and vitality. Biliousness, bad liver,
nervousness, blinding, splitting head-
aches. rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica

1018, that I saw the best sight that I
ever saw in my life. It was an Ameri-

the border into Switzerland about 8
o'clock that night. That was, I be-
lieve. the happiest night I ever spent.

The Prestige of the Starr
is a prestige gained from fifty years’ experience in the
creation of musical instruments—a vast wealth of
knowledge, which has been poured into the making of
the Starr Phonograph. ,
The public knows that “old friends are best.” That is
why the circle of those who own and love the Starr is
constantly widening.
The owners of Starrs know why this is so. “The
difference is in the tone.” The marvelous tone of the
Starr—which is recognized the moment you hear it—
is due to the singing throat” of the Starr Phonograph.
And the richness of the “singing throat" of the Starr
is due, in turn, to the material from which it ismade-
