OXFORD PROPRIETOR
A GENIAL HOST
One of the Oldest Hotel Men in the
Nations Capital-A Native
of Delaware.

Colonel Burton. the genial host of the
Hotel oxford. while not one OF the old
est men in Washington. is certainly one
of the oldest in hotel experience. He Is
"a native OF Delaware and comes from
an old family. one long noted for its in
tellieence and social standing. His
brother. DR.. II r Burton. OF Lewes,
Del. is Congressman-at-la from that
State. and resides al the oxford during
the sessions He is "a most genial
gentleman and the State may be con-
graduated on securing his services TO
represent its interests.
The colonel commenced his career in
the hotel line in 1864 at the old Ma
tional Hotel. Sixth street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue. He. continued in this
hotel from 1861 10 1906 a period OF
about thirty-siX years But his eXper-
ience has not been wholly confined TO
this hotel and city. by any means. He
has had popular houses at noted sum
mer resorts and ether cities. and these
have included Phfs delphia. Cape Nav

And what q variety or people the

Court and bench, ambassadors. in fact
nearly every person in the civilized
world who can lay reasonable claim to
distinction has been his guest at some
time
OF course the old National was a
Washington landmark for many years.
and here Colonel Burton has seen them
all come and go.
Among the interesting events Of his
life he, of course. goes back TO the times

generally employed and yet so harmful,
in the long run, to most invalids when
its use is long continued, even in small
doses, cost DIR. Pierce several years of
careful study and labor, with the aid OF
skilled pharmacists and chemists to
assist him. Naturally, he does not care
TO give away his scientific and exact
processes for preparing these medicines,
but he does want to deal in the most
open manner with all his patrons and
patients, and under this frank, open and
honest way of dealing, they may know
exactly what they are taking when using
his medicines.
What Do They Cure2 This ques-
ton is often asked concerning DIR.
Pierce's two leading medicines, Golden
Medical Discovery and vFavorite Pre-
scription."
The answer is that "Golden Medical
Discovery" is most potent Alternative
or blood-purifier, and tonic or invigor-
ator and acts especially favorably in a
curative and healing way upon all the
mucous lining surfaces as of the nasal
passages, throat, bronchial tubes, stom-
ach bowels and bladder, curing q large
per cent. OF catarrhal cases'whether the
disease affects the nasal passages, the
throat, larynX, bronchia, stomach las
catarrhal dyspepsia) bowels Gas mucous
diarrhea), bladder, uterus or other
pelvic organs. Even in the chronic or
ulcerative stages of these affections, it
is often successful in effecting cures.
The "Favorte Prescription is advised
for the cure of one class of diseases only
those peculiar weaknesses, derange-
ments and irregularities incident to
women. 1t is powerful yet gem
tly acting invigorating tonic and
strengthening nervine. For weak worn
out, over-worked women-no matter
what has caused the breakdown, VA
vorite Prescription will be found most
effective. in building up the strength,
regulating the womanly functions, sub
DUNG pain and bringing about healthy,
vigorous condition of the whole system.
Women suffering from diseases of long
standing, are invited TO consult Doctor
Pierce by letter, free. All correspond
ence is held as strictly private and
