Our Dead Heroes. ’
The honors of floral decoration of the
graves of. our dead heroes of the last war.
were observed on Friday last. The nay was
generally observed as‘a holiday,and hundreds
of men, women and children lined the
streets and congregated at our cemeteries in
anticipation of more ceremony than seems to
have been-contemplated by 111038 undertaking
to execute the popular desire for this sweet
sacrament. This was especially the case at
Union Cemetery, where large numbers con—
gregated and remained till late in the after-
noon in expectation of the procession amv-
ing there. Had due public information been
given after the plans were matured, many
would have been saved long hours of useless
waiting and final disappointment. But the
soldiers graves were all duly honored, and
the unity of these states, the supremacy of
our laws and the grandeur of this our glori-
ods Republic seemed dearer and more-sacred
because of the sacrifices of these hereic sons
who gave up their lives that the nation might
live.
The gratitude of a loyal people was ten-
derly turned to these fallen heroes, .
entombed beneath the green sod of their
mother State, or filling nameless and un-
known graves in the sunnier land where
treason and rebellion first conspired and
sprang at the nation's throat. These noble
dead bravely earned our honors and. our
praise, whether in the hot and terrific. strife
of battle, on the weary march or languishing
in hospital or starved in prisan pen or shot
like dogs on the dead line at Andersonvdle or
Salisbury, or yet went down in the engulfing
waters—wherever or however they died their
blood has cemented a firmer and re-consecra-
ted Usrox, and majestically enthroned L13-
ERTY to all the people, for all the ages that
God shall let the nation endure. As they
fought and gave their lives for the blessings
of good government which we enjoy, let us
revere their memories and draw such inspira-
tion from their devotion and sacrifice as shall
lead us to more unselfishly guard the Liberty
their sufferings have bequeathed us, and year
by year as Decoration Day recurs, let us
immeasurably given—-
“Our praise to all who nobly fought—-
Our tears to those who fell. ’
The procession, which was not a large one,
formed at South Norwalk, and marched to
the stand on West avenue, Elmenworth,
thence up-town, down East avenue, over the
Washington street bridge, and up West nve-
nue tothe stand again, where the summer
were held. The martial band led off, follow-
ed by the Burnside Guards, thirty men; the
G. A. R. Society and Veteran Soldiers, tweu~
ty-six men; carriages with orator, &.e., and
two lines of carriages containing private citi-
zens. At the stand the services commenced
promptly, Mr. Chas. F. Hallock, presiding.
Rev. Mr. Saunders of the First M. E. church
offered prayer. A double quartette of male
voices rendered acceptable music, accompa
nied on the organ by Mr. S. Hatch. The
oration was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Ham-
ilton of the First Congregational church.
The reverend gentleman spoke without con
fining himself to notes, and held the atten—
tion of a large audience nearly an hour, al-
though all uot in carriages were obliged to
stand, there being no seats. Rev. Mr. Saun-
ders pronounced the benediction, when the
committees departed to decorate the lgraves.
the soldiers marched away and the crowd
quietly departed. .
On Sunday afternoon, decoration serVices
were held at the cemetery at Five Mile River
as usual.

courtesies and pleasures of the trip. The
celebration was a grand affair, and in the
sham fight, which had been arranged, Prin-
eess Louise appeared mounted, riding around
the grounds fearlessly. At the evening bau-
quet,Chaplain Henry Ward Beecher and Col.
Austin made speeches.
noon following the celebration, Col. Austin,
with his wife, two daughters and Mr. Austin
were invited to visit, informally, Princess
Louise and the Marquis of Lorne. The visit
was exceedingly pleasant, and the Americans
returned to their hotel favorably impressed
with the social qualities of the Princess and
her consort.
Pres. Hayes is fairly getting his hand in,
asthe saying is. His vetoes improve, and
good as the first two were, number three is
still better. Perhaps he begins to feel that
with the Republican party at his back in
:full harmony he is master of the situation.
Congress can’t run away with him.

