the diseases mentioned above who will send'
their full name and postofiice address to the
DIR DAVID KENNEDY CORPORATION
Rondout, N. Y, providing they mention the
TIMES when they write.
A very simple test to determine whether
your Kidneys or Bladder are diseased is to
put some of your urine in glass tumbler and
let it stand "a hours, if it has sediment or
cloudy, ropy or stringy appearance. if it is
pale or discolored, you do not need physi-
clan to tell you that you are in dangerous
condition. DIR. David Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy speedily cures such serious symp-
toms as pain in the back, inability to hold
urine. burning .calding pain in passing it,
frequent desire to urinate, especially at night,
the staining of linen by your urine and all
unpleasant and dangerous effects on the sys-
tenn produced by the use of whiskey and
beer.
By searching investigation it was found
that over 81 per cent of the people who sent
for a sample bottle we're so much benefited
by its use that they purchased large sized
bottle of their druggist, which in most cases
cured them, while in some rare instances it
took as many as two or even three bottles to
effect permanent cure.
DR.. David Kenuedy's Favorite Remedy is
sold by all druggists at 81 per large bottle,
or six bottles for $5.

cented one half these bonds as eecuritv for its
S5l 900 note and the other 300 600 of bonds

DIR. Lord. tine Noted SpeclalIst.

DR.. Lord has been located at Walpole
for the past nine months, and in this time
has performed some wonderful an / remark
able cures. DIR. Lord does not come to us
perfect stranger, as we have read many
OF his remarkable cures in the New Hamp-
shire papers. While the doctor does not
claim he can cure everybody, he does claim
that all the cures published are bona fide
cures and he uses no patients name unless
the patient is perfectly willing. The doc
tor has practiced medicine upwards of 20
years and cures where the so called doctor
fails. His specialties are long standing
and lingering diseases, such as Dyspepsia,
Catarrh, Liver and Kidney Trouble, Asth-
ma, Rheumatism, Ulcers and Old Sores,
Bronchitis, Ovarian Difficulties, Female
Weakness, Irregular Merses, Leucorrhea,
Seminal Weakness, Impotency, Syphilitic
diseases and in fact any and all forms of
chronic diseases.
He uses no mineral or poisonous drugs,
purely Vegetable Remedies gathered from
natures garden. The doctor is a regular
graduate physician and stands high in his
profession. He tells diseases at sight--no
long list of questions asked, and if durable
he will cure you; unlike some of his medi-
cal brethren, he does not want your money
unless he can benefit or cure you.
He deals uprightly and honorably with
all; in him the unfortunate sufferer finds
a sympathizing friend. While there is life
there is hope; let no one despair until
given up by DR.. Lord. The doctor will
call at your place OF residence if desired,
free of charge. His consultations are
always free OF charge. 1t in need of a
physician consult the great specialist, who
has made life study of chronic diseases.
Office hours, from 9 to 10 A. M. and
from 2 to 8 p NJ.
Remember that DR.. Lord is permanently
located in Walpole.
