This feat OF tile actual .ailroadirg Of

A TRINITY OF EVILS.
Cured by Cal cura Solvent, the Great New
Medicine, After Other Treatment Had Failed.
DR.. David kennedy's Latest Medicine.

Mr.. Martin Montgomery, of Silvara, Pa,
formerly of Roxbury, N. Y, writing to DR..
David Kennedy, of Kennedy Row, said:
your 7ae1o medicine, Cal-cura Solvent,
IS wonderful. 1t cured me of liver and kid
Hey troubles, and rheumatism, after lot of
weary dosing with things that did no good.
1t IS Il record breaker and no mistake"
As in Mr.. Montgomery's case, rheuma-
tisIn is often, indeed almost always, COM
phcated with kidney and liver trouble.
1t is because Cal-cura Solvent acts on the
kidneys and liver and at the same time ex-
pels uric acid from the blood, that it is such
reliable remedy for rheumatism and the
attendant disorders. 1t cures by removing
the cause. therefore the cure is permanent,
safe and sure.

The haggard face OF the sleepless
woman told its own story. She Ian
guidly asScnted to her friends request,
with little or no faith in its efficacy,
yet willing. like the proverbial drown
ing man, to catch at a straw that
promised any relief.
A cracker was forthwith produced
and quite generously buttered A lib-
eral sprinklng of cayenne pepper was
then added. the two halves put togeth-
er and the patient requested to par
take of the spicy concoction.
Strange rs il may seem, but little
inconvenience WAS experienced. The
slight smartng sensation In the mouth
was soon over. and no unpleasantness
was felt in the stomach. The cracker
was eaten just before retiring, and
very soon after the patient was sleep
ing peacefully.
The pepper acted as stimulant to
the stomach, drawing the blood from
the excited brain and inducing a night
of more refreshing sleep than had been
experienced for a long time. The rem
edy was repca cd the next night, with
the same result. \ cayenne pepper
sandwich is much less harmful than
