Testimonials for liquid kidney RENE
dies, even when honestly given, do not
tell the whole story. The temporary
stimulation from the large percentage
of alchohol such remedies invariably
contain is only putting off the evil day.
If every honest endorser of any IL
quid kidney remedy could be visited
some months later, hardly one would be
found to have escaped the relapse.
Kidney Wort Tablets contain no al
cohol to cause a setback. The Tablets
positively cure that frequent desire to
urinate, pains in the back, swelling of
feet and ankles, scalding pain in bladder
and rheumatism due to uric acid.
An example of what Kidney-Wor
Tablets will do for any sufferer is here
given by Mr.. A. Richards the widely
known Montreal official of the Cana
dian Pacific Railway:
"For many years have been victim
of kidney trouble, which caused me
great suffering and mental anxiety.

HEAVY FAILURE.
Receiver for the Norcross Bros.
Company Of Boston.
Has Contracts Now on Hand Which
Will Aggregate $4,000, 900.
Liabilities Over 100000 and Cannot
Meet Obligations.

Boston, July 22-ContractS to the
amount of 100000 are involved in the
embarrassment of the NOrcross Bros.
Co, the extensive contractors and
builders, for whom receivers We're APP
pointed by Judge Brown in the United
States circuit court, here, this afternoon.
The failure was not generally antici-
pated by the real estate world. 1t is
estimated that the corporation has net
liabilities in excess of 100000.
The receivers appointed are William
D. Lucy, president of the First Nation
al Bank of Worcester; and Frank B.
Smith Worcester lawyer. They We're
appointed in a suit brought by Walter
B. Manchester and James S. Hudson
(Manchester & Hudson) of Providence,
and Wells & Newton Co. of New York,
two small creditors who together with
several Worcester banks, also creditors
of the defendant concern, consented to
the appointments.
The defendant company is alleged to
have outstanding contracts to the
amount of SO ,000, 900 on which it has al
ready extended $4,000, 900, and that it is
unable to meet it's obligations as they
mature.
The defendant concern is a Massa-
chusetts corporation and has several
plants at Worcester and elsewhere
throughout the United States. 1t has
conducted some of the largest building
operations in this city and elsewhere.
The Norcross Bros. Co. of Worcester.
Mass, was incorporated Jan. /, 1902. 1t
consists of Otis w. Norcross, President:
Albert J. Park, treasurer and William
J. Denholm. The capital stock is ST.
100000, in 100 shares at $4,000 a share.
The business of the company is general
building, Quarrying, structural manu-
featuring and keeping of building ma
terials. 1t has brownstone and granite
quarries at East Longmeadow and
Braggville, Mass, and Stony Brook,
Conn.,, and controls several allied con-
Germs.
The company employed thousands of
men, and carried contracts with steel
mills which enabled them to do bust
on an enormous scale. The firm had
many government building contracts
and had constructed custom houses and
post offices all over the country.
