CLASS MUSICAL.
Miss Mary McKinnon’s Class in
Music Give Creditable Re
cital at Hirsch Home.
' A recital that reflected credit
lpon both teacher and pupil was
?iven Thursday evening at the
Hirsch home by six of Miss Mary
McKinnon’s pupils, which was
jstened to and enjoyed by quite
i party of interested ones. This
is the first of a series of musi
:ales to be given by this class, an
announcement that will be well
received.
The opening numbers “Bar
Hietta,” Nevin, and “The
Brook,” Gautice, by Miss Irma
Hooker were beautifully inter
preted and proved much study
upon her part.
Miss Ellen Jones followed with
the “Lullaby” by Bloch. Of a
musical temperament, she prom
ises to be a mistress of the vio
lin and even at her young age,
ten years, is capable of much
sxpression.
Miss Bertha Hirsch, wdio out
ranks Ellen but one year, is also
deserving of special mention and
her rendition of the “Spinning
Song” by Ellmenreich w-as high
ly complimented and well worthy
of a pupil of three years instead
Df one.
Miss Della Bernstein sang “Du
bist me eim Blume” by Kullak
and “A Dream” by Wright,
winning much applause. Her
voice showed strength, carrying
power and pathos, three needed
qualities in a really good voice.
Ihe first selection is an exquisite
little poem and was sung in the
original German.
Miss Hilda Bailey played Beet
hoven’s “Adieu to the Piano”
with much feeling, also
“Gretchen am Spinwad,” by
Harmston in nasterly manner,
the left hand bringing out the
melody particularly well.
Miss Jennie McCauley on the
violin gave the concluding num
bers, Thorne’s “Confession” and
“Prayer and Air from Frei
schutz” by Weber in a very ar
tistic manner. Both pieces were
very difficult, but Miss McCau
ley’s technique was smooth and
flexible.
Miss McKinnon, “whose music
has too many component beau
ties to individualize among them,
closed the evening’s entertain
ment with a number of selections
that met with vigorous encores.
Those present were: Mes
damesE. McDonald, L. McCauley,
R. M. Johnson, J. H. McHugh,
R. T. Simmons, Gustave Jones,
I. Goldman, Wm. Hooker, Wm.

Scrofula arises from poor, thin, watery blood. I
not exist with pure, rich, red blood coursing through the ■
veins and arteries. In order to enrich and cleanse the 1
blood, the digestive organs must be stimulated and toned §
up so that they take the best from food, and the liver and |
kidneys must be stimulated to carry away blood impurities. I
Johnston’s Tonic Capsules cure scrofula by purifying the blood. All I
tissues of the body are fed, maintained and cleansed by the blood. The I
blood contains, at one time or another, everything which is about to be- |
come a part of the tissue and everything which has served its purpose, !
been discarded and ceased to belong to them, thus it is both the scavenger j
and the food-provider of every cell of the body. I
It is as important that the worn-out particles and impurities of the blood
be removed as that new and wholesome material be provided, for the presence
| of the one poisons the tissues, and the lack of the other starves them.
For over 40 years Johnston’s Tonic Capsules have been held in high esteem
as a most reliable and satisfactory remedy for scrofula, rheumatism, eczema,
old sores, painful swellings, kernels and enlarged glands, catarrh, scurvy, j
boils, liver complaint, dyspepsia, jaundice, constipation, kidney troubles and “
a long list of common ails and ills.
We have great confidence in this medicine, a confidence born of many
years’ experience with it, and we make the following extraordinary offer:
Send us a dollar for a large box of Johnstcjn’s Tonic Capsules, or buy the same
| of dealer whose name appears below, use half of them, and if you are not
satisfied, mail the balance to us and we will return your money. Test them at
I our risk and be your own iudcre. Michigan Drue: Co.. Detroit. Mich.
