COMPOUND OXYGEN FOR Sickness and Debility.

GOLD CURE FOR Alcohol, Morphine, etc

For nearly a quarter of a century the firm of Drs. STARKEY & PALEN, of 1529 Arch street, Philadelphia, have dispensed Compound Oxygen Treat-

ment for chronic diseases and debility, with a most brilliant record of cures.

They have treated over 60,000 patients and in spite of opposition have forced the world to acknowledge the potency and usefulness of Compound Oxygen.

Over 1000 physicians have used it in their practice, and this number is being continually increased.

The original Compound Oxygen made by this firm is pure, comparatively de-

void of odor or taste, and one of the greatest of natural vitalizers, building up broken-down constitutions, supply-

ing nature's waste from disease, excesses or old age.

One of the beauties of using this treatment is that you take no medicine whatever, your system is not shocked by it, business or travel are not inter-

fered with, and treatment is actually a pleasure. You simply inhale the Compound Oxygen and get it directly into the circulation, where it will do the most good--where your system can ab-

sorb every atom of it without any objec-

tion being interposed by your digestion.

A book of 200 pages mailed free to any address tells all about it.

TESTIMONIALS.

Drs. Starkey & Palen, Philadelphia, Pa. About five years ago I was a broken-down man and a sick man, suffering with nervous prostration and lung trouble. To-day I am strong and rugged and doing heavy work every

day, and I owe my health and life to Compound Oxygen and your kind help and advice. During the interval of these five years, I have been re-

commending your treatment far and near, and by my advice and your treatment we have saved several lives and benefited others. R. W. Wheeler. Jasper, New York.

Drs. Starkey & Palen, Philadelphia, Pa. About a year ago I was suffering from overwork and consequent exhaustion. I used your Compound Oxygen Treatment with good results. I never had anything to clear up my head better and put me in better shape than your Compound Oxygen Treatment. Rev. R. A. Hunter. Irwin, Pa. Drs. Starkey & Palen, Philadelphia, Pa. My physician, who has treated me for five years, remarked to me several weeks ago that the Compound Oxygen had certainly done wonders for me. It has also relieved me of the dreadful spells I used to have. I firmly believe that I would have gone into consumption last winter, after I had pneumonia, if I had not taken the Compound Oxygen. I must say that I am in better health than ever before since I was a child, and all from your Compound Oxygen Treatment. I feel that I can never say half enough in its praise and of the great good it has done me.

Mrs. J. E. Wood. Marianna, Ark.

Drs. Starkey & Palen, Philadelphia, Pa. About two years ago I commenced using Compound Oxygen, as proposed by Drs. Starkey & Palen. I was suffering from throat and lung trouble, the left lung having had an abscess; and having tried all other remedies known to me, I was induced to try your remedy. It cured me permanently, and I rejoice that it was ever made known to me. It has done everything for me I could have asked. I have recommended it to several others, who have tried it and been benefited. I recommend it with the greatest confidence. Mrs. Rev. H. W. Kavanaugh. Frankfort, Ky.

Drs. Starkey & Palen, Philadelphia, Pa. My mother used your Compound Oxygen Treatment for Hay Fever; she has not been troubled with it since. Albert Gifford. Valley Falls, N. J.

Drs. Starkey & Palen, Philadelphia, Pa.

Compound Oxygen did me more good as a sufferer from Hay Fever than anything I had ever tried. Rev. J. L. Ticknor. Napton, Saline county, Md. Drs. Starkey & Palen, Philadelphia, Pa. It is now seven months since I received the first Treatment for my son's use, and he has not had symptoms of a return of the Asthma since taking the first dose. I take pleasure in recommending it to all my friends who are afflicted with any chronic disease. It seems to act like a charm on the diseases peculiar in this climate. Mrs. E. A. Porter. Sedgwick, Mo.

