Of Interest to All Iuvalids.

DIR. truth, of the Provident Medical Dis
pensary, New York City, will make his
next visit to OwossO, Merell House, We'd
nesday, Oct. 30th. DIR. truth is no stranger
In this community. He makes regular vis-
its here, and his many patients are ready to
bear witness to the efficacy of his treat
ment and permanency of his cures, even in
those cases other physicians pronounced in
curable. This fact alone ought to convince
the most skeptical. Those who from year
to year have been putting off the treatment
which they need, should no longer doubt
the evidence of their own senses. Success
Is the best of merit" and DIR. Truths sue
cess is as remarkable as it is substantial.
His reputation rests upon the solid basis of
WORK done and of value rendered for every
dollar of fees he has collected. DIR. truth
is no tramp doctor, with no home, no place
of business, no credit, no responsibility, who
fits from the city to city, protesting to raise
the dead, but makes professional visits to
those communities where his patients are
most numerous, and for the benefit of those
who can not make It convenient to visit
him at his home Office. Those who, there
fore, confound DIR. truth with the ordinary
travelling doctor" are unjust to him and to
themselves, for by consulting him, they
would be convinced of their mistake. DO
not put of your visit to some future time.
but call and see him at once.

cabled here two weeks ago of the discovery
Of the long forgotten grave of Lord Howe,
the hero Of the battle of Ticonderoga in 1853
under street Of the village of that name in
New York state, has stimulated the patri-
otism of few public spirited Englishmen
who propose to appropriately mark the rest

being quietly collected for the purpose and
an artistic monument will be erected at a
convenient spot near Ticonderoga to which
the remains can be conveniently removed.
