THE
POPULAR
ORGANETTE
WILL PLAY ANY TUNE
WITH CHARMING
EFFECT]
We are the =General Agents= for the United States and Canada
for this wonderful and =First Class= Organette. It is a =reed=
instrument, and is constructed on the same principle as an
organ, with bellows and =full size reeds=. The music consists of
perforated sheets, which are put into the Organette, furnishing
either =finished solo performance, a rich accompaniment to the
voice or valuable orchestral effects=. They are marvels of musical
invention, and combine in themselves all the principles upon which
automatic organs, organettes, etc., are now being made, requiring
no skill in the performer; any child old enough to use its hands
intelligently can play, and the =range of music is absolutely
unlimited=. We wish to introduce one of these Organettes in every
town and hamlet throughout the =United States and Canada=, and in
order to do so =speedily= have concluded to sell a limited number
to the readers of this magazine at =ONLY $5.00= each. This is =much
under the regular price=, and in order to protect ourselves from
persons ordering in large quantities we require you to =cut this
advertisement out= and send to us with your order on or before
=September 1st, 1883=. We will positively not sell more than =one
Organette= to any one person at this reduced price, as we only make
this unprecedented offer to introduce this =first-class Organette=
throughout the world, well knowing that, after one is received in a
neighborhood, we will sell several at =our regular price=.
We wish to caution you against the many =worthless automatic
instruments= being sold =under various names=. We are the =General
Agents= for the =McTammany Organette=, and you must order direct
from us or through our authorized Agents. Remember, the =McTammany
Organettes= are not toys, but are =large and powerful instruments=,
built of =black walnut=, highly polished and decorated in =gold=,
the Reeds being so powerful that they produce sufficient =volume
of music= for the =chapel, parlor or lodge=. There is nothing
about them to get out of order, in fact, they produce a richer
and sweeter sound after having been used for a few years. =For
HOME ENTERTAINMENTS they are unsurpassed.= The cut will give you
but a faint idea of _size and finish_ of this instrument, but we
will return the money and pay express charges to any one who is
not perfectly satisfied after receiving it. With each Organette we
inclose a selection of popular tunes, and pack all in a strong box.
Money can be sent by Registered Letter, Money Order or Draft, or we
will send the Organette by express, C. O. D., with the privilege of
examination before taking out of the express office, if you send
$1, to guarantee us against express charges. If you are in New York
at any time call on us, or if you have friends living here request
them to call and purchase for you. If you wish to act as an agent
for us send to us at once and secure the agency for your town. =You
can easily sell the instruments at $10 to $15 each. Address or call

COMPOUND OXYGEN,
FOR THE CURE OF CHRONIC DISEASES.
“I Almost Forget that I Have Been Sick.”
This is the declaration of a lady in Wellsville, Mo., whose
friends, to use her own words, “had all given up that I was going
with _Consumption_ as fast as I could.” We give her own account of
the marvelous change wrought by Compound Oxygen:
“I was convalescing from a six weeks’ fever when I began using
the Oxygen. Was very much reduced in flesh and strength; could
only sit up a part of the time. Had a slight cough and raised some
matter and phlegm from my lungs. After using the Oxygen one week my
weight was eighty nine and a half pounds; three weeks after it was
ninety-two pounds, a gain of two and a half pounds in three weeks.
I think it has been much faster for the last two weeks.
“I have been using Oxygen for six weeks and am now able to ride to
town, six miles, do my shopping and back again, get dinner for my
family and work at light housework all the remainder of the day
without stopping to rest. Am feeling so strong and well _that I
almost forget I have been sick_ and should think my lungs well if
it were not for the smarting or uneasy feeling in my throat and
some pain between my shoulders at times.
“My cough (when I do cough, which is not often) is much more
satisfactory and less of a hack than it was six weeks ago, and I
think I raise more phlegm and less matter.
“I am able to do my own work, and it is so easy that I find it a
real pleasure. _Appetite is splendid. Sleep seven or eight hours
soundly; no night sweats, no distressing sick headaches, as I
used to have. My friends had all given up that I was going with
Consumption as fast as I could, but instead, I am looking better
than for years_, and I think it is through God’s mercy and His
blessing and your Oxygen that has brought me health and happiness.”
“A Wonder to all my Friends.”
A lady at Sandy Creek, N.Y., wrote us in April last, giving a
statement of her case. She had been a sufferer for many years,
especially from _Neuralgia_.
We had but one report of the case, and that a brief one, until
October 20, 1882, when the following was received. It will be seen
that the treatment has been doing a good work, and that the lady,
to use her own words, is “a wonder to all her friends.”
“Last April I procured a Home Treatment from you and have written
you once since then. I have been greatly benefited by the use of
the Oxygen. When I wrote you a description of my case you expressed
the opinion that with freedom from care and work I might be cured
by taking the Treatment. I have never worked so hard or steadily
as through the past summer, _and have not felt so well, so much
alive for years_, and all this from the use _of only about half
a Treatment_. I have been so very busy that I have not taken the
Oxygen regularly at all; neither have I reported to you but once
before, so I could blame no one but myself if I were not benefited.
I have not felt quite as well for the past two weeks, but am
going to be more faithful in the use of the Oxygen, and I hope to
improve. _I am a wonder to all my friends_, but I give the credit
where it is due—to the use of the Oxygen.”
Strong Testimony from a Physician.
A physician in Troy, Tenn., whose wife was in the early stages of
Consumption, wrote to us in May last, ordering a Treatment. In a
second letter, received some weeks after the Compound Oxygen was
received, he says:
“She coughs some. Has no night sweats. Had some chills lately;
short breath; pain in left lung under breast; some hemorrhage
recently; appetite and sleep moderate; losing flesh since using
Compound Oxygen; is some better in all respects; coughs up some
blood and pure pus; breathes better than before using Compound
Oxygen.”
We did not hear again from the case until Sept. 22, 1882, when a
letter came, in which the writer states that he had been waiting
to see if the good work begun by our Treatment was going to be
permanent. His report, which we give below, is highly satisfactory:
“You will no doubt think that I have been very negligent in writing
you in regard to my wife’s case. Please receive my apology. _I
was just waiting to see if what your Treatment was doing would be
permanent._ I have so much to say that I hardly know where to begin.
“I gave you the symptoms when I made the order. _For the first
three weeks my wife did not improve any. After that time she
improved slowly but steadily. She is now like a new person. She is
gaining all the time. Her breathing is better than for two years,
and she is gaining strength and flesh._
“When she began your Compound Oxygen _she could not walk fifty
yards without great exhaustion_. She can now _walk half a mile with
but little fatigue_. Her lungs pain her but little. She sleeps well
at night; appetite good; has not _had any hemorrhage since last of
July_, and then light; and, to cut the matter short, _she said this
morning that she began to feel like herself again_.
“_You are at liberty to refer to me or my wife any one similarly
affected._”
Our Treatise on Compound Oxygen _is sent free of charge_. It
contains a history of the discovery, nature and action of this new
remedy, and a record of many of the remarkable results which have
so far attended its use.

Obvious printer’s punctuation errors and omissions silently
corrected. Period spellings and author’s grammar have been

of authors. The following printer’s errors were corrected.
Changed “intoxcating” to “intoxicating” on page 142 (was found to
be giving intoxicating drink).
An unclosed quote on page 147 is left unclosed, as it is uncertain
where the close quote should be (“the W. C. T. U. has induced).
Changed “discusssion” to “discussion” on page 148 (for free
discussion).
Changed “Fragance” to “Fragrance” on page 157 (Beauty and
