Jolly existence, and this being the Centen-
ial year of our national independence, the
publishers take pride in saying that it will

hind the times in holdin4hpl therhaGorous
or satirical side of everything American
The merry side of this great aud glorious
Centennial year will receive special attcn-
ton in the bright columns Of Americas ia
vorite humorous paper.
The publisher of IIM Oats point with
pride to the wholly unexampled success of
their paper, and, plcdging themselves that
it shall be in the future even better than in
the past. they ask a continuation of that
kind patronage which has placed it at the
head and front of American humorous papers.
We have made arrangements which will
enable us to present VIII Oats in Il bright

of its class is found; comprising occasional Sc
rial novels but chiefly the short stories and

''Eacts are Stubborn Things"
Thousands Of human beings are yearly borne on
the swift current of disease down to the grave Just
because they do not possess sufficient knowledge
Of themselves. A man meets his neighbor, and
the first SALVATION is, "How are you !" or "How is
your health 7" The reply frequently is, "Oh, am
well, with the exception of cold" Most per-
sops lightly regard cold. Reader, do you know
that cold Is one Of the most dangerous of mala-
dies A cold not only clogs up the pores Of the
entire system, and retards circulation but it is
productive Of Catarrh, which is quite apt to lead
to Consumption. "Oh," you say, ait IL nothing
but q cold in my head" True. but that cold i
in il course will become chronic. Catarrh is one
the catalogue Of diseases. The passage to the
nose 10 obstructed, the sense Of smell impaired
and there is disagreeable sensation Of pressure
in the head. In the more advanced stages, there

disease be allowed to continue in its course thick,
hard incrustatons will form in the head the bones
Of wh!ck sometimes become softened and break
away in pieces. Why will persons continue to
suffer from such an annoying, disgusting disease,
when they can just a. well be cured Of it Or.
Sage's Catsrrh Remedy will cure the worst forms
of Catarrh; in fact, it Is the only sure and safe
remedy which has yet been offered to the public.
Many harsh, irritating preparations may, for a
time. relieve the urgency Of the symptoms, but
they do not cure the disease. DR.. Sage's Catarrh