Erratum—In the speech of Dr. Pardee be-
fore the State Medical Society, printed on
fourth page, the sentence reading "One word
of persecutor Burke. who has been a faithful,
persistent and energetic tool," should read,
“One word of prosecutor Burke, who has
been a faithful, persistent and energetic
prosecutor.”
Although doctors like lawyers, will die-
agree, there was one creditable evidence of a
. growing spirit of liberality evinced at the
last week’s State Medical Convention held at
Hartford. We allude to the incident with
special satisfaction because of the fact that‘
the resolution emenated as we learn, from
Dr. Barbour of this place. It was to the
effect that the present restrictive byalaw of
the A10pathic association be so amended as
to permit consultations by its members with
any liceutiate of a chartered Medical College
or association, which as such, is recognized
bytbe State. While all the tendencies of
the times are for the greatest liberalty,no
onevwill find fault that regularly. educated
physicians refuse all professional associations

The great American Democratic Circus is
still kicking the tan-bark and sweltering at
Washington. The cooler heads desire to pass
the appropriation bills,'pure and simple, and
adjourn by the 10th inst. The hot—heads, on
the other hand are resolved to perish in the
last ditch audcarry their party down with
them rather than yield One jot or title to the
fraudulent President. Meantime President
Hayes sends in another vote, as courageous,
courteous and unauswerable as the others and
the democracy of the nation stand aghast at
the utter rent and demoralization which
threaten their party organization throughout
the Union, “Whom the gods would destroy,
they first make mad," and our democratic
Congressmen seem asinsane as an exaspera—
ted bovine iu fly time.

Driven Wells.
Our New Haven neighbors are quite ex-
citedly stirred up, as have been several of the
Western States and especially Minnesota,
1 over the apparent rascalities of what is known
as the Patent’ Driven Well Combination.
The mode of procedure is for some reputed
owner of astate, or county or town right to
come along with his gas pipes and drive them
into the earth, attach a pump, get his pay
and proceed to the next customers.- Subse—
quently comes along the next party in inter-
est who calls upon the innocent user of the
well to pay a royalty of ten dollars or stand
a threatened law suit on an action for in-
fringement of the last claimant’s patent. As
most quiet people prefer malarial fever or
measles to a law suit, they pay the small as—
sessment thus wrung 01$ of them and then
the party goes for the next victim. Enor—
mous sums in the aggregate have thus been
collected at the west, where it is very gener-
ally believed the two “dealers” work together
in each other’s interest, and as fast as a well
is put down thenamo of the customer is furb
nished for the second man’s stripping. The
sandy soil in and about New Haven, has
opened an inviting field for the driven well
and the old role of the sword fish and thrash-
er, .has been attempted, to be inaugurated
there. But we are glad to see that the New
Haveners have united, and are resolved to
test the legality of this patent game which
has been so long played elsewhere. A suit,
is claimed to have been won in the U. S.
Court,confirming the patent under which these
' pipe wells are put down, but those familiar
with “collusive" patent suits, will not be dis-
couraged in their resistance to what is believ-
ed to be one of the baldest of swindles.
may encourage our friends to be informed
lbat we ourselves, saw this identical descrip-
:ion of well, driven down at or near the pre-
sent site of the New York &. Erie depot in
Middletown, N. Y., more than forty years
ago. On mentioning the fact to Senator Ker-
nan. the present Chairman of the Senate
Committee on Patents, he informed us that
he saw them publicly driven in the streets of
Uticafifly years ago. On the recollection of
:he driven well, which attracted our special
attention from its novelty, in our early boy-
hood, we coustructed and had put down a
similar well here in Norwalk full sixteen
years ago and with the evidence thus attainable
this present drive well patent, which we are
told only claims about ten years of life, can
easily be proven not worth the red wax with
which the Patent Office has decorated their
parchment. We only fear the assaulting par-
ties will beat a silent retreat before the
aroused New Haveners have a chance to
prove the utter worthlessness of their claims.
Last Tuesday the Engine of one of the
New Haven passenger trains run off the track
near the South Norwalk depot in consequence
of the switch having been left open. The
engineer and other operatives at the road at
once set to work to “jac " the engine back
on the track. After along delay and little
success, Supt. ,Sandiforth of the Danbury
road, saw the perplexity of the men when he
very quietly walked down and proffered the
advantages of his ripe experience in such mat-
ters, and in less time than it takes to relate,
he had the engine back on the track and the
train again oh its way. So much for the su-
perior practical skill,culti'vatcd by long years
of experience, of our Danbury R. R. Supt.,
whom mest people had “PM B‘Wficc-
”
Fronar. Tumours—The tender sympathies
and sentiment of resident friends, and the
artistic taste of our local florists were prob-
ably never so fully and touchingly exempli-
fied as in the floral tributes to the memory of
little Faunnm Momsorv. His grave, which is
covered with these, has been visited by great
numbers, and all are impressed with their
beauty and good taste. Thewreaths, pillows,
crosses, name and mottoes are only exceeded
'by the tender pathos of the little vacant
chair cushioned with flowers, and the little
lamb mute in floral .meekness. Thesewere
wrought out, we learn, by bur Norwalk flor—
ists.

