physician, who has been at Mont

close his Office there Sept. Ist. Dur
lug his stay at the capital he has
treated over 500 cases and turned
away large number of incurablc
ones. His treatment has in every
instance proved beneficial and in a
large majority of cases complete
cure has been effected; the natural
result is that praise for DIR. Sproulc
is heard on every hand. Should he
return here next year he would find
hundreds of former patients to well

The Barre Enterprise of
June 2nd has the following to
say Of the Doctors work in
Montpelier:
1t is wonderful how the patients
flock to the Exchange Hotel, Mont
pelicr, to see DR.. Sproulc, the ce!c-
brated English specialist in chronic
diseases. We suppose it is because
he has such good success in all cases
which he treats. He has made dis
ease and its causes a study all his
life and is thoroughly qualified to
treat the most difficult cases. From
what we can learn the Doctor Justly
merits his success.

DR.. Sproulc, the English special
list in chronic diseases and at present
located at the Exchange Hotel, this
city, is meeting with well mcritcd
success. From early morning till
late at night his offices are crowded
with persons seeking relief from
their ailments. SO great Il number
have placed their cases in his hands

DR.. SprouIc is still carrying ON

velous cures which he has accom-

The Portland daily press., 1895-03-04

There is now due from the Ma llet es-
tate less than $4,000, and the assessed
valuation of Mr.. Mallets property in
Freeport alone is still, after many sales
have been made. 100000. The two shoe
factories are not assessed, and are there.
fore to he added to the above, as is also
the bequest of Mr.. Mallet, making the
present assessed value of his property
S12o, 900, and the real selling valne very
much in excess of that sum.
No account has been taken of the
many and large investments made by
Mr.. Mallet in the west. All his large
western holdings arc intact, an d are of
value Judge Symonds believes THAI if
the present work of paying the bills is
allowed to continue, Mr.. Ma1lett will
have at least STE, 900 of his Freeport
property left, and, with all his large
western holdings to be added, and TIL csc
holdings are apparently in most cases
valuable, the final result must be to
leave Mr.. MalIet still a rich man, and
with every dollar he ever incurred hon
orally paid with interest.
Mr.. MaIlet's desire is, and has been.
to see his estate clear of debt, and the
assign ees have tried hard to pay the
dc BITS with as little injurA to the estate
as possible Mr.. Mallet is very anxious
to have this done with as little injury to
Freeport as may be. He is devoted to
the town, of which he Is the best
known citizen, and holds the interest of
the place as dear as his own personal in
terests. With all these ends in view, the
work Of paying the debts has progressed
somewhat slowly, but still over SO, 600
has been wiped out.
Judge Symonds said shat no matter
what might result from the pending
legal proceedings brought by Mrs. Mallet
the solvency of the estate would not be
affected. If the assignees are forced
to change their plans, or il they must
pay to Mrs. Maliet a certain portion of
the money received from very piece of
real estate sold, the cost of the settlement |
of the estate will be increased, and the |
value of Mr.. Mallet's property will be |
correspondingly reduced. Judge Sy- |
monds not having seen the documents |
in the case, or consulted with his asso-
clate, Mr.. Cook, was not in a position to
indicate his probable line of action as |
assignee, or as the attorney for Mr..
Mallet. i
Judge Symonds was also inclined to |
think that Mrs. Mallet is very fairly well |
provided for. He could not state ex-
actly on that point, but had been told
that she had property valued at $40, 900
standing in her name. Regarding the
allegations made concerning the strained
domestic relations of Mr.. and Mrs. NAL
let Judge Symonds had nothing to say.
