Owing to a recent family bereave ment the service was performed at the home of the bride's father in the pres ence of immediate friends and relatives. The bride was Miss Susie A. House, one of Littleton's fairest and most ac complished daughters, and the groom was Mr. Charles Dowtin, of Norfolk, Va. They were surrounded during the ceremony, which was impressively per formed by Rev. J. D. Humble, pastor of Littleton M. E. Church, by Miss Irma Johnson and Miss Sallie Hoube, who acted as bridesmaids, and by Mr. Erwin House and Mr. Henry Dowtin, who officiated in the capacity of groomsmen. The beautiful wedding service was enhanced by the simple elegance of the surroundings and at its conclusion the newly wedded eouple left for a bridal tour to the principal olties of the north. A very handsome supper to the bridal party was one of the special features of the evening pre ceding the happy event. "The bride is the daughter of Mr. James H. House and has been a uni versal favorite in this section of the State. The groom is very prominent in the business circles of tidewater Virginia and is regarded as one of the most prosperous citizens in the vicini ty of Norlolk.

WERMAN, OF BALTIMORE, SAYS: Baltimore, Mil., March 30, 1901. Gentlemen : Being entirely cured of deefness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. About five vears ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept 011 getting worse, until I lost my hearing in this ear entirely. I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any Fiiccef-s, consulted a num ber of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear r.peciaiist of "t'nisoitv, who told ine that only an operation could help me, and even tl:at only temporarily, that the head noises would then cease, but the bearing in the affected ear wjdld be lost forever." I then saw your advertisement accident all v in a New York p iper, and ordered your treat ment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and to-day, after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored. I thank you heartily and beg to remain 1 Very truly years. f. A. V.'ERSIAX, 730 S. Broadway, Baltimore, Md. Out treatment does not interfere with your usual occupation.
