The Art Of Gettine Acouaiuted.

1t is fine art to bring two entire strangers
together for the first time, by means of letter
or an introduction, in just such manner that
the true character Of each shall appear and that
neither shall be deceived. Candor is of the irst
Importance. Without mutual truth and per-
sonal integrity one Of the parties is likely to
suffer by the meeting. Philosophical lawyers
and conscientious physicians all know that
their clients or patients respect them Just in
proportion to the conscious ability manifested
to aid them. The value of an advertisement
rests on the confidence inspired as to the good
faith OF the advertiser. Drs. Starkey & Palen,
who for many years have been efTecting re-
markable cures with their Compound Oxygen
treatment, declare most emphatically that they
will give a truthful aud candid answer to every
patient who applies to them for cure. If they
believe that the patient requires some other
system Of treatment they will say so at once
Compound Oxygen is not cure all remedy,
but for diseases of the lungs, throat, stomach,
and nerves its success is wonderful. Their Of
fees at 1929 Arch street. Philadelphia, Pa, are
crowded with patients but applications from
people in distant parts of the country have in
duced them to introduce their new system of
Home Treatment by which patients can take
the gas at their own fresides. Write for PAM

18th KY. at Franklin,

EDITOR NATIONAL Tribune: Please give
me space in your noble paper that I may give
some of the details regarding the 18th Ky. at
Franklin, Tenn. We were placed in the re-
serve, but in a short time after the battle began
were ordered to the front by some means. and
when we reached the works said to be those
the 104th Ohio had occupied we met Cheat
hams men, who were then coming over the
works. We captured some, killed Others and
drove the rest back. We lost good many in
killed and wounded. / don't think all of the
104th Ohio retreated, for as / now recollect Co.
X of that regiment was partly, if not all, still
in the works when we reached them, and thew
remained there until the fight was over. If
any more of that regiment remained in the
works do not know it, / know that the 18th
KY. occupied the position that was said to have
been occupied by the 104th Ohio, and that was
on the left of the Columbia pike-REUBEN Il.
