Those having the misfortune to suf-
fer from backache, urinary disorders,
gravel, dropsical swellings, rheumatic
pains, or other kidney and bladder dis
orders, will read with satisfaction this
encouraging statement by a Mineral
Point man,
Samuel Terrill, well known business
man of Mineral Point, Wis, says :
Sometimes my kidneys were too active
and then again they weren't active
enough. Two boxes of Doans Kidney
Pills fixed up this trouble and left me
in good shape. You may use my name
recommending Doan's Kidney Pills. -
Mr.. Terrill is only one of many Min
eral Point people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your
back aches-if your kidneys bother you,
don't simply ask for kidney remedy
ask distinctly for Doan's Kidney Pills,
the same that Mr.. Terrill had the
remedy backed by home testimony.

Jacob AsJor, son by lis second marriage,

The estate is declared to be tie largest
ever appraised in this country. The cost
of determining its value was made re-
markably low owing to an understanding
by which the Astor estate bore one-half
of the expenses and the state of New
York the other half. This made 1t un-
necessary for each side to employ experts
with Il possibility Of having to engage
to neutral appraisers in event of a dis
agreement.
Aside from the announcement of the
amounts that revert TO the heirs, there
are two features of special interest in
the appraisal.
