T-7HOUSANDS Of women are un- v
III consciously, step by step, follow
ing the path from health to sick
ness. The failure of health is often so 4
gradual that women do not notice the COM
inc of disease until actual pain and suffer-
ing is upon them. After the pain ceases
temporarily they think little Of g the trou-
bles that come and go in day" They do
not know that headaches, biliousness, stom-
ach troubles and colds create deep-seated
diseases. They do not realize that a sallow
complexion and a leathery skin are fore
runners of Bright's disease of the Kidneys;
that constipation and feeling of languor
show a torpid liver. Bright's disease
comes from diseased kidneys and develops
completely before any warning is given,
because kidneys have few nerves. A tor
mid liver invites all kinds of contagion. lr-
regular menstruation is the beginning of a
life of suffering affecting every part of the
body if not promptly corrected. Wine OF
Cardui is the remedy that has record Of
over 900 900 cures of this malady. Every
woman who values her health should keer
Wine of Cardui and Thedford's Black
Draught in her home and take it regularly
before and during the menstrual period
This will insure regular and healthy men
situation and guard against running
down of the system which always result
in such serious trouble for women.
Thousands of women praise Wine o

has been taken which it has not cured or
greatly benefited.
Mrs. Ida Mcdonald, No. All Beaubien st !,
Detroit, Mich, is prominent woman who
was greatly benefited by this great medi-
cine. Mrs. Mcdonald is the supreme dep
uty of the Maccabees of the world, and one
of the most widely known women in the
United States. Thousands of women gather
to hear her lecture everywhere she goes,
The great work she has done for the Mac
cabees is appreciated by every member OF
the order. She was so absorbed in her
work that she neglected to give her health
proper care-failed to take warning that

the same as it has cured thousands OF Others
and Mrs. Mcdonald has written this lettel
in order that other suffering women ma,

tor, to him for his signature, gave It
to Miss Ida Mcclure, now Mrs. Paige,
and asked her to induce Mr.. Cornell to
hear the will read and see if she could
not get him to sign it. Mrs. Paige tes-
titles that on two different occasions
she asked Mr.. Cornell to permit her to
read the will to him, and that he stern
ly and angrily refused to hear it read,
saying at once that these men, OF
boys, seemed to be in very much of IA
hurry. Mrs. Paige further testifies
that after these two attempts on hei
part to induce Mr.. Cornell to hear the
will read, she then turned it over tc

ANOTHER VIEW.
Mr.. S. J. Rchte Presents His Side Of the
Case In the Suit Recently Disposed OFF,

June Is, 1892. This will pur.
ported to have been witnessed by Alex
ander Aungst, Ida Mcclure and NJ. Il.
Mcclure. On further investigation we
learned that this will was not executed
on May 23, as its date would indicate,
but that it was signed, If signed at all,
two or three days before Mr.. Cornell's
death.
We quote from the testimony Of Alex
ander Aungst, taken before w. II. Col
lins. notary puOnc, ut Akron in Octo-
Der last: There was nothing said
about that (meanng the signing of the
wild until Il short time before he died,
and Mr.. McFarlin was there, and when
he would come | would always go out.
They counseled together u good deal,
and he called me in, and Mrs. Mcclure
and Miss Mcclure, and they all three
signed the will, and / held Mr.. Cornell
up, set by him in the bed, held him
up So as to steady him when he wrote
the will-signed the will.'
And in another place in his testimony
Aungst states that he didn't think the
will was signed more than five days
prior to Cornell's death.
Mrs. Paige fixes the time positively
and definitely as being on tuesday,
June Z. And in a later examination,
Aungst says that it might not have
been more than two days before Mr..
Cornells death.
We further found that this will had
been prepared by Mr.. Baird, as he
claimed, at the solicitation and request
of Mr. Cornell; that Mr.. Cornell had
sent for him, through Mr.. McEarlin
to come to the Mcclure residence Oh
Market St, several days prior to the
date upon which the will appears tC
have been signed; and after u conyer
saton with Mr.. Cornell, lasting at least
Il half hour, or not more than an hour
at best, at which no one else was pres
cnt, in reference to the terms of the
will, he returned to his Office and draft

and have enjoyed fine health ever since.

woman who wishes to enjoy perfect health and
am very pleased to give my hearty endorse
ment."
No suffering woman can afford to ignore
such a letter as Mrs. Mcdonald writes. Her
plans and advice have proved valuable in
building up one of the greatest women's
organizations in the United States and she
takes time to give advice which she knows
will help you. But thousands of other
home-loving women have written letters
like this one all praising Wine of Cardui
and Thedford's Black-Draught. 1t is easy
to put off securing this medicine, but the
. trouble grows worse and harder to cure.
Why not be rid of the pain and suffering
! as soon as possible? Go TO your druggist
today and secure dollar bottle of Wine Of

ro ,,o Editor Of the Democrat:

TO the Editor Of the Democrat:
In your issue of Monday evening,
March sist you printed in full the
opinion of Judge Anderson, in the case
of nv wife, Sophronia j. Ritchle,
brought in his court for the purpose Oh
removing the pretended executors to
the will of the late Z. w. Cornell.
l take it If this case was of sufficient
importance to justify the use OF SIN
columns of your valable space for the
purpose of giving to the public TINS
opinion that you would willingly and
gladly give me permission to lay pe-
fore the public some OF the facts that
moved myself and wife to institute this
prosecution. together with the evidence
which thought fully sustained the
allegations contained in the motion,
and entitled her to the relief she ask
ed.
And as the court went somewhat
out of its way in delivering this opin-
ion, to condemn and censure me, ana
to make it appear that no other per-
son in the community had any faith
in the truthfulness of any of these
charges, | think that | am fully justi-
fed in asking permission to state
through your columns as briefly as L
can my view of this case, as follows:
This prosecution was brought under
section COLI of the revised statutes,
which reads in part as follows:
THE probate court may at any time
remove any executor or administrator,
he having 20 days notice thereof, Tor
habitual drunkenness gross neglect of
duty, incompetency, fraudulent con
duct or any other cause which
in the opinion of such court renders il
for the interest of the estate that
such executor or administrator be re
moved
Our claim was that the term fra I'd

trust, but would also include frau,

These. so called, executors have re

by me as belonging to my wife, val
ued at several hundred thousand dol
lars, for a period OF nearly four years
and half Neither my wife nor my
self owe the Cornell estate one penny
and we'have made every possible elfor
to secure the possession Of this prop
erty. Thus far we have been unsuc
cessful. After being confronted at ev
cry turn with all sorts of obstacle
in the way of litigation, ETC., we ue
cided to look carefully into the conduc
of these executors, both in the inceT
ton and creation of their alleged trus
as well as into their administration o
the same.
