A MUSICAL EDUCATION FOR HALF A CROWES. SHOULD BE IN ALL HOMES WHERE THERE IS A PIANO OR ORGAN. THE above heading will, of course, appear to most people as the height of absurdity, jet the absurdity is more Apparent than real, j It goes without sayiDg that a finished musical I education in the regular course cannot be had ! fora crown, or even with several hnndred additioDal crowns, bat can it be truthfully said that the pera on with a sufficient knowledge of music to play accompaniments readily on the piano or organ to all the popular and standard songs of the day has no musical education ? Assuredly tot.t ot. A magical education sufficient to enable . one to play correctly accompaniments to the ' songs 6UDg in the home frequently gets and ' gives more pleasure from the modest accom- , plishment than does the acquirements of maiiy on whose education large sums have been ( expended. • To the more modest musical education the above heading applies. Such an education the '■ Otaoo Witness is now enabled to offer its music-loving readers for half a crown, the publishers having recently decided to reduce the ; price to that turn. , This ready-made musical education consists , of Pratt's Chart; of Chords for the Piano and , Organ, which is tte nearest approach to a i ready-made knowledge of music yet attained by fcience. - It is a short cut to harmony, and is to music ' what the multiplication table is to arithmetic — » a qnick method Gf learning to play the Piaco k or Organ without a teacher. j With this chart anyone can with bub a small : .-imount of prac'ice become an txperb accom- ~ ponist. It is complete self-instructor, enabling* anyone to play without difficulty accompaniments <o any song ever written. It is valuable to the advanced musician as well as the be- ' ginner, embracing nearly *very major and minor chord used in music, and is endorsed by teachers acd musicians everywhere, j rlhisr lhis cbart is the practical result of yeara of study by Charles E. Pratt, the noted American cempeser aud mneician, whose compositions have world-wide popularity' and a larger sale than those of any other American or European composer. Believing that the educational and pleasuregiviDg value cf th : s Chart is very great, the Otago Witnkss bas arranged with the publishers to supply Pratl's Ch*rfc of Chordß to its readers at* Half a Ceown each, and in addition to the Chart of Chords the publishers , have kindly * greed to tend without extra charge ! a copy of the Book of Songs, containing 184- . scngs, with words and music. Many of these fongs are ohl-time favourites long out of print | that can bata t brained in no .other way. j Every home that bas a piano or organ, espec'i felly where there are children, sLould have Pr^tt's Chart of Chords.

PUBLISHED FOR THE BENEFIT OF OTHERS. "FLOATING KIDNEY." 134 York street, Launceaton, 19th Ajiril, 1899. Mv "W. WEBBER, Proprietor Vitadatio. Dear Sir, I—As1 — As a resident of Launceston. of many years standing, it seems to me to be any duty, as" well us a great pleasure, to inform all who aro in need of a great and reliable rnedicino what your Vitadatio has done for me. Practically I was an invalid for quito two years. No words can express tho intenso pain I suffered. All my trouble \va3 in my back. After a long courso of treatment by doctors it was finally decided my disease was a FLOATING KIDNEY. My husband says ho has ÜBed from time to timo sacks of linseed meal in poultices to give mo ease from pain. Moreover, morphitv was given in my medicines to lessen my sufferings, i But from all this there was no permanent vcliof. There is nothing in my opinion so subduing as almost incessant pain, at least I found it so. Your Vitadatio being then, as now, the talk of the town, Mr Kilby bought a l)ottle for me and insisted upon mo giving it a trial. At first it made me much woTse, aud I -wanted to atop its use after the first bottle, "but my family would not hear of it, and insisted I should go on with a course of it. Details of its effects need not be given. In all I took nine of the large-sizo bottles ; my pains rapidly disappeared, and before I had finished the course I was perfectly free from my pain Rnd disease. The latter, all tho doctors agreed iv Baying, was an extremely bad case oT Floating Kidney. I never -cease to recommend your great remedy, Yitadatio, to any whom I know to be in pain, as I have known it to really •work wonders in many cases other than my own. The curs in my case must be complete and permanent, as I have had no return of tho symptoms, now upwards of three years, so take it to be safe to giva the public the benefit of jny experience. If you chooso to do so, this may be published for tho benefit of others. Yours gratefully, ' (Mrs) F. E. KILBY. PKICE of VITADATIO, 6s Gd and 3s 6d. INDIAN OIL of CREAM, 2s 6d. TRY VITADATIO TO-DAY.
