Both myself and another mem- Der of my family have used them with excellent results for kidney disorders.

Editor Huag COnfesses

s'For many years, as Editor and Proprie- Cor of the Pine Plains, N. T., Herald, I have advertised Dr. David Kennedy's Fa- vorite Remedy. While enjoyed not only the business relationship but the personal friendship of Dr. Kennedy, have never, until now, paid him long standing obli- eation. For many years, as my friends so well know, suffered excrutiating pains from rheumatism. Many were the nights when it was impossible to sleep. Without much faith, admit, I tried as a sort of last resort, bottle of Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, just as thousands of others had done before, and like them I found perma- nenk relief. Favorite Remedy has stood the test of time and believe it is the best medicine in existence for effectually expel- ling the cause of rheumatism-urica acid. My regret is that have neglected to make this frank confession long ago. It makes my Kidneys do their work properly, tones up the liver and makes one feel that life is worth living. Ipublicly and earnestly ad- wise all my friends who are suffering from troubles that arise from unhealthy Kidneys and Liver, to get bottle of Favorite Rem edy at once. There is no use in putting 1t of as did. s. T. HOAG, Editor.

try road. The other old gentleman
told him he had made mistake:
that when the trees began to bear
he would have no end of trouble
with people clubbing his trees to
get the fruit; so the second old gen.
tleman planted his nuts along
the. back, of his farm for a wind
break. The woods were at the
time full of nutbearing trees and
any one could have a wagon load
for picking them up. So people
laughed at these sprovident old
gentlemen, and said that they had
their pains for their trouble; that
neither of them would live to eat
the fruits of their trees, and that
there would never be a sale for
Walnuts or hickorynuts the woods
were full of them.
Now that was a long timeago and
there was not near so many people
in Missouri as there are today. But
both of these old gentleman lived
to see their trees fruiting abundant
ly, and a young city grew up at
their doors; the country road be-
came great thoroughfare, and the
trees f1ourished wonderfully. There
were nuts and to spare, for long
time, and the farmers sold quite a
lot of them and when they passed
away, their children grown to be
men. and women, and their chill
dren's children feasted Oh the
abundance of the fruits. Now don't
you think it ipaid these old gentle
men to plant the nuts? Don't you
think that it would pay you to do
little planting on your own ac-
count? Not now for this is not the
planting season for nuts; but this
fall, when the.nuts are falling select
the bestssnutS of the best bearing
trees and plant them where you
want them to grow, before the nut
