THINK TWICE.
II Will Repay Residents of BrattIeboro
to Follow This Citizens Advice,

That good old adage-"Think twice
and act once'-is brought to mind
when one reads the following account
of the experience of a Brattleboro cit
izen. Mrs. Whitney made public
statement on the subject years ago,
and at this time repeats her former
testimony with renewed emphasis.
Mrs. E. E. Whitney, professional
nurse, of is Green street, saws:
when We lived at No 2 Church
street, in the winter of 1897, had been
annoyed for years with attacks of pain
in the small of my back and other
symptoms of either weakened or over
excited kidneys, when an advertise
ment about Doan's Kidney Pills in
duced me to go to Greene's drug store
for a box. If the treatment had not
produced marked results l never would
have bought a second, nor continued
until | used several. 1 made these
facts known to residents of Brattleboro
at the time, and now, over five years
from that date, l just as emphatically
recommend the same means employed
to get relief as did when it first came
to my notice"

A sad accident happened at the
south part of Chesterfield Friday after
noon. Clifford futile and Johnnie
Robbins were out hunting for hedge
hogs. Johnnie struck one on the head
with his gun, discharging the weapon
the contents entering his leg near the

mind to cord the leg and stop its bleed

him to his home. An ambulance was
sent for to take him to the hospital at
Keene, where his leg was amputated.
He died the next morning. The funeral
