The story comes from Berlin that a
series Of panels representing the apos-
ties. painted on wood by Albrecht Dur
er and stolen long ago from the Pima
koihek In Munich, has been found
through lawsuit. Some years ago n
peasant woman near Courtral came
into possession Of an old picture dlvid-
ed into six panels and slowed II In her
barn. Last year she sold few odds
and ends for few coppers TO the son
of the local coach painter. and the old
hoard among them. To her surprise
and disgust she learned that he had
sold this one piece for more than $40.
So "she went ard had the law Of him"
for buying n treasure Of her without
letting her know It's value. The court
called for experts. who decided that the
old board was genuine masterpiece of
the Nuremberg genius and the picture
was traced to the Munich National
museum.

On the Verge of Brlght's Disease
A Quick Cure That Lasted.
CASE NO. 30611.-C. e. Boies, dealer
in grain and feed, sos South Water
street, Akron, O., made the following
statement In 1896; he said: Ever
since the Civil War have had attacks
Of kidney and bladder trouble, decid-
edly worse during the last two or three
years. Although I consulted physi-
clans, some of whom told me I was
verglng on Bright's disease, and was
continually using standard remedies,
the excruclating aching just across the
kidneys, which radiated to the shoul-
der blades, still existed. AS might be
expected when my kidneys were in q
disturbed condition, there was q dis
tressing and inconvenient difficulty
with the action Of the kidney secre-
tions. A box of Doan's Kidney Pills,
procured at Lamparter g. Co.'s drug
store, brought such ,iecided change
within q week that I continued the
treatment. The last attack, and 1t was
particularly aggravated, disappeared"
Three Years After.
Mr.. Boles says in 1909: "In the
spring Of 1906 I made O public state
ment Of my experience with Doan's
Kidney Pills. This remedy cured mo
of q terrible aching In the kidneys, in
the small Of my back, in the muscles
of the shoulder blades, and in the
limbs. During the years that have
gone by can conscientiously say there
have been no occurrences Of my old
trouble. My confidence in Doan's Kid
ney Pills is stronger than ever, not
only from my personal experience,
but from the experience of many 9TH
ers in Akron which have come to my
notice."
A FREE TRIAL of this great kid
ney medicine which cured Mr.. Boles
will be mailed on application to any
part Of the United States. Address
Foster-Alllburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. For
sale by all druggists, price 80 cents

Smoking Cures Catarrh.
A Combination of Herbs, 3moked in a
Pipe, Cures Catarrh of Head,
Nose and Throat.
SAMPLES MAILED FREE.
Contains No Tobacco and is Pleasant
,oL E3eu N Iico

Contains No Tobacco and is Pleasant
and Easy to Use.
The fact that the smoking Of tobac-
co is injurious to the health is no ar
gument against the use of DR.. Blosser's
Catarrh Cure in a pipe, or in the form
of cigarettes, as this remeuy contains
no tobacco or any injurious drug.
The effect Of remedy applied direct
ly to the diseased part is much bet
ter than the uncertain action of medi-
cines taken into the stomach. This
IS the philosophy, profound as 1t is
simple, Of the treatment of catarrh
with DR.. Blosser's Catarrh Cure.
1t is the only known remedy that
can penetrate the recesses of the head,
throat and lungs. Mo liquid remedy
can do this. No spray that ever was
devised-surely no constitutional"
nostrum taken intoGthe stomach-can
reach the infamede.. surfaces and
soothe and heal them as this
medicated smoke-vapor does.s ss
In order to demonstrate its merits,
a three days trial treatment will be
sent, absolutely free, to any sufferer.
