A CA r j
FROM
MR.. T. E. ROESSLE.
PROPRIETOR OF
The Arlington.
THE ARLINGTON"
WASHINGTON, D. c.,
March 6, 1890.

MY DEAR DR.. LIGHTuILL:
1t gives me great pleasure to state
that you effected remarkable cure Of
deafness and discharge from the ears in
the case Of my cousin, Marcus g.
Roessle, and that the cure has proved as
permanent as it was radical. Ifeel sure
that without your skillful aid my cousin
would have been deaf man all his
life. Knowing of other cases in which
you have been equally successful, L
cheerfully give you leave to refer to me
at any time, and hope that your prac-
tice in Washington will prove distin-
guished success.
Yours, truly, T. E. RoEssLE.

IT SEEMS THERE are things in physi-
ology as well as in philosophy
that have not heretofore been
dreamed Of Miss Emily Harper of
Genesee County, n. Y, IS years of
age, pretty and fascinating, hasa power
of grip that is now interesting scien-
fists. 1t is described as something
wholly unexampled, Many illustra-
tons of her peculiar strength are given
in detail but the eliminating eXhibi-
tion came the other day when, being
rebuked by her mother for some slight
household misdemeanor, she said
Forgive and kiss me, mother" The
accompanying embrace was natural in
appearance, but disastrous in effect A
sudden crack was heard, and the
mother fell to the floor with three ribs
broken. Strength is good thing, but it
seems 10 be certainly true that there
may be too much even of good thing.
