Him Promptly
Constipation leads to worse. Often It
is the, cause of appendicitis Always it
leads to dangerous chronic disease. 1t

be temporarily alleviated with drastic
purgatives Here is a case in point;
Mr.. c. S. OsterhoUt, of Barrytown,
N. Y, was distressed with indigestion
chronic constipation and kidney trouble
for four years. He tried many medicines
without relief He heard of Cal-cura
Solvent, llr. Kennedys new medicine,
used it and began to improve rapidly.
All of his old complaints have disappear
ed and he owes everything to Calcura
Solvent.
Write to the Cal-cura Company, Ken
nedy Row, Rondout, n. Y, for a free

Remember; Only one DR. David Ken
nedy ever lived in Rondout City of
