GREAT VIOLIN MAKER DEAD.
John Albert, Who Was First TO A,

Philadelphia Record: One of the
worlds most famous violin makers.
John Albert, of this city, died at his
home, No. 1874 South Ninth street, on
New Years day, and was buried in
West Laurel Hill cemetery. Born in
Liel, Germany, on June "a, 1909, the
son of a wagonmaker, he early evinced
n rare talent for music, and was
placed under the best available in
structor on the violin. There was diff
ficulty in obtaining a suitable instru-
mcnt for the young pupil, and one day
he surprised his teacher by coming
for a lesson with a violin made by
himself beneath his avn. Mr.. Albert
came to Philadelphia in the COS, and
began violin making in a little shop
at Third and Green streets, where sub
gequently he discovered that Amer
lean spruce and silver maple were SUI
perior to Italian and German timber
for use in v~iolins; and since then Ole
Bull, Adelina Patti, Signor Nicolini,
Wilhelmj, Remenyi and other eminent
musicians have approved his Judgment
and his work.
A singular coincidence about his
death was that he had said to his
family some time ago that he would
die between the hours of 10 and II on
the first day of January. He died at.
10 o'clock.

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civil
lied world. Your mothers and grand"
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean opt the
system and stop fermentation OF undi-
gested food, regulate the action Of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and organic
action of the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need few doses of Green's
