Bslnloral Choir.

The Balmoral Choir will be at the
Academy of Music next Monday evening
The Dramatic News says of this choir
There is only one simon-pure Scotch
choir travelling in America this season,
and that is Bruce & Pa .rick's Bal
moral Choir. The success of the Bal
moral last year has, as usual IN such
cases, led to imitation and several or
carnations are now trying to win popu-
lRrity on the line laid down by Bruce
& Patrick. These so called Scotch
choirs are made up of singers of various
nationalities, many simply amateurs.
These organizations do not sing Scotch
music they simply csricature it.

4 New Method Of Treating Disease.
HOSPITAL REMEDIES.

What are they? There is new de-
parture in the treatment of disease. It
consists in the collection of the specifics
used by noted specialists of Europe and
America, and bringing them within the
reach of all. For instance the treatment
pursued by special physicians who treat
Indigestion, stomach ard liver troubles
only, was obtained and prepared. The
treatment ofother physicians, celebrated
for curing catarrh was procured, and SO
on till these Incompatible cures now in
clude disease of the lungs, kidneys, female
weakness, rheumatism and nervous Gebil-
ity.
This new method of zone remedy for
one disease" must appeal 10 the common
sense of all sufferers, many of whom have
experienced the i'll effects, and thorough
ly realize the absurnity of the claims of
Patent Medicines which are guaranteed
to cure every i'll out of single bottle,
and the use of which. as stati Tics prove,
has ruined more stomachs than alcohol.
A circular describing these new remedies
is sent free on receipt of stamps to pay
postage by Hospital Remedy Company
Toronto, Canada, sole proprietors. Re-
liable agents wanted.