Drs. Starkey & Palen, Philadelphia, Pa. It is no secret that after coughing fully four months, and treating with the very best physicians, I obtained my first rest and help from the use of Compound Oxygen. Belle K. Adams. Cleveland, Ohio. Now that science has proved beyond a shadow of doubt that Intemperance or Dipsomania is a disease subject to the same natural laws that govern all diseases, susceptible to treatment, and as large a proportion of cases cured absolutely as with any other morbid condition of the system, we have added recently The National Gold Cure for Alcohol, Morphine, etc. This is at present the nearest of any known cure, advocated by leading temperance reformers, National W. C. T. U. officers, clergymen and physicians. Frances E. Willard says of it: "We are warmly friendly to this movement and believe it to be doing great good."

Such papers commend as Union Signal, W. C. T. U. organ; Watch Tower, Illinois State W. C. T. U. organ; Chicago Inter-Ocean and Chicago Herald, New York Evangelist. The Philadelphia Evening Star of February 8, 1893, says of it: "It is but a recent experiment in our city, but it can refer to as remarkable evidences of success as older institutions in other places. Those afflicted with an ungovernable appetite for liquor and really want to be cured, can by a few weeks' treatment have evidence of its power." Among our hearty co-workers are Bishop Fallows, Rev. Sa Small, Hon. Walter Thomas Mills, Hon. James R. Hobbs, Gen. S. R. Singleton, Mary Lathrop and others.

We have organized a Temperance Extension Fund to be used in treating cases who cannot pay for treatment, at greatly reduced rates, taking their obligations to repay the fund in easy installments, after being restored. By so doing we use the money over and over, curing

many cases with the same money. Money sent for this purpose enables the sender to name any one they please to be treated, thereby enabling them to see the direct result of their subscription. We cure over 90 per cent. of applicants, and they are as pleased as we are to be interviewed regarding it. Our cure is safe, swift and sure. We don't take whiskey from a man. We place it before him and defy him to drink and he begs us to take it away after a few days. We cure the disease upon scientific principles by taking away the appetite without impairing one at all or incurring any risk. Any subscription received will be placed to the credit of the Temperance Extension Fund and appropriately applied where most needed. DRS. STARKEY & PALEN, 1529 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pa. AT THE OLD TRYSTING PLACE. The dead leaves rustle at my feet, The moon is shining brightly; Something has softly dimmed my eyes. Across the path one shadow lies, The path two trod so lightly. It was upon a night like this Love left us only sorrow; I held her little hand in mine; That parting is to me divine. Then there was no tomorrow. Since I have learned life's lesson well Hearts are not easy broken. Tonight all joys I have forgot; There's something sacred in this spot, Where sweet goodbys were spoken. I'd feel less lonely with myself If I were broken hearted; Would I could live that night again, With all its sadness sweetened pain, When love from love was parted!--Lippincott's.

THE WARNING VOICE.

How different things might have looked, he thought, had he not gone to the bad years before! He had once been the prosperous owner of a fine, big farm himself, for the Daglishes had been yeomen and owners of their own land for generations back, but it had all gone, had all melted away to satisfy that un-

natural thirst which had taken posses-

sion of the last of the family. Martin's reflections, as the drink died out of him, were of a very sad and depressing character. He leaned his head on his hand and kept watching Nelly all the while. It was the only good and

beautiful trait left in him now, that he loved this girl passionately and to some extent unselfishly.

For her sake he had made several attempts to break the chain that bound

him, but the fascination was too powerful to be resisted. His blood was by this time little else than alcohol, and within his veins like cried out to like. Nevertheless a rush of tenderness still came over his soddened senses whenever she gave him a kind word or glance.

"Ye're not well, daddy," she said now in a gentle voice as she noticed that he ate no supper and looked sick and sorry. "Does your head ache very bad?"

Martin put up his trembling hand as though to stop her. "Dinna speak like that, Nelly, ma bairn. Tell me that Aw'm a shame and a disgrace to ye, and that the sooner Aw'm out o' the world the better for every one, but dinna pity me. Aw canna bide it." "Aw'll say nothing of the kind," retorted Nelly indignantly. "I would like well to see you get the better of drink for your own sake as well as mine, but Aw'll never wish you owt but good, never. Ye've been a kind feyther to me, any ways." "A kind feyther!" groaned the old shepherd. "Oh! Nelly, Nelly, ye break ma hairt wi' yer tenderness. Do ye not wish me deid, then?" For answer Nelly came across to where he sat, put her soft, loving arms around his neck and kissed the poor bleared, drink sodden face over and over again. Many a time afterward did the mem-

ory of those kisses rise to the girl's mind and comfort her inexpressibly.

