Mudo UfeVcry Miserable for Mrs. Kate
J. lloyco Fuller.
Testimony In the divorce proceedings
of Mrs. Kute J. Boyce Fuller against
S. Gordon Fuller was heard before
Judge Edwards In chambei-B yesterday.
Attorney C. K. Pitcher appeared for
Mrs. Fuller. She now resides In thlB
city, but at the time of her marriage
March 15, 18!2, she lived at Lisle,
Broome county, N. 'Y. The ceremony
was performed by her brother, J. H.
Boyce, who is a clergyman.
Mr. Fuller was a widower with two
children when she married him, and the
eldest of these, a boy of 10, proceeded
to make life as miserable for his step
mother ns he could.
Mrs. Fuller says that prior to her
marriage her husband led her to be
lieve that he was a pious, religious
man, but no sooner was the ceremony
performed than he proceeded to un
deceive her.
Mr. Fuller Swore.
On the way home from the church
where their troth was -plighted, he
swore much to. the horror of his shrink
ing bride.
That was only n foretaste of what
the future had In store for her.
Mrs. Fuller declares that lier husband
swore, proved himself an adept in the
use of profunlty and was coarse and
vulgar as well as profane. Then he
began to abuse her and frequently
threw her out of the house. At other
times he locked her in rooms and re
fused to let her out.
To add to her misery her step-son
began to exceed Jier husband In brutal
ity. While they resided at Owego, N,
Y young FulleiJ ("threw his mother
down one day, Jumped on her and
men tied ner with ropes. She ex
pected momentarily to be killed.
Sent to the Reformatory.
For this offense her step-son was con
vlcted In the Owego courts and sent to
the Klniim reformatory.
Frank A. Darrow, of Owego, and Cora
A. Cotllne, of Apalapen, Tioga county,
N. Y., corroborated the story of Mrs.
Fuller.

NOT AS GOOD AS HIS BIBLE.
That Was the licbuka of a Hindoo to a
Christian.
Rev. James McLeod conducted yeB-
torday's united prayer meeting at the

subject of the day was "Home Mis
sions." Rev. Charles E. Robinson In
an excellent address remarked that the
remark of the Hindoo to a Christian
man, "that he was not as good as his
Bible," was a scathing ciitlolsm. If
Christians were 9 good as the Book
they would soon revolutionize the
hpathen countries.
Judge Hand, In referring to the sub
ject of the day, claimed 'that religious
work was far In advance in the present
generation compared with years ago,

in the past days was .not accomplished
at all. Prayer was offered by several
clergymen and laymen.

VALUED ENDORSEMENT.
Schaghtlcoke, N. Y. 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.

Unworthy Habits of Haste
Among Them.
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.
