A Few Facts.

A remedy has been found which
cures chronic diseases: not in every
case, but in large percentage Of
them. And in cases too far gone
for cure, it affords relief and often
prolongs life. many VINO nave
been given over by physicians have
been prevailed upon by friends to
try this remedy, the Compound
Oxygen Treatment of Drs. Starkey
& Palen, of Philadelphia, and are
now living to testify to it's curative
powers. 1t has been successful in
curing many cases of catarrb, ma
larial fever, hay fever, asthma
bronchitis, neuralgia, nervous pros
tration, and other chronic diseases.
In these diseases physicians have
had little success, as the name they
have given to this class Of disorders
indicates, but Compound Oxygen
has worked wonders.
There is only one genuine COM
pound Oxygen, and any substance
made elsewhere or by others than
Drs. Starkey and Palen, is spurious.
Avoid limitations.

wonderful remedy, send for our
book of 200 pages, sent free, with
testimonials and records

New York chamber of commerce would

past has shared the interest of the
Rockefeller family in foreign missions
and Sunday school work. To offset
this rumor is the recent assertion of
Mrs. John d. Rockefeller that neither
of her two unmarried daughters is en-
gagged To be married. But as such an
assertion is made as a matter OF course
with every newly-ennOunced engage
ment Of a prominent young lady 1t does
not count for much.

made this announcement TO them. and
both the young ladies heartily concur
in 1t. They agree with their father
that such an enormous fortune is abso-
lutely useless to them, and this family
arrangement is well understood in the
Rockefeller circle. The millions are to
go to a few great institutions, and it is
even stated that the Croesus has In
