Doctors Dlsoourazedfiellef Found. Mr. C. E. Bartholomew, Kalkaska, Mich., writes: “ Dr. DaVid _Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy saved my life when I was a victim of Bright’s disease.” If you are suffering from Bright’s disease, dia- betes, or any urinary trouble, you should use this only cure. “ I had been troubled since 1858,-”writes S.N. Arnold, of Roch- ester, N. Y_, with gravel and catarrh of the bladder. Tried several doctors but got no relief. Upon advice, I used Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy. The result was marvelous ; a few bottles en- tirely cured me.” Do You Own a Canine? Under the law, dogs must be regis- tered on or before May 1.. If the law is going to be complied With in Nor- walk, there will be a grand old rush to Town Clerk Smith’s office to-day, be- cause of the thousands of, dogs, good, bad and indifferent, which dwell or so- journ in this town, only a few have been registered. _ _ The law applying to the registration of dogs was amended last year, making the license for male dogs $1.15 and for female dogs $10.15. A female dog Will therefore be a luxury hereafter. If all of the female-dog licenses were collect- ed the financial situation of the town of Norwalk would be c’oinpa‘ratively easy. But, alas! that tax won’t all be collected. It cannot be. By and by, however, the Select-men, and the Mayor and Common Council, and the consta- bles, and Chief of Police, and the dog catchers will tackle the dog problem with warrants, clubs, guns and other instruments of persuasion and destruc- tion. If you own a dog, the proper caper is to walk up to the Town Clerk’s 1office right away and pay for the pun- ege. . 4.13, _ , 3‘ ' Marci Substitutehfor Mother's Milk é ‘ewt‘on Upper Falls, Mass. . , Dear Sirs 2—1 have used your Mellin's Food ." two years: can highly recommend it to the public.

The rumors afloat to the effect that the late Mr. Thomas S. Morison left a will is without foundation and his es- tate will be placed in charge of admin- istrators to be appointed by the Court of Probate. It will be remembered that the father of Mr. Morison left the use and income of one hundred thous- and with the homestead to his widow, and the residue of his fortune, some five hundred thousand more, outright to his son. This legacy, under the laws of Connecticut, comes to the young :widow and her two children in equal thirds. Guardians will also have to be appointed for the two minor chil- dren, and it is reported that a. meeting was held Wednesday, evening, of the family and friends at which these mat-V ters were considered, with the inform- al result that in all probability Messrs. T. S. Vanderhoef and Cashier W. A. Curtis or Dr. Hutchinson of N. Y, would be selected by them as guardians for the children and administrators on the estate, without requiring the bonds usual in such cases, if such course meets the approval of the Judge 0 the Probate court. - -____<’.>——_»—..._..__.

My usual weight is about 220, but before many weeks I weighed 236. The extra weight was caused by the accumu- lation of water. At this time I began using ALLEN’S ‘ slosmmlu.
