tribute this deplOfabie failure IN 1ts treat
ment and the consequent false idea conveyed
to the public that the disease in incurable.
The best evidence of what can be done in the
treatment of any disease Is to be found in the
past success of the treatment to be employed.
An old proverb says, "what has been done
NAV be done again" In view Ofthese facts,
and knowing that have cured thousands of
the worst cases of Catarrh, and have never
failed to effect perfect cure when have
had reasonable chance, hereby offer, in
good faith, $500 reward for case Of Catarrh
which cannot cure. / claim that / can
cure any and every case of il If my direc-
tons are faithfully followed. Why then
triHe with this disease, reader? Why put
of the use of the sure means of cure which
offer? Do you know that procraaination
Is the thief Of timer" Why Try TO make
light of it BY thinking that Il Is only Ca
tarrh? Do you not know that consumption
and insanity are among its frequent results,
and that thereby millions Of graves are filed?
Do I speak strongly? Can l speak too
strongly? Why disgust your friends and
associates with the offensive odor of your
breath, or BY your constant hawking, blow
ing and splitting, when relief i 20 easily and
cheaply Obtained? Il it not duty that you
owe to Others, % we'll as yourself, to ct rid
of this Disgusting complaint. Do not think
that the disease will in time wear out. On
the contrary, it will, unless cured, wear yOu
out. Do NOT think because irritating snufs,
drying fumigafors, strong caustic or poieon-
ous solutions have failed to cure you that You
cannot be cured. The world moves and med
ical science Is progressive. Many forms Of

CATARRH.
It's SyaPasus. Rational Treasoseat,
ood Cure
Statistics show that over one hundred
thousand persons annually die in this coun-
try Of consumption, and there is the highest
medical authority tor saying that with fully
one half If not two thirds of this number, the
disease first commences As Atarrh in the
nose or head, the next step being to the
throat and bronchial tubes-lastly the lungs.
Mental imbecility and insanity are also
among the frequent results of this very prev
alent disease. Catarrh, then, although usl-
ally considered trivial affair, is really one
of the most serious diseases to which human
ity il liable; not because it is dangerous in
itself, but because of the fatal and dreadful
maladies to which it gives rise.
An eminent medical writer says:
Thousands are dying in the morning of
life, with consumption, who can look back
q few months to q time when It was nothing
but Catarrh. Neglected when . cure was
possible, it has steadily transformed the fea-
lures of health and youth into the dull, wan
listiemnese Of premature age, whilethe huck-
ing cough, the torrent Of blood rushing from
the lungs, or debilitating night sweats, pro-
claim, significantly that il is too late, and
that q neglected Catarrh ends in the grave"
SYMPTOMS OF CArARRH.
In consequence of frequent attacks of acute
Catarrh or "cold in the head, a. II is usually
termed, the mucous membrane of the nose
and air passages of the head become perma-

glands diseased, and their functions either
destroyed or very much deranged. Although
Chronic C.tarrh il most commonly brought
on in the manner above stated, it sometimes

The following account of fire near St.
Joseph we clip from the Herald:
Yesterday morning, soon after midnight,
the large steam Touring mill, owned by Mr..
Carder, a son-in-law of Geo. G. H. Brand of
this city, was discovered to be on fire, and
was burned with all its contents. The mill
was between this city and Taos, about twelve
miles distant, and was familiarity known as
the Davidson Mill" There were 500
bushels of wheat, 60 sacks of flour and 600
bushels of corn in the mill, all of which is a
total loss. The loss cannot be less than s., >
900. Insured for half that amount.

Wholesale houses was not a success, for the
reason that the house that employed no trav-

er. Among the houses of this class is that of
Day, Allen & Co., Chicago, who prefer to
publish their business through widely circu-
lated journals than be compelled to add to
the price of their goods to pay enormous
travelling expenses. This is one Of the heav-
