On hearing or reading of the death of an acquaintance or friend, an expression of sympathy should at once be sent off. It used to be the custom to wait for the memoriam cards sent out by the family, but this, if it was ever the custom in the best society, has now long ceased to be so. Memoriam cards are only used in humble circles. At the same time, one needs to be very careful as to the accuracy of one’s information before sending off a letter of condolence. Similarity of name is apt to lead to awkward mistakes.

In this connection it may be as well to remark that about a week after the funeral it is customary to call and leave cards of inquiry. When these are responded to by cards of thanks for inquiries, it is a sign that the family is willing to receive callers.

NEW ILLUSTRATED BOOK.

“WHAT GALVANISM HAS DONE AND IS DOING.”

Many interesting and instructive lectures on Electricity are given by the most eminent scientific men of the present day. All are agreed as to its curative properties and power to relieve pain, and call attention to the many fraudulent appliances offered to the public, but they do not state where one may obtain a genuine appliance constructed on the necessary principles of the continuous current.

Our New Book explains clearly and very simply how to test an electrical appliance, either Battery or Belt, to prove its efficacy. It will instruct you--

HOW GALVANISM CURES LUMBAGO AND PAIN IN BACK.

HOW GALVANISM CURES LOCAL WEAKNESS FROM ALL CAUSES.

HOW GALVANISM CURES ANÆMIA AND BAD CIRCULATION.

HOW GALVANISM CURES ASTHMA, BRONCHITIS, GOUT, AND RHEUMATISM.

HOW GALVANISM CURES CHILDREN IN DELICATE HEALTH.

To be had post free on mentioning this Book, from--
