LIGHTEN YOUR LABOR

THE PERFECTED TYPE-WRITER.

SEE WHAT IT WILL DO.

FROM THE AUTHOR OF "HOW TO TRAVEL."

NEW YORK, MARCH 4, 1881.

E. REMINGTON & SONS:--Gentlemen:

In reply to your inquiry of yesterday I beg to say that I consider
the Type-Writer invaluable to any one who has a large amount of
writing to do. For clearing off an accumulation of correspondence
on returning from a journey it is admirable, and for preparing
printer's "copy" it is unrivaled. If I could not get another
Type-Writer I would not willingly take ten thousand dollars for
the one I now have. It is little more than two years since I
bought it, and in all that time its repairs have cost exactly
fifty cents. Besides all my private correspondence, magazine
articles, and newspaper matter, I have written four books with
this machine and shall complete a fifth in a few days. The saving
of time to me is not far from 25 per cent., and in this one item
the Type-Writer has paid for itself several times over.

Very truly yours,

THOS. W. KNOX.

THE PERMANENT CURE OF CATARRH.

Rev. T. P. Childs' Treatment the Only Effectual Way.

CHILDS' CATARRH SPECIFIC

Is no new untried cure, but a Positive and Certain Remedy.

WE, ABOVE ALL THINGS, DESIRE TO ESTABLISH CONFIDENCE IN OUR TREATMENT, SO THAT EVERY SUFFERER FROM CATARRH AND BRONCHITIS MAY FEEL CERTAIN OF SUCCESS IN ITS USE.

193 E. Fayette St., Baltimore, Md., Dec. 20, 1879.

REV. T. P. CHILDS.--I have the pleasure of informing you that
after a faithful use of your remedy for eight weeks ending March
28, 1879, I am completely rid of a stubborn case of catarrh of
three years' standing--breathing tubes clear as a whistle,
appetite good, and digestion good.

Yours,

THOMAS B. HAND.

REV. T. P. CHILDS: Dear Sir--I think you have the true theory and
practice for cure of nasal catarrh, and also for the treatment of
respiratory organs. My throat is now so well restored that I can
lecture daily without any difficulty, and find no difficulty
whatever in preaching. You are at full liberty to use my name for
the benefit of others.

Yours very truly,

E. B. FAIRCHILD, D.D., LL.D.,

Chancellor of the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Neb.

WHAT THE EDITORS SAY.

"While not supposing that all cases of catarrh will be cured by the prescription advertised, the publishers of the Illustrated Christian Weekly, after diligent inquiry, have reason to believe that it has in many cases proved effectual."--_Illustrated Christian Weekly_, New York.

"The publishers of the Congregationalist, with multitudes of other people, are somewhat suspicious of patent medicines as a rule, and when we received the advertisement of Mr. Childs we at first declined its insertion; but, on making inquiry, we received such satisfactory replies, and one especially from a well-known Congregational pastor not far from Rev. Mr. Childs, the proprietor of the medicine, that we withdrew our objections."--_Congregationalist_, Boston.

~CHILDS' CATARRH SPECIFIC will effectually and permanently cure any case of catarrh, no matter how desperate. It can only be obtained at Troy, Ohio. The treatment is local as well as constitutional, and cannot be obtained at the drug stores. We especially desire to treat those who have tried other remedies without success.~

~Child's Treatment of Catarrh, and for diseases of the Bronchial Tubes, can be taken at home, with perfect ease and safety, by the patient. No expense need be entailed beyond the cost of the medicine.~

REV. T. P. CHILDS, TROY, OHIO.

THE POLAND SPRING WATER

Has cured numerous cases of BRIGHT'S DISEASE OF THE KIDNEYS, as well as other forms of disease resulting from BLOOD POISON, such as MALARIAL FEVER, RHEUMATIC FEVER, DYSPEPSIA, CONSTIPATION, GRAVEL, DIABETES, SCROFULA, DROPSY, ETC.

Although an exceedingly pleasant water to drink, it possesses those peculiar properties that restore to action the Kidneys, Liver, and other Internal Organs that may have become sluggish in their movements. Thus by cleansing the blood the body is restored to its original vigor, and the complexion to its original freshness and beauty. Were it more generally used there would be far less demand for drugs and cosmetics.

