They cannot, of course, know its real value until they shall have tried it. Yet if these same persons should take the trouble to look around them and compare the extent of their business with that of persistant and extensive advertisers, they’ might upon reflection, see the uselessness of trying to keep pace with the onward march of trade without publicity. Good advertising brings patronage and w ealth.

The diseases influenced by a hearty laugh are numerous and range from bronchitis to anaemia. It will be interesting to see how the treatment is effected. A course of farcial comedies might suit an anaemic patient; while puns, fired off at intervals, would be found efficacious in cases of pleurisy. Greensburg, Pa., July 11, 1898. About four years ago one side of my abdomen began to enlarge from a growth inside. It grew to such proportions that it seemed to fill the abdomen.
