4 WONDERFUL discovery has recently
IA been made by DR.. Curtis OF this city, IN
the Treatment of Consumption, Asthma and all
diseases ofthe Lungs. We refer to DIR. Cur
it's Hygeana. or Inha.ing Hygean vapor and
Cherry Syrup" With this new method, DR..
G. has restored many afflicted ones to health,
as an evidence OF which he has irnumerable
certificates. Speaking Of the treatment, a
physician remarks, ''It is evident that inhal-
ing-constantly breathing an agreeable, heal
ing vapor--the medicinal properties must come
in direct contact with the whole aerial cavities
OF the lungs, and thus escape the many and
varied changes produced upon them when in
troducedsnto the stomach, and subject to the
proc SIS OF diges ton" The Hygeana is for
sale at all the Druggists throughout the coun-
try.-New York Dutchman, Jan. IA.
The Inhaler is worn on the breast under tn e
linen without the least inconvenience--the
heat Of the body being sufficient to evaporate
the fluid.

Lines written upon the death Of B. c. Grenup.
Rsspseff.I,y dedicated to ths Colxnbis Fire
Company By "A Friend"
Hark bark the startling cry Of "nre"
Peals forth upon the midnight air
The flames burst forth with raging fury,
And gid the clouds with lurid glare.
And from their dreams thy members wake;
Their duty calls, the foe is raging
Quick quick thy post Of duty take.
The bell Is rung brave men assemble,
With eagerness to reach the fire,
And there, amid the binding smoke,
To toll with wills that never tire.
They start with gay and buoyant spirits,
As they had often done before:
But oh great God how sad the sequel
There's one brave soul will start no more.
When sickness holds loved companion,
And death o'ertakes him In his bed
Our hearts prepared 10 bear the sorrow,
To hear him numbered with the dead;
But oh how deep and keen the anguish
That fills our souls with mourning grief,
To see friend so dear, SWITCHED from US
In space Of time so very brief.
Yes, our beloved companion . dead:
He now lies sleeping In the tomb:
His soul has winged its way TO God,
And left us here to mourn his doom.
Though now his voice Is hushed In death,
No more to sing those songs so sweet,
His memory will live In everv heart
Until they shall no longer beat.