The following gentlemen of this city will cheerfully bear testimony to its remarkable curative qualities:

J. W. Pottle; S. Jacoby, 103 Broad Street; J. M. Schuyler, 114 Wall Street; C. E. Blumenthal, M.D., 54 West 45th Street; W. G. Tuller and Ira Thorn, Fifth Avenue Hotel; J.

Libby & Co., White Street; Deering & Milliken, 79 and 81 Leonard Street; G. N. Dickinson, of Lee, Tweedy & Co.; A. A. Vantine, 827, 829, and 831 Broadway; Edward Carroll, of Falconer, Carroll & Co.; C. P. Tooker, of Kiggins, Tooker & Co., 125 William Street; John R. Ames, Board of Education; George A.

TOURJEE'S TOURS,

FOURTH SEASON,

The most enjoyable, economical and successful excursion tours ever planned to the

OLD WORLD.

ALL TRAVEL AND HOTELS FIRST-CLASS.

COMPANY SELECT.

Important additions to our former tours. Extra inducements without extra charge. Early registration important. Parties contemplating a visit to Europe should send for circular giving full particulars.

E. TOURJEE,
MUSIC HALL, BOSTON.

The following is from the Physicians' Pocket Manual and Year Book.

"Three years ago, he planned a new way of seeing the wonders of the Old World, and what have now become famous as the Tourjee Excursions are such as every intelligent person will heartily endorse.

The cost to each excursionist varies from $175 to $700, and these figures include first-class transportation, hotel accommodations, carriage drives, lunches and all incidentals. From the time he embarks to the day he returns to New York, the tourist is not obliged to take out an additional cent from his purse. We heartily endorse these pleasant trips, and believe that they merit the appreciation of the medical profession. In the previous excursions, quite a number of eastern medical men participated, and several will have gone over the ground again the present year. The advantages which they offer for recuperation, both to physicians and patients, are unsurpassed, and we hope that many a year will have passed before they shall be discontinued. The old way of seeing the Old World has always had many drawbacks; the new way affords thrice the benefit for less than one-half the expenditure."

NEVER TO MAKE A NOISE.
NEVER TO NEED A REPAIR.

The "_HARTFORD_" Mattress is _durable_. It will last a _life-time_. One-third of every person's life ought to be spent in sleep, hence the necessity for a _perfect sleeping arrangement_. The "_HARTFORD_" Mattress affords the greatest comfort; _conforming to the body_, it makes a _most delightful bed_. The "_HARTFORD_" Mattress will never wear out or need a repair. Requiring over the Mattress only a _blanket_ or a _very light mattress_, much is saved in the way of expense in not being obliged to purchase heavy hair mattresses or other over-bedding. The "_HARTFORD_" Woven Wire Mattress is free from the disagreeable noises so annoying in the upright spiral spring. The "_HARTFORD_" Mattress always keeps its shape, being as elastic and flexible after fifteen years use as when first manufactured. Investigate its merits. Buy only the genuine "_HARTFORD_." Take no other. Beware of imitations and infringements. Every Mattress marked "_HARTFORD_." For prices, catalogues, or any desired information,

LIBERAL AND IMPORTANT CONCESSIONS IN LIFE INSURANCE CONTRACTS.

EXAMINE THE NEW FORM OF POLICY

ISSUED BY

The United States Life Insurance Company,

BEFORE INSURING ELSEWHERE.

NOTE THE LIBERALITY OF ITS TERMS.

After the premiums for three or more years have been paid, upon receiving the required notice from the assured, the Company will continue the Policy in force without further payments, for its FULL FACE, for such a period as the ENTIRE RESERVE will carry it.

Should the death of the insured take place during the continued term of insurance as provided for above, the full face of the Policy will be paid--no deduction being made for forborne or unpaid premiums, excepting in the event of the death occurring within three years after the default.

The new form of ENDOWMENT Policy provides: That if the ENTIRE RESERVE is a greater sum than the single premium required to carry the full amount of insurance to the end of the Endowment term, the EXCESS shall be issued as a single premium to purchase a pure Endowment, payable at the end of the term, thus guaranteeing to the Policy-holder in every event the full value of his RESERVE.

NO SURRENDER of the Policy is required--only a notice from the Policy-holder, on blanks furnished by the Company.

ALL RESTRICTIONS, ALL RESTRICTIONS and CONDITIONS in regard to travel, residence, occupation, and cause of death are removed, thus making the Policies after three years INCONTESTABLE FOR ANY CAUSE EXCEPTING FRAUD.

_All Forms of Life and Endowment Policies Issued._
