The RIoomfield.zelsIer concert.

Madame Fannie Bloomfield-Zeisler's S piano recital takes place at the Jefferson theatre tomorrow night. All teachers and music lovers are greatly interested in this attraction, for the pianist ranks @s one of the most brilliant virtuosos in the world. She attracted large audience when she played here a few years ago, and being well remembered by concerts goers naturally leads the management to expect crowded house on the occasion of her return engagement It is usual for prices to be marked up when a famous performer is announced, but for Bloom ffeld-zeisler the regular theatre schedule has been adopted.

MT. Griffith recently wrote:--
 T highly appreciate your medicine. I'll say there is nothing in any other line of medicine that equals it, and I wish to say it emphatically, as I have tried many. Before I was elected Market Inspector, twenty years ago, I had neuralgia which pained me terribly diagonally across from my heart. The doctor told me 1t would be my death. Well when I was Market Inspector concluded I would give your medicine a trial and 1t benefited me so much that I continued with it. The neuralgia has been eradlcated from my system, and l attribute it all to the use of Duffys Pure Malt whiskey, which recommend to others"
