Pennsylvania People Benefited.
MRS. CARRIE BoUToN GAINED IN FLESH
oS LBS. TO I2I Ia LBS. BY THE
USE OF A SIMPLE REMEDY.
MEN AND WOMEN INTERESTED.

ut 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.. Xennedys
Favorite Remedy. The great value
we place in Favorite Remedy comes
from the fact that it is the only medi-
cine that will eifectually dissolve this
acid thus curing rheumatism, dyspep
sia, kidney, liver and urinary troubles
and the sicknesses 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 las
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 ! found
no relief. 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 l began to realize that l had
found medicine that was doing me
good. l think had used five bottles
when l found that l weighed IsIA
pounds snd was better in health than
l 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
DIR. Kennedy's Favonte 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. TO 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.. E. P. layer, of East Mas.
sau, N. Y, DIR. Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy has been increasing in sale.
Mr.. layer had suffered for fifteen
years with inhammatory 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 we'll man.
In commenting on this case DR.. w.
Fl. Morse, of New York City, says
The great good in Favorite Remedy
lies in its power to dissolve this dead
ly uric acid. In cases of dyspepsia,
eczema, scroiula 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.

Judge Porter, Of Pittsburg, has de.
clded that free lunches, when furnished
in liquor saloons, are illegal, basing
his view upon the fact that numbers
of wives of mill workers have com
planned to him "tha, their husbands
did not come home regularly to their
meals, and that one of the reasons
why they did not was because of the
attractions held out to them by saloon
keepers in the form Of free lunches.
If these inducements keep husbands
from home, the inducement must be
abolished" If this be law what is to
become of the free lunch fends, so
many of whom have been enjoying the
luxuries provided by saloon keepers !?
Their occupation will be gone.-E'c.

IT is said that the Chinese are dis
posed to follow the advice of the Six
Companies, which have brought them
to this country and which control them,
and will refuse to register. If they do
they will obey the companies rather
than the law, which the opponents to
the Chinese, advance as best evidence
of their unfitness to live in this coun-
try. By obeying the law they are pro-
tected, but if they get into the courts
they will probably get the worst of it.
The Chinese who are here can stay by
complying with the law, which is de-
signed to keep any others from ocming
