VALUED ENDORSEMENT.

SCHAGHTICoKE, N. UT is ignorance
rather than anything else that makes
life miserable, but ignorance of the value
of DR.. David Kennedy's FavoTite Remedy
does not exist in Schaghticoke to-day, as
blood medicine and nerve tonic it
stands supreme. One of the principal
reasons for its popularity comes from
the great benefit our fellow townsman,
Andrew Sipperley derived from its use.
Mr.. Sipperley has suffered for years past,
with chronic kidney trouble, frequent
bilious attacks, and at intervals with
violent neuralgia in the head and face.
Up to last fall he rarely knew well day.
At that time his wife who had learned of
the good DR.. Kennedy's Favorite Rene
dy had accomplished, determined to
have him use it. In writing about his
sickness, Mr.. Sipperley raid:
For several years l was subject to at
tacks of kidney trouble andgravel, which
was attended with most excruciating
pain, but since l began the use of DR..

tai recently said, in speaking of Favorite
Remedy: 4 know of its great medical
value, and to my knowledge it cures the
disease for which it is prepared"
The great value of DR.. David Kennedy s
Favorite Remedy lies in the fact that il
dissolves the excess of uric acid in the
blood. Such ailments as rheumatism
neuralgia, nervousness, and the sickness
peculiar to women all come from this
one cause. Favorite Remedy dissolves
this acid, thus curing the disease. In
cases of scrofula, diabetes and Bright's
disease, it has cured where other treat
ments have failed.

CURIOSITIES OF DREAMS.
Scientific Views of the Queer Things We
Do and See While Asleep.


The causes and classification Of dreams
is a subject that, although it has been dis
cussed from time immemorial, seems to
be as little understood, beyond certain
point, as it was ages ago AtIthe hypnotic
congress held in Paris recently much
time was spent in considering this ques-
ton, and though some interesting theories
were brought forth the savants We're but
little wiser when the discussion ended than
when it began.
A compatriot of Ibsen, DR.. Mourley
Void, professor in the University of Chris
tiania, gave the result of numerous expert
ments made upon himself and Others who
had lent themselves to the cause of science
in trying to ascertain the dividing line be-
tween the role played in dreams by the
cutaneous and muscular senses and be-
tween the true images of the day and the
phantoms of the night.
You rarely dream, this savant says, that
you are lying down, but generally that you
are standing or sitting in way CORE
spending to the position of the member
which makes its impression upon the
mind. For example, if one dreams that
he is standing on ti.toe, it will be found
uAittu iio uoOs ttIC piSnolli- e''o
footboard of the bed. Drums of walking,
running, dancing and the like are always
produced by the position of the feet
Another of this doctors theories is that
when we dream our minds, to certain
extent, become as they were when we were
children. In support of this he says that
when dreamer, with half awakened
sense sees his hand before him he instinc-
lively begins to count the fingers. This is
because the dormant senses reduce the
sleeper's mind to a childish state of feeble
ness, and it is in infancy that our first les
sons in computation begin upon our fin
gers.
The visual impressions of the day form
another class of dreams. DR.. Mourley
Void is of the opinion that happy days are
followed by pleasant dreams, and vice
versa. Every one knows, however, that
this is not always the case.
At the conclusion of the learned Norwe-
gian' address one of the oldest of his lis
teners-one Of the most celebrated ply
sicians in Paris-remarked to colleague
that if one has had bad dreams it is be-
cause of indigestion, or too much clothes
| on the bed, or too little air in the room,
| or because his wife shores, or because he
is lying in an uncomfortable position, and
that with proper precautions there should
be only pleasant dreams or none at all

bath Timcs.)

Now that Senator Quay is out for Reed
the chances of that logical candidate for
the Republicans being the next President
would seem to be of the brightest. What
ever political opponents may think of
Quay's political merits and the get
there methods which have characterized
his work, the undisputed fact that he is
one of the most astute politicians in the
country remains.
No man has more reliable knowledge
of the public sentiment than Quay; no
man realizes more clearly the elements of
character which the successful candidate
In 90 must have; and no one sees more
clearly that T. B. Reed of Maine is the
man of the hour and the candidate who
can fully come up to the requirements of
the day.
The strong personality of Reed, his
capacity for affairs and the clean record
which attaches to his NAME all make him
the logical candidate of the Republican
party in the coming election, as far
sighted men like Quay already see and as
the whole rank and file must perceive be-
fore the next national convention.