First Selectman Selleck knows all the
points that constitute a good horse, and when
he draws the rein behind an animal that fills
the bill, is not only the personification of
happiness, but with his flowing beard, whose
silver threads so luxuriatingly entwiue the
brown, he is almost an exact counterpart of
that Prince among turfmen, the late Hiram
Woodruff. » The similarity of likeness is in-
deed vcry remnrkable, but this is not what
we set out to narrate. On the occasion of
Bishop Williams’ visit here to get his portrait
completed at Whitney’s, he dropped into
Selleck's bookstore, deposited his satchel, as
his stay was to he very brief. On calling for
it and awaiting the horse cars, he fell into
friendly converse with our merry Andrew.
Selleck was sure he had seen him somewhere
half imagined he had met him as judge at
some Agricultural Fair, and finallyconcluded
from his dress and marked dignity of pres-
ence that he was a minister, but yet could
not place him. Selleck always was a frank
man, so he iquirtid if he were not, a clergy-
man, so he inquired if he were not a clergy-
pressed the inquiry as to when he preached ?
The Bishop's turn had now come and he
naively replied that he “preached all around."
No light, but a deeper darkness enshrouded
the inquiring brain of friend Selleck, and
with one last Paul Pry strategem he struck
right square for the point he wished to reach.
“May I ask what your name is i" questioned
Andrew in all seriousness. “Well, they call
me Bishop Williams,” kindly responded the
worthy magnate of the church. Had news
at that instant come that his pet St. Bernard
had died in a fit, or his favorite chanticleer
had been worsted in a pitched battle through
the fence, poor Andrew’s consternation
could not have been greater. “Why, yes,"
he knew he-.he had seen him before some-
where. It was along time ago, it wu true,
but then he never forgot a face, and he was
sure of it," &c., doc, and with no end of
apologies and explanations. Selleck says he
was never so taken aback in his life. His
friends have this consolation. This little
incident of forgetfuliiess does not argue any
iinpaiiinent'_of hls‘memory. You can’t catch
Selleck thus on the identity of any trotter of
note,and he could single out and call by name
a fulljhalf mile of poultry cages ata chicken
exhibition, but when it comes to his Bishop
he frankly owua up that he isn't as. well post-
ed as he ought to be.

This popular drama is to be produced
again at the Opera House, next Friday even-
ing, under the personal management of the
author. The company, we are informed, is
thosame that gave such excellent satisfaction
here before. This play has been well rc-
ceivcd throughout the State since its first
presentation here. The play itself is One of
the most entertaining that has been pro-
duced here iua long time, and the cast is
remarkably strong. Miss Dollie Bldwell
acts the leading part, and is unusually well
supported. Those who enjoy a good play

The spacious and elegant homeof Mr. and
Mrs. A. J.Crofut, West Avenuc,was brilliant-
ly illuminated and beautifully decorated, on
Friday evening, May 80, to entertain the
large company of their friends who flocked
from all quarters to commemorate and con-
gratulate them on the twenty-filth anniver-
sary of their marriage. Doctors Gregory
and Coolidge, as ushers, gracefully introduc-
ed the guests to Mr. and Mrs. Crofut, their
son and daughter, and Miss Littell of Brook-
lyn. Rev. Mr. Taylor, their pastor, gave a
cordial welcome to all in a neat little speech,
introducing Rev. Mr. Clapp, who officiated
at their marriage and subsequently at their
baptism, who indulged in a few pleasing
remarks and reminiscences, and was followed
by Rev. John Davies, their former pastor,
who read an original and felicitouo poem in
' honor of the occasion and the hosts. After
some three hours delightfully spent in cor-
dial intercourae and in listening tochoico
music by a select trio,-whlch inspired the
younger portion of the assembly, (most of
whom were in full and rich costume) to
the. exhilerations of the dancc.—a lively

appetite governed by prudence, conversa-
tion and dancing were resumed and maintain-
ed until the small houra. The spacious
piazzas were inclooed by awnings, behind
which the guests were protected and refresh-
ed, while the fine night tempted many to
promenade on the well-kept lawn. The
absence of all intoxicating drinks was most
commendable. The presents were many and
choice.

