very confidently and earnestly recommend Dr. J. w. Poland Humor Doctor as an excel lent remedy for Humors, having been won. derfully benefited by it myself. My own case was very severe and obstinate ono. For more than two years the skin upon the inside of both my hands, and even down on the wrist, was constantly cracked and broken up, so that was unable to use my hands in any kind of wet work, and was obliged to wear gloves in sewing to avoid getting blood upon my work. The humor which so afflicted me was probably combination of Erysipelas and Salt Rheum. My general health was quite poor. Soon after I began to use the H,tmor Doctor, could perceive signs Of healing. I continued to take the medicine till was if nally cured. My hands are now perfectly free from humors. and to all appearances my whole system is free from it. and has been for several months. 1 used eight bottlss before felt safe to give it entirely up, but they cured me.

~ AS advertised, the Thompson and
Parkhurst concert troupe paid our village
a visit on Friday evening last. Morris hall
was well filled at an early hour in the eve-
ming, and by the time the singing COM
menced the room was literally crammed,
and the only drawback to the evenings
entertainment was the close, sufficating
state Of the atmosphere. The singing was
excellent, and in the opinion of those who
heard it, "can't be beat" The oftener they
sing, the sooner will stheir reputation be
established as the best concert troupe in
the west. Unlike most travelling COM
paniss, these singers are all perfect gentle
men, and there is nothing in their enter
tainment that can offend the taste of the
most fastideous. They will always receive
hearty welcome from the music-loving
citizens of Dodgeville.
