"FACT ARE sTUBBoRN THINGS

Thousands of human beings are yea rly borne
on the swift current of disease down to the grave
just because they do not possess a sufficient
knowledge of themselves. A man meets his
neighbor, and the first salutatiOn is, How are
your or " How is your health'" The reply fire.
quently is, "Oh, am well, with the exception
of Il cold" Most persons lightly regard cold
Reader, do you know that cold is one of the
most dangerous of maladies! A cold not only
clogs up the pores of the entire system, and re-
tards circulation, but it is productive of CatarrL
which is quite apt to lead to Consumption.
"Ob," you say, ait is nothing but a cold in my
head" True; but that cold is really mild form
of Catarrh and if not arrested in its course will
become chronic. Catarrh is one of the most dis
agreeable, offensive affections in the catalogue
of diseases. The passage to the nose is obstruc-
ted, the sense of smell impaired, and there is a
disagreeable sensation of pressure in the head
In the more advanced stages, there is a discharge
having an offensive odor. If the disease be al
lowed to continue in its course, thick, hard in.
crustations will form in the head, the bones of
which sometimes become sOftened and break
away in pieces. Why will persons continue to
suffer from such an annoying, disgusting 9 disease
when they can just as well be cured of iti Dr.
Sages's Catarrh Remedy will cnrc the worst
forms of Catarrh; in fact, il is the only sure and
safe remedy which has yet been offered to the
public. Many harsh, irritating preparations may
for time, relieve the urgency of the symptoms
but they do not cure the disease. Dr. SaSe's
Catarrh Remedy is soothing and healing in its
effect, and when used with DIR. Pierce's Nasal
DOuche, according to directions, does not fail to
effect cure. Sold by all Druggists.

The ANNALS OF KANsAs.-ThIs long promised
book has reached us at last, for which we are in
debted to George w. Martin, the publisher. A
notice cannot do it Justice. 1t contains pretty
much everything, from the earliest exploration
down to 1875. 1t is full of tables and statistics,
and short paragraphs of information boiled down.
10 see 1t, one can form an idea of the vast re-
search and labor that the author, D. W. Wilder,
has expended in preparing it. Almost every
thing that person wants to know of Kansas, is
contained in the pages of this work, of almost
700 pages. Tho work was done at the State
Printing House of George W. Martin, and is
equal to the best. The price of this vast collec-
tion of valuable information is only s., and ev-
cry man in Kansas should have it. We shall
frequently have occasion to refer to the work,
and make extracts from it.
