The Magnificent Receipts of Nil

concert in Baltimore on Monday night.
On - her 'previous visit to that city, ths
receipts of "the house for'two house;
for two nights were over §8,000, r
most.uhnsnal thing for that c-ity. .Yet
that was a trifle compared with Nil
sson’s- success elsewhere. At on< -
matincevin'Bostpn. the receipts, were
§8,200. For nine performances to
Chicago—seven concerts and two ora
tories—§54,000 were taken in. At
Terre Haute, a tc.wn ; of less £hangg|k-
000 inhabitants, one house yielded
§5,700. At Jacksonville, Illinois, n
place' of .8,000 'inhabitants, §4,000 wae -
taken in and the same amount at Peo
ria, -a town of 20,000 inhabitants.—
There never were such receipts be
fore. Ho other icountiy- .in-the world
has ever paid so high for a single per
former, even in ' opera—much less in
concert. Nilsson gets for her hun-
dred nights §100^000,. and the expens?
es of herself and large' domestic sui;
all paid. Her share of extra profits is
about §50,000 additional. Max Stri-

bold venture, which was at Ms risk,

Dr. E.-W. Carr, of Baltimore, says*
I take pleasure in recommending" your
x-pSADAUS “ a very powerful alterative.
I have seen it used in two cases with happv
results—one in a case of secondary syphi
lis, in which the patient pronounced him
self cured after Laving taken five bottles of
your medicine. The other is a case of
scrofula of long standing, which is rapidly
improving under its use,and the indications- ‘
are that the patient will soon recover; .1,
have carefully examined the formula bv
whi«*h your Bosadalis is made, and find it
an excellent compound of alterative ingre-
Dr. Sparks, of Nicholasville, Kentucky,
says he has used Ecsiislis in cases of Scro-

*>vx results—as. a cleaner of the blood, I
know no better remedy. ^ j WSpQgGgKfr'/-'

I have suffered for twenty yerrs with an in

sadalis and it effected a perfect cure.
