First, to-the hopeful future; next, to the shining past; Last, to the glorious present! listen, good masters, pray; Please you, the Record measures twenty- five years to-day! Sound me a High sits Fame on her column, wreaths of bay in her hands. Look to that sturdy youngster, close to the top he stands. Young and alert as ever—picture and joke and rhyme— Wish him good speed in climbing ali that remains to climb! You who have stood beside him, know how to toil and coax; Scouring the town for pictures, search- ing the world for jokes— Cared for his baby weakness, petted and pitied him, say, Look him all over, and tell us, how do you like him to-day? Many a critic has lashed him—critics nev- er refuse;— Spite of their lashing and pounding, ever he tries to amuse, Giving you rhyming jingle, jest and good- natured chaff, Always his boast and motto: ‘“‘The Rec- ord; it is to laugh.”’ Fill me a cup with the nectar that spark- les and bubbles and boils, Drink to the men of the Record; here’s success to their toils! Bend once more to your trumpet! sound me your loudest blast: Yale, ald Yale, and the Record; present, future. and past! The dedication is accompanied by il- lustrations by Grosvenor Atterbury, ’91.

It forms on asbestos while being electrically treated in a solution. This asbestos is pe up in a glass vial. When the cork of the vial is removed and the air comes in contact with the asbestos, it emits from the inhaler a soothing prec: substance, which will penetrate any part of the body. When inhaled through the nose or mouth, it penetrates every nook and crevice of the mucuous surfaces, kills the germ that causes the disease, and gives the tissues a healthy condition, thus effecting a permanent cure. Itis unlike snuff, drugs or medicine. X-Ode penetrates parts that it would be impossible for drugs or medicines to do. Catarrh, Asthma, Hay Fever, Coughs, Head- ache, Bronchitis, LaGrippe, etc., yield to its influ- ence with marvelous rapidity. This inhaler lasts from one to three years. Trial size inhaler, x5 cents: large size inhaler, $1.00, All druggists or by . The X-ODE CO., 19 Union Square, New York City.
