Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite
Remedy is the one medicine that
really cures all diseases of the
kidneys, liver,bladder and blood,
rheumatism, dyspepsia and
chronic constipation and corrects
the bad effects of beer and whis-
key on the system. It is won-
derful how it makes that pain in
the back disappear, how it re-
lieves the desire to urinate often,
especially at night, and drives
away that scalding pain in pass-
ing water and in a remarkably
shorttime makes you well and

New York, April 1.—The steer-
age lists of the incoming ocean
steamers have lately shown re-
markable increase in immigra-
tion. but the record was proba-
bly reached today when the
Hamburg-American liner Bata-
via. chartered by the North
German Lloyd line, arrived from
Bremen with 2,692 steerage pas-
sengers. The Batavia left Bre-
men with 2,696 immigrants, but
four died during the voyage.
One, a Hungarian, 47 years of
age, fell into the lower hold and
fractured his skull, living but a
few hours. An old Frisian wo-
men died of senility, one child of
scarlet fever and another of
pneumonia. On the Bata' 1‛s
arrival five were in the hospital
with scarlet fever and two wi n
pneumonia, a remarkable record
for 2,696 persons cooped up at
sea for over thirteen days.
All the steamship lines have
brought to the United States an
unusual number of immigrants
