Good News. 



For years I have not been able to dress myself; 

 and for many weeks have had to be lifted out in my 

 bed and chair. Under tlie pressure of necessity! 

 have invented a device by which a child can put me 

 to bed or take me up. The device can be used in 

 any room or nart of a room. A practical, simple, 

 cheap device. " Invalids will do well to correspond.
