Shandaken, n. Y.--One OF the most
prominent men IN Ulster County, is the
Hon. Davis Winnie, of this town. His
reputation Is not confined alone to this
county, where he held the office of
Sheriff for three years; he was also this
districts representative in the New
York State Legislature. For years Mr..
Winnie has been suffering from compli-
Gated case of kidney and bladder trouble
and congestion of the liver.
Upon the advice of friends he decided
to try Dir. kennedy's Favorite Remedy.
He was not disappointed, for in short
while after he began its use, he was in
bstter health than he had been In years
before.
In speaking of Favorite Remedy to
your correspondent, Mr.. Winnie said;
at has done more for me than all the
physicians ever employed, and most
unhesitatingly recommend it to anyone
suffering from kidney, liver or urinary
troubles, for it will relieve their suffer-
ing and cure them"
DR.. Kenue Tvs Favorite Remedy is to-
day the acknowledged specific for all
diseases arising from acidity of the blood
and will cure dyspepsia, rheumatism,
