Treatment by Inhalation
l51a kreh ST.. PhiIadeIphia, Pa,

For Consumption, ASthmG, Bronchitis, Uyspep-
sic. Cdtar1A, Hay Ferer, Headache, Debility,
rheumatism, Neuralgia, and all Chronic and
Nervous Disorders.
The original and only genuine COMPOUND
Oxygen Treatment, that of DIS. Starkey &
Palen, is q scientific adjustment OF the ele-
ments of Oxygen and Nitrogen naa9nea'zed;
and the compound IS so condensed and
made portable that it is sent all over tue
world.
It has been IN use for more than twenty
years; thousands of patients have been treat
ed, and over one thousand physicians have
used it, and recommend it--a very slgnlh-
cant fact.
It does not act as most drugs do, by Gre
atiug another ailmeut, and beEehtbng one
! organ nt the expense Of another, often re,
0nir;ng a second course to eradicate the evil
etf. cts Of the first, but Compound Oxygen Is
rcv:taizeT, renewing. Strengthening H.
vigoratiae the whole body.
These statements are confirmed by nn'
mcraas testimonials, published in onr book
of 200 races, only with the express permlS-
sion Of tie patients; their names and adj
dresses are given, and you can refer to them
for further information.
The great success of our Treatment has
oivcn rise 10 a host of imitatorS, unscrupu-
Ions persons; some calling their prepara'
tons Compound Oxygen, cften appropriate
ing our testimonials and the names OF our
patients, TO recommend worthless concoc-
tons. But any substance made elsewhere
or by others, and called Compound Oxygen,
is spurious.
"ConpourM Oryyen-Ns Mode Of Action ana ma
Resuus'' is the title Of new book: OF 2CU
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 of them after being
abandoned to die by other physicians. VIII

MOS MuII0N'S RIDE

MRS. MILLION 5 RIDE.
When Mrs Million goes to ride, she travels
forth in state.
Her horses. full of fire and pride, go pranc-
ing from the gate;
But all tic beauties of the day she views
with languid eye,
Her flesh in weakness wastes away her voice
is but Il sigh.
For Mrs. Million is in an advanced stage
of catarrh, and all the luxuries that wealth
can buy fail to give her comfort. She en-.
vies her rosy waiting-maid. and would give
all her riches for that yonug woman's pare
breath and blooming health. Now. if some
troe and disintereStcd friend would advise
Mrs. Million Of the wonderful merits of DR..
Sages catarrh remedy, she would learn that
her case is not past help. $500 reward Is
offered by the manufacturers for a case OF
catarrh in the head which they cannot cure.

Mrs. Anne Charlotte Botta.

The New York Tribune of Tuesday
says:
MRS. Anne Charlotte Botta, wife of
Professor VincenzO Botta, died yester-
day at her home in this city, from pneu.
mOnia, complicated with heart trouble.
after an illness of three days.
Mrs. Botta was one of the most in
teresting figures in the literary life of
the city, and her receptions at her home
have always been attended by people
noted in art, science, music and letters.
Her maiden name was Anne Charlotte
Lynch, and she was born in Bennington,
VT, in 1920. Her father was a native of
Dublin, ireland, and came to this coun-
try an exile, on account of political
troubles. His daughter was educated in
Albany, and at an early age gave indica-
tions Of literary talent, and wrote for
several periodicals. In 1855 she mar
ried Professor VincenzO Botta. who at
that time filled the chair of Italian Ian
guage and literature in the University of
the City of New York. During the
Franco Prussian War an effort was made
in this city to collect funds for the suf-
ferng women and children of Paris.
Mrs. Botta prepared as her contribution
an album of photographs, autographs
and original sketches by ARTISTS which
was sold for $1,000. Mrs. Botta's liter
airy style is described as musical 'ele-
CANT and finished Among her best
poems are Paul at Athens webster
Books and Wasted Fountains Her
sOnnets are especially successful, and are
recognized as notable contributions in
any collection of representative Ameri-
can sonnets. Especially noteworthy is
Mrs. BOttas sonnet Vita Nuova,' begin
ming, Though | recall no word, no
glance, no Tone Besides her poetical
works, Mrs. BOtta has published MANY
magazine articles, stories and criticisms.
and Handbook Of Universal Litera-
ture,' which has been adapted as text
book in many educational institutions.
Up to the time of her illness, she was
engaged in compiling handbook of
universal history, especially designed for
young people, with the purpose of Civ
ing a generalhistory of all nations up to
the present time.
1.-THE artistic side of Mrs. Botta's
character was strongly developed and
she exhibited skill in sculpture, in which
she was deeply interested. But it was
as a hostess at her charming home that
her splendid qualities were shown to
their best advantage, and here her fine
conversational gifts, her graciousness of
manner and her rare courtesy made her
hospitality doubly gracious and delight
full. She was actively interested in
every effort put forth to elevate the con-
dition of her sex, and her services in
charitable and educational affairs were
always in demand and were always
freely given.n Mrs. Botta was born at
the "Oid Catamount Tavern" then the
residence of the Hon. David Fay. Her
mother was sister of Mrs. Fay and of
Mrs. Jerusha, mother of Gov. John L..
Robinson, and was second cousin of Mrs.
Gov John S. Robinson. Her father,
Patrick Lynch, was formerly merchant
in this town, one of the firm of Trenor
& Lynch, and was an Irish gentleman of
the old school and left Ireland for rea-
sons stated above.

The strongest, boldest. that secure
The diadem Of all most worth,
A crown That shall endure.
Some tinid child Of God, made strong,
Through love aud faith, TO do his viii,
Tolls upward. though the way be long,
To reach the summit OF the hill.
And, gathering sheaves along the way,
With smile and tear. both sad and sweet
Walks through the COLLEEN gates OF day,
And lays them a. His feet.

Out through lifp'S ihly prison bars,
Into ete-n,l day at last,
Wears he's bright crown of stars.
