TREATMENT BY
INHALATION
1920 Arch ST., Philadelphia, Pa.

Il
For Consumption, Asthma Bronchitis, Dyspepsia,
Catarrh, Hay Fever, Headache Debility, Rheu-
matism, Neuralgia and all Chronic and Nervous
Disorders.
The original and only genuien Compound Oxy-
gen Treatment that of Drs. Starkey Il Palen, is a
scientific adjus tment Of the elements of Oxygen
and Nitrogen magnetized; and the compounds 30
condensed and made portable that it is senall Cve1
he world.
m**
1t has been in use for more than twenty years
thousands of patients have been treated, and over
one thousand physicians have used it,--a very sig
nihCant fact. #**
1t does not act as most drugs do, by creating an
other aiment, and benettting one organ at the ex-
pense OF another often requiring second course tC
eradicate the evil effects of the first but Compound
Oxygen is reyitaizing, renewing, strengthening,
invigorating the whole body.
Nv
These statements are confirmed by numerous tes-
timOnals, published in our book of 200 pages, only
with the express permission of the patients; Their
names and addresses are given, and you can refer
to them for farther information.
wv
The great success of our treatment has given rise
to host Of imitators, INSCRIPTIONS persons; some
calling their preparations Compound Oxygen, often
appropriating our testimonials and the names of
our patients, to recommend worthless concoctions
But any substance made elsewhere or by others,
and called Compound Oxygen, Is spurious.
AT#
"Comp0und OGygen-Its Mode of Action and
Resalts,' il the title of new book of 200 pages,
published by Drs. Starkey & Palen, which gives to
all inquirers full information as to this remarkable
curative agent and record of surprising cures in
wide range of chronic cases-many ofthem after
being abandoned to die by other physicians. Will
be mai ,eo free to any address on application.

A reproduction of Independence
Hall is now proposed as Pennsylvania's
building at the exposition. Prizes of
ST. 900, $500 and $500 have been offered
for the best plans for state building,
but it is thought the state commission
will seriously consider rejecting them
all and reproducing independence
Hall instead.

SOME people are disposed to criticise
Representative Mills because of his re-
cent Ohio speech, which took the
ground that the tariff is the supreme
issue in the contest between the repub-
lican and democratic parties and that
all other issues are secondary, but no
good democrat should do so. Mr.. Mills
is right The tariff is the one issue
upon which there is no division in the
democratic ranks and for that reason
if for no other, it must be kept at the
front. Let US get possession OF al
branches of the Government first, thef
we can take up and settle inside The
party ali the other questions.

IT looks very much as if the Blaine
boom was being manipulated solely
to keep other possible competitors OFF
the track in order that Mr.. Harrison
may get all the necessary wires lald
for a denomination. When this be-
comes certain look out for mutiny III
the republican camp, but it will be too
late, unless all present signs are at
fault, to prevent the consumation OF
Mr.. Harrison's designs. We would
much prefer Mr. Harrison as the re-
publican candidate as he represents
everything that is most vicious in the
republican cread more fully than any
other one man in that party. and will
therefore be the easiest man to defeat.

\ Reply to the Statement of the Herald
Publishing Company.

DECEMBER 10, 1891.
To THE PUBLIC: Although | do not
suppose fifty people read the article
signed by the Herald management in
that paper this morning. | would like
to have that few number know that the
whole article is 4 tissue Of misrepre-
sensations. Mr.. Camper tried to impose
upon the ignorance that most people
have of the process of law when he tried
to pay the men their wages. He knew
that warrant had been sworn out
against him, and that if the men ac-
cepted their money from his hands they
would each of them relieve him of tho
liability for costs in the suit against
him. And then he did not offer the two
men he succeeded in paying the
full amount of their claim
against him, balance still
being due them. The other printers
who had claim against him were sharp
enough not to be caught by him again.
His argument is one without good foun-
dation. He has had eight separate op-
portunitieS to settle these claims with
out being brought into court, and he has
each time put our representatives of
with promise TO pay next day, and
with strict regularity breaking each
promise made. 1t may be proper to
state that the suit by the printers
against Camper resulted in a Judgment
for the whole amount claimed. and even
i'll open court he was given another
chance to pay toe money before the
Judgment was rendered. the printers in
spirit of liberaiity Offering TO pay the
costs. But he could not even at that
late hour settle the just claims against
him.
| leave the question of his fairness to
the public OF Roanoke.