* * * * * * Before daybreak the clouds had resolved themselves into a storm of snow, the most penetrating and persistent that had been known, even in that bleak district, for many years.

Long ere dawn Martin Daglish was up and away over the fells to look after the outlying flocks in his charge.

On these extensive border farms, where the grazing land is composed both of valley and fell, and where the sheep travel miles away from any place of safe shelter and refuge, the utmost precautions are necessary in rough seasons to prevent the flocks from perishing from cold or being engulfed in a living grave of snowdrifts. In the hollows these same drifts form to an alarming depth, and many a fleecy clad carcass lies buried beneath every considerable fall of snow, unless the greatest care is taken to prevent such catastrophes. Martin was a good man and a careful shepherd, and in spite of his failing was never known to neglect the safety of his sheep. But on this morning as he crossed the moors in the face of that blinding storm he recognized the fact that it would take him all his time to prevent many of them from perishing in this storm. The other shepherds were off, also, in different directions, but the district under Martin's special charge was the most remote and the one soonest in danger, because it lay in a situation that exposed it to the inclemency of the weather. The snow came down in that fine, powdery, impalpable sort of fashion which denotes a protracted and heavy fall, and it was all that Martin could do to keep to the track. Had he not been the most experienced and weatherwise of pedestrians he must have inevitably been lost at once.

The snow glued his eyelids together, penetrated his clothing and froze upon

his face. Even his dog Rover, a collie of great sagacity and experience, required some encouragement to induce him to face the storm, and every now and again he whined and drew closer to his master's heels, as though protesting against the cruelty of nature. Long before they reached the place where the last flock of sheep were huddled helplessly together awaiting in stupid resignation their doom both man and dog were about spent. But at sight of the silly, frightened sheep Rover gave a joyous bark and bounded forward at once, true to his instinct and training. With the stupidity of their kind the creatures had chosen the very worst spot they could have selected wherein to abide during the severity of the storm. The wind whirled and eddied up a narrow gorge and laid great wreaths of snow all about their woolly sides.

Martin knew that if they could be once driven around to the other side of the hill, where the wind would keep the ground comparatively free from snow and where there was also some shelter to be obtained from a hemel and a roughly constructed foldyard, fenced round with stone walls, there would be little to dread, and they could be looked after and fed, until the severity of the storm was passed. But it required considerable determination to make the creatures move at all, and still more to do so in the teeth of the cutting wind. The cold had benumbed them and rendered them almost torpid. Rover's approach, however, roused them to a faint display of animation and he began proceedings at once by running around and biting, or pretending to bite, the laggards, barking all the while as loudly as his strength would allow. After a minute or two they began to move in the direction indicated to the dog by his master, and very slowly, but surely, they were gradually led away from their dangerous situation into safety. It took a long time for them to reach the other side of the hill and to find the part fenced in by the roughly built and mortarless stone walls and the hurdles, stuffed with ragged furze, but the difficult task was accomplished at length, and every sheep and yearling lamb was folded safe.

Martin, the shepherd, gave a great sigh of relief as the last bleating straggler

passed through the gap, and he placed a hurdle across it to prevent their egress, but he acknowledged to himself that a few minutes longer and they would inevitably have mastered him. He was faint from lack of food. Since the noon of the previous day not a morsel had passed his lips, for he had loathed the sight of victuals after his debauch and had left home in such haste that morning that he had no time to break his fast, even though Nelly insisted upon getting up and lighting the fire and boiling the kettle. He had swallowed a drink of tea, but nothing more. Now he bitterly regretted his own folly as the strain told upon his exhausted vitality. It was over now, however, and the sheep were safe. There was a store of hay stacked in the inclosure ready for such emergencies as the present one, and Martin proceeded to the lighter labor of feeding his flock. By the time this was accomplished the little daylight there had been that day had entirely failed, and a thick murky darkness reigned everywhere, although it was only about 2 o'clock. When Martin and his dog set out on their homeward journey, the former had almost to grope his way out of the inclosure, and only the instinct of Rover kept him on the right path. The snow was coming down softly, but pitilessly, wrapping everything in a white and rapidly thickening sheet and fast obliterating every familiar landmark. On an ordinary occasion the old shepherd could have found his way home blindfolded, so well acquainted was he with every foot of the road. But his strength had utterly deserted him, and every step he now took was with a great and increasing effort. The cold appeared to grip his heart as with a hand of iron and to arrest his laboring breath. At last he stumbled and fell at the foot of a great bowlder. He could go no farther. Nature had completely given out. Then all at once he remembered that if this drowsy slumber which was coming on did creep over his senses he was certainly done for. Ah, yes! But he had that in his breast pocket that would give him new life. Yes, it was all right. He had not forgotten it. His heavy eyes lighted up with a momentary gleam of pleasure as he drew out a flat bottle containing perhaps a gill of raw whiskey.

