RHEUMATISM PREVALENT
Caused by the Sudden Changes of
 Temperature.
PEOPLE WHO HAVE FOUND RELIEF.

Rheumatism is more prevalent here than ever before.
 When this disease fastens upon an in- dividual with it's soreness and pain, swelling the joints, rendering him helpless in his movements. and shattering his use fulness, he is indeed an object of pity.
 The slight pain in the back. pain or stiff ness of the joints or muscles, is a warning indication of an Impoverished condition of the blood, a low state of health, and if not attended to at once, means rheu- matism.
 Rheumatism can now be relieved and cured.
 Since the introduction of Favorite Rem- edy. by Dr. David Kennedy, of Rondout, N. Y., there has been fewer sufferers than ever before.
 Favorite Remedy drives out rheumatic poison from the blood, restores the circu- lation, strengthens the nerve power.
 The best proof of its value is the good 1t has done.
 II was afflicted with infammatory rheuma- tism for fifteen years. writes MT P P Tayer, of posed to be a cripple for life. Under physicians treatment grew worse. Dr: Kennedy's Favor; it, and entirely cured me. Have felt no trace of the disease since and that was three years ago."
 The beautiful daughter of MT. James Nc Farland, of DeMoines, Ia., was help less for months with sciatic rheumatism. After a few doses of Dr. Kennedy's Fav- orite Remedy, she began to grow better, appetite impro we'd, slept we'll, and con- tinuing it's use, was cured.
 1T was confined to my bed with rheumatism near my heart, WIT ties Mir. o. L. Seayer, of Bir. mingham, Conn, and used Dr. Kennedy Favor ite Remedy but a short while before it drove the rheumatism out of my system"
