It Is Ignorance rather than anything elese that makes life miserable, but Ignorance of the value of Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy does not exist In Schagtlcoke today, ns a blood medicine and nerve tonic It stands supreme. One of the principal reasons for Its popularity comes from the great benefit our fel low townsman, Andrew Slpperley de rived from Its use. Mr. Slpperley has suffered for years past, with a chronic kidney trouble, frequent bilious at tacks, and, at intervals with violent neuralgia In the head and face. Up to last fall he rarely knew a well day. At that time his wife who had learned of the good Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy had accomplished, determined to have htm use it. In writing about his sickness, Mr. Slpperley said: "For several years I was subject to attacks of kidney trouble and gravel, which was attended with most excru ciating pain, but since I began the use of Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Rem edy I have had no serious trouble, and my general health is greatly Improved. I know of a great many people about here who have used Favorite Remedy, and in every Instance benefit has fol lowed. One of the officers of the Al bany. N. Y., Hospital recently said, In speaking of Favorite Remedy: "I know of Its great medical value, and to my knowledge It cures the disease for which It Is prepared." The great value of Dr. David Ken nedy's Favorite Remedy lies In the fact that It dissolves the excess of uric acid In the blood. Such ailments as rheu matism, neuralgia, nervousness, dys pepsia, kidney, liver, and urinary trou bles, and the sickness peculiar to wo men all come from this one cause. Favorite Remedy dissolves this acid and expels It from the system, thus cur ing the disease. In cases of scrofula, diabetes and Brlght's disease, It 'has cured where other treatments have failed.

Many Who Seem to Be Acting a Foolish Part. Are Not Satisfied by Going About Quietly. They Hurry and Worry, They Don't Get Sleep. Puinu's Celery Compound Their Best Relief. In prescribing Palne's celery com pound for a patient the other day a Scranton physician, who Is a specialist in nervous difficulties, declared that there were thousands of such women who were literally killing themselves by too rapid movements. "They are not satisfied," said he, "with going about doing things in a quiet ordinary way but rush through with their work and ruin their health as faBt as they can. So firmly fixed is their habit that they run up and down stairs when there is no need for hurry. "They not only rush but worry, and between these two. subject their nerv ous systems to more wear and tear than anything short of wrought steel could endure." Whatever the cause, our women, our young girls and even business men are rapidly growing more and more nerv ous. Professor Phelps, the great Dart mouth scientist, saw this alarming state of things and concentrated all hla energy to remedy It. It was from the formula of this eminent student and thinker that Palne's celery compound was prepared. Its success in restoring nerve-strength and building up the worn-out body re paid the years of study and Investiga tion that Professor Phelps conscien tiously devoted to the diseases of the stomach and the kidneys, the result of Impure blood and impoverished nerves. The careful results that have come from Its careful use have been the sub ject of discussion In all the prominent newspapers and magazines in this country, Canada and throughout Great Britain. The record of this great blood cleans er, from the time of in discov ery up to the present day, has been a marvellous one. It has cured literally thousands of cases of nervous debility, rheumatism. kidney and heart troubles, and has made sound sleep possible to countless men and women whose irritable and Impoverished nerveu were slowly drain ing them of vitality.
