    Regarding G. G. N. of W. Va.: “The enclosed clipping from a local paper, I think, will answer your questions.” [The clipping re- ferred to was the obituary notice of C. G. N.—Ed.] Regarding A. M. of La.: “Replying to yours of the 23rd inst. rela- tive to A. M., will say this party died about 2 years ago.” Regarding A. W. M. of Ark.: “There is no such individual here.” Improving in Every Wa/. On Feb. 22nd we reoelYed the follow- ing report from Mr. Clarence G. New- house, No. 175 Argyle St, Keyser, W. Va.: “I have used Lung-Germine six weeks and am taking IS-drop doses three times daily. I sleep better, have a better appetite, night swieats are not so severe, breathing is easier, I am, stronger and ' pains in sides and shoulderblades are getting ^ better.' Please send me some addressed en- velopes.” The upper notice appeared in the Lung Germine Monfhlg RulJe- iin for March, 1909 ; it consists of a letter, hopeful in tone, from a victim of this “cure.” The lower is a notice regarding the saim* individual from a local newspaper a year later. This explains why the Bulletin prints letters only from those who are beginning “treatment.” Death, of Young Man Clarence Newhouse, a young man, living with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. Vif. Newhouse, on Argyle street, died Tuesday. Wednesday the burial took place in Queens Point cemetery. Young Newhouse had formerly been an employee of the B. & 0. Company in the car repair shops, but eighteen months ago was compelled to give up j the work as consumption made an inroad on his eonstitution. Regarding Mrs. E.
