from the ranks OF the Order. It was re-
ported that the War Department could not
furnish captured Spanish cannon for this
purpose, as was at first expected and Com
mander Shepard suggested that the matter
be left with the QuartermaSter-Gener for
Immediate actor.
Commander Shepard referred to the
proposition made last year to organize

expense of the Order and TO make the college
memorial to the sires of the members. He
urged that the matter he given serious ard
immediate consideration as worthy object
for the future.

great are the powers of this New Remedy
that in the short time since its discovery it
has come into almost universal use in the

cure of every form of Asthma. The cures
wrought by it are really marvellous. Among
others the editor of the Farmers Mdgdzne

testifies that after many years suffering

DAVID KENNEDY. M. D..
Of Rondout. City Of Kingston ) n. ".
I'm SAYS:

For over twenty-five years have
constantly been engaged in the active
discharge Of my profession as physician
and surgeon. During that career have
perfected an Alternative medicine, the
Favorlte Remedy, upon the value of
which I am willing to and do stake my
personal and professional reputation"
Favorite Remedy is the greatest dis
covery DR.. Kennedy has ever made
It Is today standard medicine, with
thirty years OF cures to its credit.
Allow no one to deceive you with
their browning efforts, latest achieve
ments or brilliant fruits, counterfeits,
limitations or just as good. They are
but experiments and endanger your
health.
Most physicians-are ready enough to
give their services when family is too
poor to pay, but it occasionally hap
pens that there is proprietary medi-
cine which does all or more than
physician could do.
I'VE know of only one such medicine
namely, DIR. David Kennedy's Favor
lite Remedy for such troubles as kidney
and bladder complaints, rheumatism,
dyspepsia, liver complaint constipa-
ton and the sickness peculiar to
women.
Sufferers from these difficulties
often become so discouraged as to have
no heart to take any more medicine.
To all such DIR. Kennedy has only to
say that if he were personally called
upon to prescribe at all he would pre-
scribe Favorite Remedy.
There are other proprietary medi-
cines in the market, made by person
with the same name and initial as my
own, and / have reason to believe that
the two are often confounded in peo-
pies minds and that the other articles
spoken of have been substituted,
either through accident or design, when
the latter have been asked for or de-
sired. To avoid this please ask for DR..
David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy,
prepared in Rondout, N. Y, and accept
nothing else in its place.
There are two 5proprietors of similar
names, but they are not connected or
associated in business or otherwise.
Those who wish consultation or adj
vice as to their own special case can
have the same entirely free of charge.
Simply direct, DIR. David Kennedy,
Rondout, City of Kingston, N. y
where all communications will be treat
ed with strictest professional conf
dence.
ITO avoid mistakes DIR. Kennedy
would beg you TO remember that the
name of his medicine is Favorite Rem
edy, that it is manufactured at Rond-
out, N. Y. and especially not to forget
the DOCTORS name, David Kennedy, NJ .
D., and address, Rondout, N. Y; he has
no other address"
