ERISYPELAS is only one among many Of the
LIZ numerous ailments which originate in impu-
rites of the blood; and experience has shown that
few, if any. are more difficult to overcome. But
the Clickener Sugar coated Vegetable Pills have
grappled successful with it in every form. Mrs.
Jones. of Albany, now upwarps of SO years Of age,
had been subject to periodical returns Of this COM
plant from her earliest infancy and latterly, had
been so violently affected, as TO furnish indications
Of deranged intellect. Recourse was had, as for
merly. to the family Physician; but his prescrp-
tions only dlove the affection inward, as usual,
preparatory to breaking out with renewed violence.
The Doctor finally recommended box OF Lees
Pills; but through some mistake of the Apothe-
cary's Clerk. box af Ciickenner's Sugar Coated
Purgative Pills was sent in their stead Having
little faith in Pills of any description. and being
rather superstitious withall, they concluded that
Providence had hand in the substitution, and
after all, it might turn out for the best They ac-
cordingly made use of them The result of a ve-
~ few doses left no cause to regret their superst
tous notions. The patient rapidly recovered, and
has had no attack of Ersypelas since. The Doc
tor was highly delighted at the supposed success
of his prescription but was so completely aston
shed. when he discovered his error, that he, re-
solved from that time forward TO prescribe nothing
else in case Of Erisypelas, but Clickener's Sugar
Coated Vegetable Pills.

MIR ASTOR,S WILL.

The Journal Of Commerce publishes the
following abstract of Mr.. Astor's will The
great features of tho will and its codicils are
ample provision for all the relations Of Mr.
As'or and their children-his son, VIM. B.
Astor, being the great residuary lcgatee.
There are no trusts created for the benefit
OF relatives; though in quite number of ca.
Sc only income, or sum per annum, is TO
be paid 10 the present generation, with re.
version to their children, or other heirs, who
succeed to unrestricted possession.
The only impor.an, bequest FOR the public
benefit is one of 100000, by the codicil of
Aug. 2o!h, 1889, for erecting suitable build.
ings and establishing library in New York.
for free, general use. For this purpose he
appropriates plot of ground on the southerly
side of Astor Place, 65 feet front by 1875
deep, for the building; or, if the trustees of
this bequest think it more eXpedient, plot
Of like size Oh the east side of Astor Place.
The building is not 10 cost over S75, 900, and
the land is estimated at $4,000. Then
$4,000 are TO be expended in books maps,
statuary, &c; and the remainder to be pla-
ced at interest, to defray the expenses of
management, purchase of books, or the es-
tablishment of lectures, as the trustees may
think best. The trustees are the Mayor of
the city and the Chancellor of the State, CT
o6icio, land now named as a mark of respect
Messrs. Washington Irving, VIM. B. Astor,
Daniel Lord, Jr., james G. King, Jos. G Cogs.
well, Fitz Greene Halleck, Henry Brevoort
Jr., Samuel F. Rugglcs, Samuel Ward, Jr.
and Charles Bristed, who are TO appoint thei
successors. The trustees are to have no pay
nor is any OF them to hold any office of C.
molument under the Board.
There is bequest to the poor of Waldorf
by establishing an institution for the sick Oh
disabled, or for the improvement Of the Young
of $4,000.
The other public bequests are as follows
but must if not all of them, we believe, were
paid in advance, during the life of the tes,a
tor:
The German Society, $4,000; institution
for the Blind, $4,000; Half Orphan Asylum
$4,000; Lying-in-Asylum, $4,000.
The personal estate of Mr.. Astor is worth
from seven to nine millions of dollars, ant
his real estates perhaps as much more s,
that the aggregate is less than twenty mil
lions, or half the sum we put down the othe
day. Either sum is quite out of our sinal
