Are You a Sufferer
E F. Tayer and Solomon Davis Speak to Victims of These Terrible Diseases.
From Rheumatism or Neuralgia

E. P. Tayer of East Nassau, N. Y., says: q wish it possible to speak per sonally to every rheumatic victim, for l would tell them of my terrible experi- ence and the relief and cure I found in a simple remedy.
 When I first saw in the newspapers 'Rheumatism can be cured, l was loath to believe it, but when I found that the statement was made by pr David kenne- dy of Rondout, N. Y., l inquired into it and upon his advice l began to use Dr David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. My condition at that time seemed hopeless. had suffered for 15 years with infiam- matOry rheumatism. My physician said I would be cripple for life, but it was not ordained that way, for l had not used Favorite Remedy long before l was convinced that it was the right medicine and in a short while I was cured. That was three years ago and l have not felt trace of the disease since."
 Solomon Davis of North kortright, N. r., suffered awfully from neuralgia and loss of sleep, as is frequently the case with elderly people. In speaking to the writer he said T found that Dr Kennedy's FavoriLe Remedy relieved the bowels, improved the circulation of the blood and the old pain left me altogeth- err
 As prominent physician recently said: ''There is no reason in suffering with rheumatism or neuralgia, for Dr Kennedy's Favorire Remedy will cure them.' All druggists sell it.