0f the liquor cases, a correspondent says:
“Out of five cases brought before the
court, two were convicted, one failed because
the witnesses did not testify tothe same facts
as in the court below, or failed to convince
the jury of the guilt of the accused; and
one was nolled because the Justice pronoun-
ced sentence under the general complaint
without specifying the count in the complaint,
which alawyer of large experience and for
several years acting justice, tells me was not
an essential condition for trial,as he had
often neglected to specify the count, and the
State’s Attorney in his discussion would nolle
the chargein one count and try the other,
unless indeed he preferred to get aside of try.
ing the case on its merits. In one other case
the fine was made fifty, as is the case in other
sections of the liquor law, instead of forty
dollars, which was an oversight at the time
and passed unnoticed by either side, until it
was called up last week, and that oversight
was argued as a reason to evade trial. The
cases in which Sherifi Oliver Cotter and J.
Moore were the witnesses, some ten in num-
ber, were nollcd because these gentlemen
could not attend last week. These suits had
gone over the last term as the court was fully
pleased to have heard Mr. Cotter with his
large experience and knowledge of the li-
quor trafilc, describe to such a crowd as
was assembled in Bridgeport the shallow-
ing of the resorts of bad men to evade the

RUNAWAY.
nmvnn vacuum FATALLY mm. ,
As Walter Snifiln, the driver of Shermon’o
steamboat omnibus, was returning (this
Monday morning) to the can for another load
of passengers, on turning his vehicle too short
around the fore-wheel caught under the body
of the omnibus and overturned. 0n the box
was a hack driver named George Seymour,
who jumped and thus saved himself from
harm. He shouted to his companion to also
jump, but he held fast to the reins and went
over with the omnibus. The pole was broken
off and ' the team ran down Washington
street to near,Raymoud Brothers‘ store where
they collided with the family carriage of Mr.
Henry I. Hoyt, pretty effectually demolishing
it. The ladies in Mr. Hoyt’s carriage, by the
exercise of remarkable presence of mind,
saved themselves from any very serious in-
jury. The runaway team was here secured
and found to bo unhurt, but the driver, who
had held on to them and been dragged to near
the Sentinel Office, was found lying in the
road and to be inseuslble. He is behaved to
be fatally injured, though still living at this
writing. He was a sober and careful driver,
it is said, and the accident is attributed to
the nervousness of the team in springing
around too quickly when attempting to turn
the omnibus. It was a fortunate circum-
stance that the vehicle waa empty at the time
of the accident. It was somewhat demolish-
ed, but will bdsoon put in repair and on the
route again for further service. ‘

