viously used DR.. Kennedy's Fsvorite REM
edy and she and her family knew of its
value. The doctors finally decided to allow
her to use it and they found that the results
were more satisfactory than from any other
treatment they had tried. AS they were
broad minded and honest men, they advised
her to continue its use, in connection with
their own general treatment. Aided, there
fore, by Favorite Remedy, the good lady
steadily improved and she is now in most
excellent health.
We will give the names of all parties
upon request. We cite this case as further
proof that DR.. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
is highly valuable preparation, as safe as
it is efficient, for the most delicate person.

success in the treatment of Liver, Kidney

a case happened in Kingston, N. Y, where
one of the best known women in that his

the age of 6S years. e 1t was an alarming
case. She was attended by three of the

She slowly recovered from the pneumonia,
only to be attacked by severe nervousness,
accompanied by distressing and compli-
Gated heart trouble. She could not sleep
