WHAT A CLERGYMAN says about the
vitalizing power of Compound Oxygen.
"A clergyman, Rev. w. b. Hines, Of
Waynesboro', Miss, writing to the
New Orleans Christian Advocate, says,
referring to an advertisement of Com

allow me few words of commenda-
ton. My wife being in feeble health
and having been SO for many years,
persuaded her to use it, which she did
she began very soon to improve in
strength and continued to improve and
passed through the unusally hot sum-
mer of 1873 and the fall, attending to all
her domestic duties with more strength
and less fatigue than she had done for
ten years preceding; then during the
winter nursed the sick day and night.

lei of percentage will be the chief stumb-

at the meeting of the committee OF the
ChicagoSt Louis division that the wa
bash wants one-third Of the business DC

that the managers will on Monday devise

the Lake Erie and Western still booming its

of the outstanding tickets into the hands OF
