nothing strange or startling. He was in
debt, 1t seems, to L E Blain, for . suit ol

him, he made an exchange Of the horse

Saturday, supposing that he was all right
This left Mr. Blain eut in the cold, very
uncsrsmonisusly,fo for Mr Broyse has lived
in the country several years, and there

DR. T Tate desires TO announce to those
Of his patrons who have been waiting for the
"vitalised air" that he has ct last, after
many vexatisns delays got his apparatus for
generating the gas in running order and he
Is now ready to wait upon those who desire
to have their teeth extracted without pain
or the UNPLEASANT results which often follow
the administration of other anassthetiss. he
will keep the "air" on hand in his Office
here until Christmas, after which date the
apparatus will be taken down preparatory to
It's removal to Portland. Tho expenses in.
sidsnt to the administration of the ''vital-
User air" are necessarily greater, than those
attending the other amaesthetics, but dur
ing the short time that it will be kept here
the price of it's administration will be the
same as that Of the ordinary laughing gas.
It will thus come within the reach of all.

West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1883-08-08
July Electra.

Electra for July is an excellent
magazine Of fifty-four pages, which
we have examined and read with
pleasure and profit.
This excellent monthly, publish
ed at Louisville, KY, by Misses
Wilson and Leyburn, is especially
suited to the wants of young wo-
men, and we heartily recommend
that parents put it into the hands
of their daughters.
Price only $500 per year, and
we would be glad to see the Electra
in many West Virginia homes.
