Rheumatism.

Col. Vim. J. Harvey, president of
Wilkesbarre's city council, who will long

city, was once a mere physical wreck,
torn in every muscle and nerve from the
frightful pains caused by rheumatism.
He consulted the best physicians, went
abroad, took mud baths, and almost
every known treatment for the disease.
A had had very similar experience
and Dr. David Kennedys Favorite Rem
edy had Gu ID him, so he recommended
this great kidney medicine to Col. Harvey
and he is to-day well man, hale and
hearty He writes straight to the point:
DR.. DAVID KENNEDY,
Dear Sir This is to certify that l
was permanently cured of rheuma-
tism by the use of DR.. David Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy.
WIN. J. HARVEY.

uric acid poisoning which is caused pri-
marily by diseased kidneys. Cure your
kidneys and the rheumatism disappears
For all diseases of the kidneys, liver
bladder and blood, rheumatism, dyspep-
STA and chronic constipation, as well as
sicknesses peculiar to women, DR.. David

tionably the greatest medicine known to
