Gatarral Cured.

Theyare treating CatarrR on new system which
is Sure Care TOR the Disease.
Experience ha- proved that Catarrh cannot be
cured by local treatment alone; hence the many
advertised cures for Catarrh, all of which local
remedies, give relief only while the patien tbs
ing them, but never cure.
Understanding the disease, and we know II can
not be cured by local treatment alone, therefore,
we also prescribe a constitutional remedy TO be
taken and by the combined local and constitution
al treatment we are enabled TO remove the cause
of Catarrh, and thereby effect
PERMANENT CURE.
Their consultations for years have averaged IRAN
FIVE to seven thousand year, which gives them an
experience unsurpassed by any, and equalled on
ly by few
NSs Remember they do lot promise TO all
stages of disease. While all diseases are durable
if taken in season, all stages are not. Your case
may be durable this week, not next-to day. not
tomorrow; hence the danger OF delay.
No Case rriH be Received aohen there are any
doubts Of Cure or Relief.
Our terms are cash hence the money must be
sent with all orders for medicines. II costs from
FIVE 10 fifteen dollars per month, to doctor with

There is 10 death The stars go down
70 rise upon some fairer shore
And bright in Heavens jewelled crown
They shine foreyermOre.
There is no death The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer showers
To golden grain or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow-tinted flowers;
The granite rocks disorganize
To feed the hungry moss they bear,
The fairest leaves drink daily life
From out the yiewless air.
There is no death: the leaves may fall,
The flowers may fade ami pass away
They only wait through wintry hours,
The coming of the May.
There is no death An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread,
He bears our best loved things away,
And then we call them "dead."
He leaves our hearts all desolate-
He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers;
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-like voice, whose joyous tones
Made glad this scene of sin and strife,
Sings now in everlasting song
Amid the tree of life.
And where he sees a smile too bright,
Or hearts too pure for faint and vice,
lie bears it to that world of light
To dwell in Paradise.
Born into that undying life,
They leave US but to come again;
With JOY we welcome them-the same,
Except in sin and pain.
And ever near US, though unseen,
The death immortal spirits tread;
For all the boundless Universe
Is life-there are no dead.
