CONSTIPATION CURED.
A Barrytown, NJ Mans Expert
ence with Cal-cura Solvent.
Dr.. David Ksnnedy's New Medicine Cured
Him Promptly.

Constipation leads to worse. Often it is
the cause of appendicitis. Always it leads
to dangerous chronic disease. 1t should
not be neglected, nor should it be temper
arily relieved with drastic purgatives. Here
is case in point;
Mr.. G. s. Osterhoudt, 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, DIR. Kennedy's ne'O medicine
used it and began to improve rapidly.
All of his old complaints have disappeared
and he owes everything to Cal-eura Sol
vent.

is very much excited over the actions of
Mrs. Sarah Dorset, a pauper who has been
thrust upon the town from they hardly
know where. She appeared at the poor
farm recently and said that she was go
ing to throw herself into the river. When
Poormaster Chillson invited her to go
into the house she dropped by the side
walk and refused to bulge. By using force
he and an assistant managed to get her
in after she had slapped their faces. One
night last week she set her bed on fire and
on another occasion she broke open her
window and jumped to the ground below,
but was not injured. She is now being
watched at all times and viii probably be
examined as to her sanity.
