THE DEATH OF HIS WIFE
Preyed Upon The Mans Mind and
Caused II TO Give Way.

The strain was too great, the struggle
too hard. So one more name is added TO
the long list of those who. every year,
make up their mind that death is to be

Abelard Lebeau, 80 years Of age of Cow
entry, was one of these. His wife died
last September and left him with six
children with hungry mouths 90 feed
and little bodies TO clothe. He was only
poor, hard-working man. employed in
the cotton mills. and even IL he could
earn enough To feed and clothe them, he
had not the time to devote 20 their care
and attention that they received from
their mother. He was heart broken over
the loss of his wife ana he loved his
children dearly and it made his heart
strings throb harder than ever TO see
them so uncared for. He became despon-
dent and melancholy and ut last it was
rumored that he was insane. His mind
had given way under the terrible pres

committed TO the insane asylum, for he
would only starve with his little ones IL
left alone ana unable to earn anything.

East Greenwich and upon the report OF
the physicians who We're called To ex-
anime him, and who found that ho was
demented, the court committed him 10 the
State Hospital for the Insane at Gran

About three weeks ago bis daughter
applied To the authorities To have him re-

his brother, and in all probability his in
sanity was not of such "a character that he
could not enjoy the company Of his CHILD

than in the asylum where he might brood
continually over his separation from

His brother lives near the old ball

DO IT YOURSELF

You can tell just as we'll as a physician
whether your kidneys are diseased or healthy.
The way to do is to take a bottle OF glass tum-
bier, aud OIL IL with urine. If there is a
scdiment-a powder-like substancc-at the
bottom after standing a day and night, there
is something wrong with the kidneys. An
other sure sign of disease is a desire to uriuate
often, and still another sign is PAIN in the
back. If urine stains linen. there is no doubt
that the kidneys arc affected.
Any and all diseases of the kidneys, liver,
bladder and Of the urinary passages and con-
stipation of the bowels ave cured by DR..
David Kenuedy's Favorite Remedy. There
is no question about its being the best aud
surest medicine in the world for such troubles.
II quickly relieves and cures inability to hold
urine, and people, young or old, who take it
are not compelled to get up a number of
times during the night, For putting an end
to that scalding pain experienced in passing
urine, nothing is SO good as DR. David Ken
ued's Favorite Remedy. 1t c%orrects the bad
effects of whiskey aud beer is pleasant to
the taste, and does not seem to be medicine
at all. Diseases Of the kidneys and bladder
often require the use Of instruments to push
back the sandy matter so the urine eau be
voided. In such cases Favorite Remedy
should be taken without further delay or the
disease may prove fatal. 1t is sold for one
dollar a bottle at all drug stores. 1t Is well
worth many times its price.
