had even prepareda surprise for his old friend
in the shape of a handsome violin, which
he expected 10 present to him on the occas-

and heard the sad news OF MarshalI's tragic
death, the shock WAS 50 great that rs he him.

Get More Oxygen.

The Philadelphia Business Aduooate. speak
ing OF the new and remarkably successful
treatment for chronic diseases known as
compound OXYGEN says: 1--WE call par
ticular att chtion to this new treatment, and
especially for those who are suffering from
chest or catarrhal diseases, or from any of the
various forms of neuralgia. The larger
amount of oxygen which 1t furnishes TO the
lungs gives a higher degree Of warmth and
vitality 10 the system, and so fortifies il
against the assaults of wintsr. A few years
ago a gentleman of this city, with lungs so
weak and vitality so low that lie was obliged
to seek a southern latitude every winter OF
cOnfire himself to the house from Decem ber
to March, was induced by friend who had
received great benefit from the oXyg n treat
ment to give IL trial. The result was not
only improved health, but the ability to re-
main in the city all through the colder sea-
son of the year. We believe that he has not
been south since he commenced to use the
oxygen" II you wish To know all about this
new treatment, write to DTs. Starkey & L len,
