SEISS, Philadelphia, Pa., 1338 Spring Garden Street, Messrs. OSTERMOOR & Co. January 10, 1900. SIRS-I have had one of your Patent Elastic Felt Mattresses in constant use for twenty-eight years past; it is not in the least matted down, but is just as soft, clean, and elastic as when new, although the ticking is very badly worn and giving way rapidly now, so that I think recovering is necessary. I certainly would not have a mattress for personal use except the Ostermoor Patent Elastic Felt, for there is not, to my knowledge, anything so satisfactory and enduring as your mattress possible to be obtained. Surely the sight of this twentyeight-year-old mattress and my remarkable experience must convince doubters, if any are left. My experience, wonderful as it is, I understand is not excep tional, but that I am only one among many so happily favored with such a blessing during the last quarter of this, the Nineteenth Century. JOSEPH A. SEISS, D.D. CHURCH CUSHIONS They have preserved their shape better, and are, in my judgment, in every way more desirable than cushions made of any other material offered to the public. The Cushions were put in the church long before I became a preacher. Of their present condition I can judge, In regard to the length of time they have been in use, and the satisfaction they have universally given, the officers of the church are my authority. We found the Cushions, after so many years' constant use, in such good condition that upon going into our new church in December, 1883, we had you recover them, and they are to-day certainly as good as new.

The most pitiful thing is that same baby, thin and in pain. And the mother does not know that a little fat makes all the difference. Dimples and joy have gone, and left hollows and fear; the fat, that was comfort and color and curve-all but pity and love is gone. The little one gets no fat from her food. There is something wrong; it is either her food or food-mill. She has had no fat for weeks; is living on what she had stored in that plump little body of hers, and that is gone. She is starving for fat, it is death, be quick! Scott's emulsion of cod liver oil is the fat she can take: it will save her. We would be pleased to send you sample upon request.
