CATARRH.

This is the destructive and terrible stage of the
disease. The whole nasal passage, including the eyes
and ears, the tonsils, throat, bronchial tubes and
lungs become one after another affected, infamed,
monster. A peculiar acid is generated and set at
liberty by this disease, which, permeating the blood,
weakens and destroys its renovating power and al
lows the system opportunity to throw off the mall
ady until this poison is neutrazed and expelled 1t
is here that constitutional treatment becomes of the
most vital consequence "because unless arrested at
this stage the disease will make rapid progress
towards pulmonary consumption - Wdrren'S
ing and astrngent medicine must be applied Directly
to the nasal passages this forming the most perfect
treatment of the disease possible.

A Rose Song.

A Rose Song.
BY r. H. sToDDARD.
Why are roses red?
For roses once were white.
Because the loving nigtIngales
Sang on their thorns ali night
Sang till the blood they shea
Had dyed the roses red!
Why arc white roses white?
For roses once were red.
Because the sorrowing nightingaies
Wept when the night was hed,-
Wept till their tears of light
Had washed the roses white!
WHY are the roses sweet?
For once they had no scent.
Because one day the queen of love
Who to Adonis went,
Brushed them with heavenly feet
That made the roses sweet!