Obituary.
SHERMAN Conn was born in Wilton J uue 4,
1804. His father, Thomas Cole, was a soldier
of the Revolution, and was with the Ameri.
can army while they were occnppiug New
isli army were stationed at White Plains.
He was taken lick while in the discharge of
his duty and released from active service.
His mother,al|o inspired with a,spirlt of pat-
riotism rode to headquarters from her home
in Wilton, on horseback. passing through
both the British and American lines, and
brought him safely to his home. Receiving
an honorable discharge his widow drew a pen-
sion for his services until her death,whlch oc-
curred about thirty—two years ago at the‘ad-
vanced age of eighty-five. Spriuging from
such stock it is not surprising that at the
outbreak of the late war Sherman Cole should
stand as a firm defender of the principles for
which his father fought, and unquallfyiugly
sustain the doctrines of universal freedom
and the union of the States.
The deceased was the youngest of a family
of seven children, six boys and one girl, who
have all passed away, and with one exception
lived beyond their allotted time of three
score years and ten. Mr. Cole was the father
of twelve children, eleven of whom are still
living, and with one exception (a daughter
living in Michigan) were all at his funeral.
Most of these children are married and have
families, and it is remarkable that in this large
circle of children and grandchildren the only
deaths which have taken place in thirty—two
years were two infants. At his former home
in Wilton he was a prominent man in the
community and the church. He was one of
a little band of brethren, some of whom are
still living, who organized the Society and
built the church at Zion’s Hill,aud was an ac-
tive worker in areviyal of religion in that
place, the good fruits of which still remain.
In civil life the confidence of the public was
expressed in electing him a Selectman of the
town _in connoctidn with Samuel P. Randle
and others for a long succession of years. He
was also chosen representative of the town
by a unanimous vote of both parties and ace
quitted himself honorably in the legislature of
his State. For twenty-five years he was as-
sociated with his nephews William and Geo.
L. Nichols in the hub and carriage business,
and no brothers could have manifested more
harmony and friendly attachment for each
other to the last than did these partners in
business. About twenty-five years ago he
sold out his business and removed to Nor—'
walk where he resided until the time of his
death. When he removed here be erected
the building on the corner of West Avenue
and Merwiu street now occupied by D. War.
reu Fitch, in which for several years he car-
ried on the grocery business. It was at his
home in this town that he reared his large
family and endeared himself to so lare a cir-
cle of friends, both in social and business
life. In his dealings with others he was
scrupulously honest, suffering many losses
rather than press those who were living upon
his hasdtoil. Brother Cole was of a very
happy disposition and the memory of the
many cheerful hours passed in his com—
any brings inspiration still though his
voice is hushed in death. To his family
he was earnestly devoted, sacrificing every
thing for their comfort and education.
He knew how to reprove without
ofieuce, and to be firm without severity, and
as a natural result his happy Christian life'
drew his children to trust in early life in the
God of their father. When the Society was
being formed to erect the 2nd M. E. Church
Brother Cole was among the first to put his
shoulder under the heavy burden. He was a
staunch friend of Dr. Asa Hill, and believing
firmly in the righteousness of the enterprise
in which he was engaged, he sympathized
and labored, and gave, to the extent of his
ability. When disaster came his cheerfgl
spirit encouraged the weaker brethren. The
ever memorable Sabbath services in Phoenix
Hall will linger while the present generation
remains. The Society wanted a place for
social meetings, our first gathering of the Sab-
bath School to prepare for a festival, (the first
strawberry festival by a Sabbath School in
this town.) was held in his house. His doors
were thrown open for prayer meetings, and
the official meeting in which the destiny of
the Second M. E. Church was determined
was in the upper rbom of his residence. He
was a member of the first official board and
never flagged while health permitted him to
hear his part of the burdens of the church.
Among the favored expressions of testimony
were those expressing the confidence of his
heart -—“I know religion is good to live by,
and I am sure it will be good to die by.” He
has doubtless proved the faith of his heart.
Another expression was “I am all packed up
and ready for my journey.” Again, “I am
on board the old ship Zion and expect some-
time to enter the harbor of Glory." The
sail is f urled, the anchor is dropped, the land-
ing is made, the pilgrim is home. May we
meet him in the city beyond the river.

The teoflmonywai'very full and searching,
Judge Shipman rullugthat if the inspection
was made by the United States Inspector in
good faith, and' that the engineer did not
know of any defect, he was justified in ear-

certificate. The jury in less than ten minutes

A Pure Wine.
0n the death of Dr. Underhill, of Croton
Point on the Hudson, those enterprising Gro-
cers, the Messrs. Thurber, purchased of the
Doctor’s estate, his large stock of pure Grape
Wines. They are now kept and sold very
extensively to druggiats and dealers for me—
dicinal and sacramental purposes. Their
brand of “Sweet Union Port” is probably as
fine an article as can be found in the Ameri-
can market as it is well known to experts
that not ten gallons of genuine and unadul—
terated foreign Port Wine, has reached our
shores in as many years.“ _ If, you require a
pure article, ask your Druggist or Grocer for
a sample of Thurbera’ Underhill Wines.
' o
The Public Credit.
The condition of the public credit is a
striking illustration of the small amount of
attention the people pay to the‘ workings of
the congressional mind. There are now be-
fore the house six bills calculated, if passed,
to ruin the finances of the country, not
counting those which are too ungrammatical
and absurd for discussion. One directs the
issue of $500,000,000 of legal tender paper
tobe used “for such purposes as congress
may by law direct”; another propose to
give $1,000,000 greenbacks to certain cor—
porations; another raises the volume of
greenbacks to $500,000,000; another propos-
es to issue $500,000,000 greenbacks in addi-
tion to those already afloat, and use the
specie reserve to redeem the bonds; another
proposes to issue $50,000,000 of fractional
currency; another proposes ‘to redeem the
bonds in greenbacks; another seeks to com-
pel the treasury to buy $4,000,000 of silver
per month; and then there is the Warner
bill, which substantially directs it to buy all
the spare silver in the world. Besides these
there are dozens of other financial bills still
seething in the heads of plain men, as they
toss on their boarding-house pillows, who
have never found themselves equal to the
finances of a moderateaized grocery store.
Foreign iuvestors‘think the United States
a “great country,” but' they: do not half
know how great it is. The market price of
their bonds is really no measure of the
strength of their credit. With such a leg-
islature behind the treasury as that of France
the bonds ought to stand at 150. It is not too
much to calculate the depreciating strain of
the Kelleys, Warners and Buckners at 50; it
would bring the routes or console certainly
down to 50 to 45.

