TO CURE CONSUMPTION
AND ALL LUNG
TROUBLES.
Nothing could be fairer, more phil
anthropic or carry more joy to the af-
hicted, than the offer of T. A. Slocum,
NJ, c., of New York City.
Confident that he has discovered a
reliable cure for consumption and all
bronchial, throat and lung diseases,
general decline and weakness, loss of
flesh and conditions of wasting, and
to make its great merits known, he
will send, free, three bottles to any
reader of The Enterprise, who may be
suffering.
Already this "new scientific course
of medicine" has permanently cured
thousands of apparently hopeless
cases.
The Doctor considers it his relig-
ious duty-a duty which he owes to
humanity-to donate his infallible
cure.
He has proved the dreaded consump-
ton to be curable disease beyond
any doubt, and has on file in his
American and European laboratories
testimonials of experience from those
benefited and cured, in all parts of
the world.
Don't delay until it is too late. Con-
sumption, uninterrupted, means
speedy and certain death. Address T.
A. Slocum, M. c., 98 Pine street, New
York, and when writing the Doctor
give express and postoffice address,
and please mention reading this arti-
Gle in the Enterprise.

Col. Hay s. residence, with coschman and
two footmen in the royal scarlet livery, to
convey Col. and Mrs Hay to Paddington
station. At the station they were met by
the marquis Of Salisbury and the master Of
ceremonies, Sir James Colville who accom-
panied them to Windsor. At the Windsor
railroadI station Col. and Mrs. Hay found a
royal carriage in waiting to convey them to
the castle, where, luncheon was served.
Col. Hay first had an audience with the
marquis Of Salisbury and then presented
his credentials to her majesty. The audi
ence was brief and formal, but the queen
was specially gracious and exchanged with
the AMBASSADOR mutual expressions of good
will and amity between both nations. Mrs.
Hay was then received in audience by the
queen, being presented by the countess Of
Enroll, the lady in waiting. AS the wife of
an ambassador, Mrs. Hay took precedence
over the Portuguese and Chinese minister's
