 field, Mass:
 Gentlemen-You have done for me what none of the doctors here have done. They told me I should never get any better. My sufferngs date back from June, 1894; was taken with bad pains in my back, which later spread over my hips and ran down both legs. After about three months the pains left my right leg, but got worse in my back and left leg
 At the time I was taken sick I went to doctor and he said 1t was lumbago and sci atica. He treated me for three months with no benefit l went to another doctor He did me no good. l then thought l would try electricity, and went to n pro ] lessor, but got worse, if anything. l also took massage. but that also failed to afford me any relief Later l went to a vege- tartan doctor and was treated by him for two months. Why, you could almost see through me by this time without an X ray. I then got so bad l had to go on he could not do much for me and advised me to go to the Rhode Island hospital, and l l went there on April b, 1895. and staid 1 just one month. They told me they could do nothing for me, so l came home again, and later tried two more doctors with the same old story, You will never get any better as long as you live" 1 said I would try one more so sent for another doctor,

KNETSEL 0U4RTET LAST NIGHT.

The first concert by the Kneisel quar- | t in the tenth seasons course was givt.n at the Yale music hall last even- i1.s. The audience was probably some what smaller than it would have been if the night had been pleasant. How ever, even so, the audience was much less in numbers than the occasion de- served. Since the Boston Symphony orchestra has given up its annual course in this city the Kneisel concerts have become the most important series that we have, and every music lover should appreciate the fact.
 The program last evening contained two old and familiar favorites and one new number. It opened with the beau tiful G major quartet from Beethoven's opus IS. It closed with the well-belov ed D major, opus GA, number five, from Haydn's almost infinite series of lovely works in this form. Both of these were played as this organization alone can play them. It is the perfection of clas- sical interpretation. The novelty was one of two new string quartets which Anton Dvorak completed last sum- mer and which have just been publish
 ed in Berlin. This quartet, which is in A flat major, was given to MT. Kneisel for its first performance, and it has been played but once or twice before in this country. The other quartet in G major, we believe, has also been receiv- ed and will be played in this city later in the course. This new opus 105, al though not the best composing Dvoral1 has done in this form, is undoubtedly finer than its predecessor, the Ameri- can opus. with the F major quartet, which was played in this city last year. Of the X flat major, the second move ment seems the most genuinely inspir- ed, and is characteristiCally Bohemian in rythm The slow movement, al- though containing g great deal of love ly musical writing. is a little prolix and lacks variety of key. The first move ment is very modern in form and treat ment and promised much. but was a little hard to follow on. a first hearing,

The city of New Haven has felt the blessings of Dr. Frost's Remedies the past two weeks in no uncertain way.

 ReMRhRs Ara MQlderflI

Dr. Charles G. Mcknight of 20 Highland Street, Providence, one of the most noted physicians in Rhode Island.
 Dr. Mcknight has practiced medicine 47 years He is a graduate from the College of Physicians and Surgeons, and the New York University, class of 1S4S-9 His skill was recognized by the United States Gov ernment, who appointed him Surgeon of the Board of Enrolment during the war in which capacity he examined over 5000 men. He was, also, appointed United States Med ical Examiner of Pensions, and in his younger days enjoyed a private practice in Providence exceeding 12,000 year.
 Having suffered for years from rheu- matism, he exhausted his own skill with not the best results. Although prejudced against preparations sold by druggists, yet so convincing were the marvellous cures of Dr. Frost's Remedies that he tried them, and found, to his surprise, an immediate gain. Further investigation into the Frost system convinced him that the most valu- able contribution to new life and health was now within reach of all, and laying aside professional pride, he felt it duty to in dorse the work of Dr. Frost, who is doing so much to banish disease and bring health and new life to millions of hOmes

eyed, unless you are the one person
out of every fifteen who has eyes Of
equal strength. You also belong to
the same minority of one out of every
ten persons if your left eye is stronger
than your right. As rule just as
people are ght.handed, they are
right-eyed.
This is probably due to the gener-
ally great use of the organs OF the
right side of the body, as, for exam
pie, a sportsman, using his right arm
and shoulder, uses his right eye to
sight his gun, thereby strengthening
it with exercise.
Old sea captains, after long use OF
the telescope, find their right eye
much stronger than the left. This
law Is confirmed by the experience OF
aurists. If q person who has ears OF
equal hearing has cause to use one
ear more than the other for long
period, the ear brought into requisi-
tion is found to be much strengthened,
and the ear which is not used loses its
hearing in corresponding degree.
