OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES FAyORIrE.


1t was always marvel to the amusement
loving public how Lolita could be so sick that
| the Chestnut ST. Opera House, Philadelphia,
| was compelled to be closed for one week, about
two years ago. and that at the end of that time
| she was well enough to resume her play OF
=" Nitouche." More than this. it was noticed
that her voice had acquired fresh volume, and
| in " NitOuche," which is a singing play, she
could be heard in ensemble as well as in solo.
Among all the gifted ladies who adorn the
stage Lolita is decidedly the pet and favorite.
| Her intense vitality, her beauty, and the versa
tility of her talents draw all classes to see her.
She has been on the stage since her eighth year,
and in all that time the breath of scandal has
never once assailed her. She is phenominally
devoted child to her mother, in whose society
she is found at all times. Can it be wondered
at that this little lady returned so soon to her
| labor at the Opera House, when we remember
that this speedy restoration was due to the in
halation OF Compound Oxygen A press cor

Mrs. James 81. Heverin, of Delaney Place, (wife
OF the eminent counsellor,) that L obtained a
brief interview with Lolita in reference to the
treatment of Drs. Starkey & Palen, which pre-
vented her great pecuniary loss. The little
| comedienne was spending the day there; and
as she answered my card she came bounding

"Oh, yes! You remember the terrible sore

skill of my New York physicians? After burn

to bring the whole trouble under immediate
control"
"Then you do not favor burning the throat
or any of the methods usually resorted to-"
No l think it harsh and cruel treatment,
and it cannot be long before Compound Oxygen
will come to the rescue of all the profession"
"Drs. Starkey & Paen claim that the health
obtained by the Compound Oxygen treatment
is as genuine and permanent as ones original
health. Does your experience confirm that
opinion ?"
YES it most certainly does. Ibave not been
sick an hour since I used the Oxygen. My
mother has also been greatly benefited by the
use OF the Oxygen and is as great an enthusiast
as l. 1t seems to invigorate the whole cOnstitu-

Duuy. LII my profession am always STUDY ing
