Like other weeds it's easily destroyed while young; when old, sometimes impossible. Strengthen the lungs as you WOlllH wonlr 1-m/l n-wl < wcccls will disappear. The best lung fertilizer is Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork i > good too, but it is very hard to digest. The time to treat consumption is when you begin trying to hide it from yourself. Others sec it, you won't. Don't wait^until you can't deceive yourself any longer. Begin with the first thought to take Scott's Emulsion. If it isn't really consumption so much the better; you will soon forget it and be better for the treatment. If it is consumption you can't expect to be cured at once, but if you will begin in time and will be ricidlv regular in vour treat * O . ' ment you will win. Scott's Emulsion, fresh air, rest all you can, cat all you can, that's the treatment and that's the best treatment. ^ "" ^ \Yc will send you Bile sure that tins picture ir tlie form ot a label is on the wrapper of every bottle ol SCOTT & BOWNE, 409 Pearl St.,N.

New York, Mutch 21.?Five patients from the New York inst'tute for the instruction of the deaf and blind attended a performance of "The Daughter of tho Regiment," at tlie Metropolitan opera hou^e last night and were enabled to henr perfectly by the aid of the "Aecousticon," the invention of Miller Reese Hutchison, of Mobile, Ala., with which the initial experiments wore recently made here with success. The appliance is in three pieces. The heart of the invention is centered in a vulcanized disc that may be attached to a waistcoat or underclothing. The reverse side of thif- disc is hollow and tilled with gases, the nature of which Mr. Hutchison alone knows. The ear piece which resembles that of a telephone and the vulcanized disc are connected by wires and an electric storage battery that ih easily carried in a pocket, supplies the current that connects the disc and the ear piece.
