The daughters of James Strathern
have purchased for his use Crosby In
valid Bed, a wonderful invention for

transferred to the invalid bed last week

an uninterrupted sleep of four hours
something he has not experienced in al

mis- faithful nurse and attendant, his
daughter Rebecca, have been materially
lightened by the use of this bed, and
the bed itself is source of the greatest
comfort to him for whom it was bought
A. w. Bosworth, Jr., has very kindly
contributed further to Mr.. Stratherni
comfort and convenience by presenting
him with combined bookholder an(
table, another great invention for bed
ridden person. This and the bed will
make life much more endurable for TIN
