DIR. KENNEDY'S FAv0RITE
 E REMEDY
Breaks no Hearts, Excuses
 TO Crimes.


 Dr. David Kennedy's FATORITE REM- EDY is not disguised enemy of the human race; where it cannot help, it does not harm. It is composed of vegetable ingre- dients and does not heat or infame the blood but cools and purifes it. In all cases of Kidney troubles, Liver complaints, Con- stipation of the Bowels, and the delicate Arrangements which affiiet women, the ac- tion of Dr. Kennedy's FAVORITE REM- EDY is beyond praise. Thousands of grateful people voluntarily testify to this, in letters to Dr. Kennedy; and with a warmth and fullness of words which mere business certificates never possess. It makes no drunkards-excuses no crimes
 breaks no hearts. We challenge trial and are confident of the result. ONE DOLLAR 8 Bottle. All druggists. Bear in mind the name and address: Dr. DacM KENNEDY, Rondout, New York. Write for free sam- pie bottle and medical booklet full of valu- able medical advice. Mention this paper.

MAPS HELP A MAN SLEEP.
Mental Geography the Best Soporific
According to a Drug Clerk.

"A haggard-looking man strolled
into drug store the other day
and asked the druggist for help
He said he had trouble in get
ting to sleep when he retired. No
matter how sleepy he might be during
the day or how much sleep he might
have lost, the moment his head touch
ed the pillow he was wide awake and
lay thus for several hours. Once
asleep, he was hard to waken, but
he had to be up at a certain hour,
and I'm consequence of his peculiar nf-
Fiction he was losing more sleep than
he could stand. The drug clerk re-
garded him quizzically few moments
and then replied: my dear man
you don't need medicine. What you
want Is something to change the
trend of your thoughts. Do as friend
OF mine did. He was troubled the
same way and found that the old folks
plan of imagining sheep passing bar
r1er and counting them was out OF
date. So he began trying to name all
the states in the union. He soon got
than so he could classify them alpha
oetically. Then when they no longer
interested him he started on the
counties of this state. He now has
them at his tongues end, classified up
to the fourth letter. Now he is start
ing on. state capitals and their loca-
tons; then he will take up county
seats. A moments glance at an atlas
during the day shows him when he is
wrong, and the beauty Of the plan is
that he rarely has to think along
these lines longer than ten minutes
before he is sound asleep. To make
It short, the study of geography is a
good narcotic"
