WilSOnia Magnetic
 MUTUAL. Health Insurance.

We make no specialties among the multi form diseases, in treating with the Wilsonia Magnetic Appliances.
 Testimonials of cures of all diseases by Wilsonia are too abundant to admit of being very prevalent in this climate, we are calling special attention to this disease.
 Catarrh is essentially blood poison, and body. Personal experience, as well as many indisputable cures by Wilsonia in this city and neighborhood, prove beyond the shadow of doubt that this mode of treatment is the most successful ever adopted for the cure of Oatarrh. It so changes the quality of the blood that the system throws off the germ of the disease, and is purified. We have not known one case of Catarrh Dyspepsia, Con- stipation or Rheumatism to fail of cure where the Appliances were worn as directed. We therefore give guarantees for the cure of these three diseases, or refund half the mon- ey, simply to get the doubting to try, for we know that none of them will ever claim the return of the money.
 Those who cannot pay all cash can pay one-half, and the balance in easy install ments.
 We ask all chronic sufferers who are able to call and get particulars from our agent JULIUS IVES, No. Elm street, Todd's Block, New Haven, or by sending card he will visit them.
 It greatly strengthens confidence to exam inc the goods.

A Sunday school concert was held in the old stone church in East Haven last Sunday evening, and among the many and most in- terektng things laid down on the programme was the presentation to the pastor, Rev. D. J. Clark, by the superintendent, in behalf of his many friends, 8 handsome gold watch and chain with the appropriate engraving there- on. The reverend gentleman was taken en- tirely by surprise, but it is hard work to put him in position where he cannot respond, and he responded very handsomely. Judging from the appearance of the watch given him we are sure that now more than ever will it be hard work to knock him out of time.
