions
of its kind in the world, hs soon attained
prominence and celebrity as a physician
and surgeon. Later he served with dis
tinctiOn as a field and hospital surgeon
during the war, being for time in charge
OF the great government hospitals at
Philadelphia.
AT Rondout he gave himself up to the
profoundest study of the curative pro-
perties Of medicines, and while so engaged
ne made the discovery which has placed
him among the benetactors of bis race and
given him worldwide fame. 1t is not too
much to say that Fav0rite Remedy. as he
appropriately calls bis discovery, IS a
household word through the length and
breadth OF the land. It's present enor-
nous popularity has been evolved by its
intrinsic merits and from the smallest of
beginnings. The single little room which
served as laboratory and business office
has given place to the elegant structure
in which DR.. Kennedy now has his head
quarters.
1t includes under one root a large and
we'll arranged mandatory, with all the
appurtenances necessary to managing the
immense and complicated business grow
ing out of the sale Of the Remedy. The

directing every detail of his vast enter
prise, yet lending a ready ear and a help
ing touch to the patients who throng TO
consult him regarding their ailments.
such are the surroundings and occupation
OF citizen of whom Kingston is Justly
proud.
NO visit to the place would be entirely
satisfactory which did not embrace a cali
