WESTERLY AND VICINITY Capt. Edward A. Roche on Furlough From the Rio Grande— Steamer Watch Hill in Winter Quarters—Adjusting Fire Losses—Death of Charles H. Dawley. The maxim, “Honesty is the best policy” is attributed to Peter Davis, a tailor, who was born in England in 1680 and weas a minister of the Society of Friends in Westerly in 1710, where he was a religious leader. He died in his ninety-sixth year and is buried in the Friends Burying Ground on the Post road. Peter Davis was succeeded in the ministry by his son, Peter Davis, who lived to_be 101 years old and is buried in Friends Burying Ground in Hopkinton. The Westerly friends meeting declined during the period of the revolution, and after several years the meeting became extinct. A meeting was again established in Westerly in 1864, and was held at the home of Charles Perry, in_the house occupied by the present Charles Perry. The meeting continued to be held there until the meeting house in Elm street was built in 1879, where meetings are now held on the first and fourth days of the week. South Kingston monthly meet- ing, Providence quarterly meeting and New England yearly meeting are held in_this places taken from a B.

The physician in nearly all cases of serious illness, makes a chemical analysis of the patient’s urine. He knows that unless the kidneys are doing their work properly, the othrer organs cannot readily be brought back to_health and strength. When_the kidneys are neglected or abused in any way, serious results are sure to follow. According to health sta- tistics, Bright's Disease, which is real- ly an advanced form of kidney trouble, caused nearly ten thousand deaths in one year, in the State of New York alone. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to pay more attention to the health of these imporant organs. An ideal herbal compound that has had remarkable usccess as a kidney remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. The mild and healing influence of this | preparation, in most cases, is soon realized, according to sworn statements and verified testimony of those who have used the remedy. ‘When your kidneys require attention get Swamp-Koou at ouce from any pharmacy. It is sold by every drug- isg in bottles of two sizes—50c and 1.00., However, if you wish to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.. Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle.