Nobody could blame him for taking it now. He would do it to save his life--only for that. Without some fresh access of strength and energy he would not be able to move hand or limb. The lethargic condition was gaining upon him, and resistance was scarcely possible unless the fiery spirit should stimulate his vitality. Come, there was some good in the stuff yet if it saved a man's life! Accordingly he drew out the cork of the bottle with his teeth, and the strong odor rose gratefully to his nostrils. He had a right to it this time.

Suddenly a voice appeared to come out of the darkness and the storm--a voice

that made him pause in the very act of drinking:

"What good is his life? It doesn't benefit one living creature--not even himself!"

He trembled with more than cold, and his hand fell from his mouth. Who said that? God or the devil?

Whoever said it, it was true--fatally, miserably true! A great horror of himself and a loathing of the life he was about to try and preserve, an infinite pity and tenderness for the girl whose young existence had been blighted through his shameful fault--all this came to him at that moment. Like an overwhelming wave swept the accumulated misery and disgrace and remorse of years over the soul of the poor drunk-

ard. Then a sudden access of fury seized upon him, and with the last feeble remnant of his strength he threw the bottle away. It rolled down the side of the fell and buried itself fathoms deep in a snowdrift at the foot. The sheep were safe, and Martin the shepherd slept.--Gentleman's Magazine.

Ships arriving in home ports after lengthy voyages are always besieged by the runners or agents of the various seamen's outfitters of the place. The competition is so keen among these people that they often undertake to supply on credit a certain amount of clothing to the seamen, to be paid for on the discharge of the crew, which event in some cases does not take place till a few days after arrival. Should an outfitter succeed in effecting a good sale on these conditions, he arranges for a watch to be kept upon the parties to whom he has given credit, but notwithstanding this precaution he sometimes finds before pay day that his vigilance has been outwitted by the vanishing propensities of his slippery customers. Without attempting to justify such acts of dishonesty on the part of the seamen, it must in fairness to him be stated that mean advantage is often taken of his circumstances (such, for instance, as arriving in port without presentable clothing in which to go ashore) to charge extortionate prices for the articles supplied under the foregoing conditions, and that it is often alone in the knowledge of this fact which suggests the attempt to evade payment.--London Tit-Bits. Not Flattery. The candidate for congress had been making a speech in one of the towns of his district where he was not well known personally, and in the evening while waiting for a train he strayed into a butcher shop, and without saying who he was began to pump the butcher to

find out how he stood. "Did you hear that speech this afternoon?" he inquired after some general talk. "Yes," replied the butcher, "I was there." "What did you think of it?" "Pshaw," said the honest butcher, "I've made a better speech than that a hundred times trying to sell 15 cents' worth of soup bone." The candidate concealed his identity.--Detroit Free Press. Street Trees. T. Greiner gives a list of trees which he thinks are best adapted for planting along the borders of streets. He places the silver maple first on the list for fulfilling all the conditions required. In rich soil its growth is often too rank. The white elm comes next in popular favor for its tall growth, lofty head and wide sweep of branches. The sugar maple is extensively planted in the north and is better suited to dry situations than the elms or other maples. The common horse chestnut is largely planted in northern towns. We would add to this list the black birch for its freedom from insects, and the black maple is superior to the sugar maple for the richness of its foliage, says The Country Gentleman.
