Lost Her Hand, but Saved Her Life.

Lost Her Hand, but Saved Her Life'
 Mrs. Edward Myers of Athens, N. Y., had been treated for months in the usual way for eryspelas. without benefit. Her hand had become Il mass of purified flesh, the blood so poisoned that her life was despairea of. At this critical time Mrs. Myers soushI the advice of Dr. David Kennedy, disc1Yerer of Favorite Remedy. Dr, Kennedy found It impossible to save the hand. so he amputateo the same, then gave her Fayorlte Remedy which drove the poisonous disease out of her her system, oleansed the blood, thus saving ner life.
 Had Favorite Remedy been used earlier in the development of erysipelas, Mrs. Myers would have saved her hand. The worst eases of eczsrna, salt rhedm and serpfua yield to FaYOrte Remedy.
