TREATMENT BY INHALATION! 1529 Arch St., Philad'a, Pa. For Consumption, Asthama, Bronchitis, Dyspepsia, Catarrh, Hay Fever, Headache, Debility, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, And all Chronic and Nervous Disorders. It has been in use for nearly a quarter of a century. Thousands of patients have been treated, and more than 1000 physicians have used it and recommended it. It is agreeable. There is no nauseous taste, nor aftertaste, nor sickening smell. We give below a few of the great number of testimoninals which we are constantly receiving from those who have tried it, published with the express permission in writing of the patients. "Please accept my sincere gratitude for the restored life of happiness and health and vigor and usefulness that the Compound Oxygen has certainly given me. "While I was always considered a healthy child, I was known to be dyspeptic from baby- hood. It was inherited. For two years I was confined almost constantly to the lounge. For more than four years I did not know a moment free from pain. All this time dyspepsia continued is ravages, except when temporarily relieved, and aggravated other serious disorders. My friends and physicians thought I would not recover. To-day I am entirely cured of dys- pepsia, can enjoy articles of food that I never dared use before in all my life. For the past year I have been up and going in ease and health, with sufficient vigor to take some part in domes- tic work of the most laborious nature. As my strength continues to improve, since leaving off Oxygen, I feel that I can conscientiously recommend the treatment, not only to cure (provided the doctors' directions are observed), but to be lasting in its beneficial effects. "MISS JAMIE MAGRUDER, "Oak Hill, Florida." "The Oxygen Treatment you sent me for C. O. Harris, a year ago, one of my missionaries from West Africa, whose life was in jeopardy on account of lung trouble and a severe cough, he now testifies has greatly benefited him. He has entirely recovered his health, married a wife, returned to his work in Africa, and taken his wife with him. Bishop WILLIAM TAYLOR, 150 Fifth Avenue, New York, N. Y. "Compound Oxygen.. Its Mode of Action and Results" is the title of a book of 200 pages published by Drs. Starkey & Palen, which gives to all inquirers full information as to this remarkable curative agent, and a record of surprising cures in a wide range of cases--many of them after being abandoned to die by other physicians. Will be mailed free to any address on application. Drs. STARKEY & PALEN, 1529 Arch St., Philadelphia, Pa. 120 Sutter St., San Francisco, Cal. Please mention this paper.

MYSTERY OF THE GREAT RUBY. By LUCIE ST. DEANE. [Copyright 1895 by American Press Association.] [CONTINUED.] CHAPTER III. Having established the genuineness of the great ruby, another duty was before me--the finding of a purchaser. The conviction that there was something wrong behind the whole business--that, in other words, Darius C. Howard was one of those brilliant criminals who are continually pitting their brains against the law and generally winning--was fixed in my mind. It was incredible that he should have brought such a priceless gem thousands of miles across land and ocean, passing by more inviting markets on the road, and then placed it in my hands at an absurdly low price. He must have had some all powerful reason for this extraordinary step. There was no ground for fearing that I would become implicated in the dark work. What I had done was wholly regular, and my standing could not be imperiled by anything that he or any one else could do. I gave up the idea of negotiating the sale through some of our correspondents in Europe, not that I feared I would not secure a princely price, but because of the annoying complications that were sure to follow. "You may speculate for days and weeks," remarked my friend Carl Wittner after he had made his report of what he had learned about my caller, "and the chances are that you will be further from the truth than at first. There is one point where you can stand upon safe ground." "Where's that?" "At the beginning. Thus we know that a gem worth several fortunes has been placed in your custody by a man who is registered at the Astor House as Darius C. Howard from London. He has told you an interesting story of how he found it on the spot where the late lamented Nana Sahib crossed the great divide, and--well, that is all we know

about it."