How the Republicans Can Win
the Next Fight.
If the Republicans in Congress show that
they appreciate the demands of the intelli—
gence of the country for pure government,
for efficient civil . services, for national hon—
esty and sound currency, and oppose all
those things which the eager Southern De
moeracy is seeking to inaugurate, and. seek
to represent the more unselfish, better in—
structed and conscientious Republicanism
of the country, they will receive the support
of men who will be sure to turn away from
the Democratic managers in disgust. ' Sal-
vation in 1880 will not be in this or that
Presidential candidate, but in hearty accept—
ance and advocacy of those ideas and prin-
ciples of which the Republican party is the
real exponent, by those who stand as its
representatives. If Republican leaders will
recognize the situation, thousands of men
who voted for Mr. Tildeu in 1876 will vote
for the Republican candidate in 1880. There
never was a better opportunity for the
Republican leaders to win votes by showing
that they are worthy of that confidence
which the Democratic leaders have lost by
repeating the follies of the past.-Boaton
Journal.

ford, and went with Yung Wing to Morison,
Mass, to Dr. Brown’s school. He was con-
verted there, and in China joined a Christian

The Last Democratic Blunder.
The party now in a majority in the Senate
and House is, as ever, short-sighted. It has
no hesitation in vitiating an important pro—
vision of the Constitution to gain imaginary
advantage; and is wholly forgetful of .the
future. It so far mistakes the temper of the
people as to expect support in its revolu-
tionary schemes. It will not be long be—
fore it will be undeccived. The Republi—
can party is ready to accept its challenge.
The issue will be squarely presented, and,
unless the people are prepared to change
the form of government, they will stand
by those who maintain that the President,
whether he be of their own or of the op-
posing party, must be allowed the discretion
which the Constitution gives them—Boston

l‘lae Perfection of surgery.
We are more than ordinarily gratified in copy-

SURGICAL 0PERATION.—Tlle operation of lith-
omy (removal ol‘stone from the bladder), one of
the most severe and critical operations which
the sur eon is called upon to perform, was suc-
cessful y performed on Tuesday. upon Mr. Henry
H. Pitta. a. merchant of this city, by Dr. 1). Ken.
nedy, ol‘ Ronndout. Several friends of the pa.-
ticnt witnessed the operation. Mr. Pitts had suf-
‘ fered several years from this difficult , but it was
only a week before the operation _t at he was
made aware of the real cause of his complaint.
The Dactor was warmly congratulated upon the
success of his operation, and the opinion of the
medical gentlemen present is that the patient will
make a good recovery.
Bscovnnr.—Mr. Henry II. Pitts, who was re-
cently'operated upon by Dr. Kennedy for remov-
al of stone from the bladder (says the Rondout
Freeman of the 9th insn.) has recovered fi om the
effects incident to the operation, the closure of
the wound being complete on the 18th day. His
general health is good-better than it has been
for years, while he is perfectly free from all those
distressing symptoms so characteristic of the dis-
ease wuh which he suficred, and that necessita-
. tcdaresort to surgical treatment as the only
means by which his life could be saved. The
speedy restoration of Mr. Pitts to health is cer-
tainly a. worthy subject of congratulation, and we
heartily extend ours to all the parties ,eoncerned.
Had this and similar cases secured a bottle of Dr.
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy for one dollar, and
used the medicine in the early stages of the com-
plaint, there is no doubt but that the formation of
stone would have been prevented. thus avording
the necessity of subjecting themselves to one of
the most difficult operations that a surgeon is
