The Greatest Medical Discovery of the Age.

KENNEDY’S
MEDICAL DISCOVERY

DONALD KENNEDY, OF ROXBURY, MASS.,

Has discovered in one of our common pasture weeds a remedy that cures every kind of Humor, from the worst Scrofula down to a common Pimple.

He has tried it in over eleven hundred cases, and never failed except in two cases (both thunder humor). He has now in his possession over two hundred certificates of its value, all within twenty miles of Boston.

A benefit is always experienced from the first bottle, and a perfect cure is warranted when the right quantity is taken.

When the lungs are affected it causes shooting pains, like needles passing through them; the same with the Liver or Bowels. This is caused by the ducts being stopped, and always disappears in a week after taking it.

If the stomach is foul or bilious it will cause squeamish feelings at first.

No change of diet ever necessary. Eat the best you can get, and enough of it Dose, one tablespoonful in water at bed-time. Read the Label. Send for Book.

The “Charmer” Pea

Pleases Everybody Because:—Very Productive; Highest Quality; Fine Flavor; Staying Qualities; Great Merit; Deep Green Color, Large Peas, Closely Packed; Nine in a Pod.

This new variety of large podded, handsome Table Pea, introduced by us, jumped at a bound into instantaneous favor all over the United States.

The plants stand from three and a half feet to four feed high, and bear large, long pods, mostly in pairs, which are packed remarkably close with flattened, greenish-white, wrinkled peas, and these, when cooked, are of the finest flavor and color. The weight of the Pea compared to the pod is much greater than usual, producing more shelled peas than any other variety.

In season it follows Little Gem and comes before Champion of England. Both for the market and family garden this Pea will be found of the highest merit.

Everybody is charmed with this variety, and whether for private use or marketing, a liberal quantity should be planted.

Price, per packet 10 cents; per pint 30 cents; per quart 50 cents.

Vick’s Pea, King of the Dwarfs.

This new seedling, introduced by us, in season follows closely McLean’s Little Gem, coming into market in the space intervening between the early and the late varieties. The vines are sturdy and remarkably vigorous, growing about two inches taller than the Little Gem, and bearing a profusion of pods and Peas in the pod, with all of the principal dwarf varieties, including the American Wonder, we find that the King of the Dwarfs outyields them all by 20 per cent., all planted at the same time, on the same soil, with equal cultivation.

It is a cross between American Wonder and McLean’s Little Gem, and is the most promising of forty different seedlings. In flavor it is unsurpassed.

Price, per packet 15 cents; per pint 75 cents; per quart $1.25.

VICKS’ SEEDS DO NOT DISAPPOINT. THE HARVEST IS GREAT.

1894 COLUMBIAS ARE BEYOND CRITICISM

No bicycle ever made at all approaches them in beauty and style joined to excellence of construction, none so strongly appeals to the experienced rider as meeting every requirement of a perfect mount.

The need of repairs for Columbias will be infrequent under our new system of inspection, which now begins with a scientific analysis of the raw material by a metallurgist, and only ends when thorough tests have been made of the complete machine and all its parts.

1894 Standard Price, $125.00.

Seven newly designed wheels are shown in our 1894 Catalogue which will interest every cyclist. Our agents furnish it free, or we mail it for two two-cent stamps.
