MEN AND WOMEN INTERESTED.

at is astonishing" said one of our
physicians the other evening, show
many of the ordinary diseases people
suffer from come from the one cause
excess of uric acid in the blood.
TO discover a medicine that would
dissolve this acid has puzzled thous.
ands of the best men of the medical
profession, until DR.. David Kennedy,
of Rondout, N. Y, produced what is
known the world over as DR.. Xennedy's
Favorite Remedy. The great value
we place in Favorite Remedy comes
from the fact that it is the only medi-
cine that will effectually dissolve this
acid thus curing rheumatism, dyspep
sia, kidney, liver and urinary troubles
and the scknesses women suffer from.
These and many more troubles all
come from the one cause, as / said
before, this dea,h dealing uric acid"
Perhaps there has been no one per
son in Wyoming Co., Pa, that has
suffered more than Mrs. Carrie Bou-
ton, formerly of Schottville, but now
of Harvey's Lake, Luzerne Co. Mrs.
Bouton, in relating her restoration to
health, said: "From a growing girl
| suffered from female trouble or weak.
ness peculiar to my sex. Several ply
sicians prescribed for me but l found
no relief. l was reduced in flesh down
to 6S pounds. By accident | heard
of DR.. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
and determined to try it, and to my
great JOY | began to realize that had
found medicine that was doing me
good. ! think l had used FIVE bottles
when l found that | weighed I2I5
pounds and was better in health than
ever was before.
Inquiry among Mrs. Bouton's neigh
bors shows that she states nothing but
the facts in regard to her case. Many
other instances OF the kind are widely
talked of in Scottsville, Tunkhannock,
Wilkesbarre and other places where
DR.. Kennedy's Favorte Remedy has
effected many cures after physicians
had given up hope.
But" says one of our prominent
druggists, "Favorite Remedy is equally
efficacious in other diseases, as talks
with people have sold Favorite Re-
medy to affirm. 10 my knowledge
right in our town Favorite Remedy
has cured people suffering from rheu.
matism, dyspepsia, kidney, liver and
urinary troubles"
Since the publication in one OF the
New York medical journals of the
case of Mr., f. P. layer, of East Mas.
sau, N. Y, Dr. Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy has been increasing in sale.
MIR. layer had suffered for fifteen
years with infammatory rheumatism.
His case was practically abandoned
by his physicians. Favorite Remedy
was brought to his notice and in less
than three months after its use he was
a well man.
In commenting on this case DR.. w.
II. Morse, of New York City, says
The great good in Favorte Remedy
lies In Its power to dissolve this dead
ly uric acid. In cases Of dyspepsia,
eczema, scrofula or any urinary di-
seases | have never known it to fail,
when taken according to directions.
DR.. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is not
only used by physicians now but can
be found on sale by every medicine
dealer Wilkes Barre (Pa.) Times.

STRUCTURES FOR COUNTIES
Santa Clara and San Joaquin Wish
Separate Buildings for Their
Own Exhibits.

All of the Midwinter Fair buildings are
looming up in a satisfactory manner The
usual crowd of visitors was on the site in
Concert Valley yesterday and watched the
progress of operations. To the merry ring
of the hammer the various structures nave
made considerable advancement during the
week, and the present condition of the
buildings gives fair idea of their COM
pleted appearance
All the heavy trusses for the Mechanical
Arts building have been laid on the ground,
one overlapping another. One by one they
are being raised, and about quarter oil
the number are now in position. The con-
tractors for the Horticultural building have
followed the plan Of completing one end
of the structure first. The plasterlng Oh
the finished part is now done and work will
be commenced tomorrow on the other
half.
The plan of construction for the Manu-
features and Liberal Arts building is on
such a different plan from that OF any
Of the others that it seems to be making
slower progress. AS matter OF fact there
has already been put into this building
more lumber than Into any other. Ihe
upright brid ge work to support the root 10
being framed, one section at time. anu
laid one truss upon another from END TO
END of the building. When all are COM
pleted there will be general raising day.
when all hands will be put at work hoist
ing these uprights into position.
The bricks of the Fine Arts building are
bringing the walls up to the point where
they are almost ready to receive the roof.
The Workmen will begin to place the roof
in position by the middle of the week. The
flooring of the Administration building is
now occupying the attention of the car
pepters. The system of sewerage has
been outlined in detail, and the laying of
water pipes has been commenced under
the supervision Of George Duffy. sanitary
engineer.
Acting President Mitchell of the execu-
tive committee spent portion OF yester-
day afternoon out at the park going over
the ground with Engineer OSbaughnessy
and trying to find space IN which to place
buildings for which the counties are ask

that part Of the State. Just where all
these buildings are to be located II Is I'M
possible 10 say just al present, but places
must be found for them and will be found.
The Park Commissioners have made 1t
condition in connection with the ceding OF
the recreation grounds to the exposition,
that no building shall be erected thereon.
Ii shall be kept for large asscmblages for
