S WORN STATEMENT
OF A
BOSTON DRUGGIST.

Gentlemen Il hereby certify that I have had
Cstarrh for ten years, and for the last six years
have been a terrible sufferer. Twas rendered par
tally deaf had buzzing in the head, pains across
the temple, dizzy spells, weak and painful eyes,
swollen and liberated tonsils, hard and constant
cough, severe pain across the chest and every in
dication of consumption. My head ached all the
time. The matter accumulated so rapidly in my
head and throat that could not keep them free.
Frequently at night would spring out of bed, it
seemed to me- at the point of suffocation. would
then have recourse to every means in my power to
dislodge the mucus from my throat and head be-
fore being able to sleep again. For period Of six
years my tonsils were liberated and so much in
famed that could with difficulty swallow. fin
ally consulted an eminent surgeon in regard to an
operation on them, but at his request postponed it,
Inc constant inflammation and liberation in my
throat caused by the poisonous matter dropping
down from my head had so irritated and infamed
my lungs that coughed incessantly-a deep hard
cough. Meanwhile my system began to show the
effects of this disease, so that lost flesh, grew
pale, and showed every symptom of an early death
Dy consumption. When matters had reached this
stage, or about six months ago, began the use of
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE FOR CATARRH. After
using the first bottle began to improve rapidly.
The first dose seemed to clear nv head as had not
known it to be for years. 1t seemed gradually to
arrest the discharges 1t stopped my cough in three
days. By using it as gargle soon reduced the
they soon ceased to trouble me. The soreness
across my chest disappeared the buzzing noises in
my head ceased, my senses of hearing and of seeing
disease that had reduced me to the verge of the
grave disappeared by the use of SANFoRD's RADI
CAL CURE FOR CATARRH.
1 have been thus explicit because, as a druggist,
have seen great deal of suffering from Catarrh,
and hope to convince many that this is great
remedy.
am familiar with the treatment of Catarrh
practised by the best physicians and have con-
suited the most eminent about my case, I have
used every kind of remedy and apparatus that have
appeared during period of six years past, and
have while following their use, taken great of
my general health, but obtained no relief. or
cOuragement from any of them
Since curing myself with SANFoRD's RADICAL
CURE have recommended it in over one hundred
cases without single of failure, and have in
numerous instances received wholesale orders from
parties to whom have sold bottle. This is the
only patent medicine have ever recommended,
never having believed in them before, although
constantly engaged in their sale

p DIR. Holland, who writes nothing
without moral bearing, has, we under
stand, chosen in his current novel of
nicholas Minturn" to deal with some
of the difficulties of the condition and
treatment of the poor in the great cities.
This pressing question has long had his
earnest study, as his late Scribner edi-
torial on Cramps" indicated: and
there are further suggestions of his
opinion in letter in the N. Y. Tribune
concerning sad case of death of IA child
on the streets. The babe was frozen on
the breast of its mother, whom drunk
en- husband had turned out of doors.
DR.. Holland, while abiding to the i'm
positions of unworthy pauperism, lays
the blame directly at the doors of those
who support the municipal policy of Ii
censing grog-shOps.

SAFETY FROM RATS AND MEGA. J..
Willard, of San Mateo County, Califor-
MIA, gives very simple, and, in his
experience, a very effective safeguard
against rats and mice. He takes two
round pieces of tin, like the bottom of
fruit can, punches hole in the center
of each piece, and strings them on a
strong wire, one near each end. Then
he stretches the wire from side to side
of room and fastens each end firmly.
Anything which is hung upon the wire
between the plates of tin is safe from
the rats, for if they walk out upon the
wire, every time they try to mount the
circle of tin, it revolves and they can
not pass over it. Mr.. Willard has
found the simple continuance very use
full in saving meat, grain, etc., and ad-
vises all farmers to try it.

p A brave boy, Edmond Waterton
COningsby Erskine, aged fifteen, son of
the late Hon. J. A. Erskine, has been
awarded a testimonial by the Royal
Humane Society for plunging into a
strong tide, encountered by his cloth

two little girls of eleven and twelve.
At Halifax, N. S., a few days ago, a
boy of eleven outdid this by leaping
from a wharf during strong ebb, and
bringing back child of nine distance

tanned himself and his burden till as

CIRCULAR SAWS
Made Without Hammerine

The "SIMONDS" are Strengthened by
means of heat and pressure, and lOithOIt hammer.
ing, and are warranted superior to hammered saws
for the following reasons:
The success of the process requiring a uniform
heat, insures perfectly uniform temper and hev
file and set in a more satisfactory manner.
Being free from uneven strain or buckle, they
stand up to their 1UOrk better.
AS the steel is left in natural condition by this
process, the retain their original shape or posi-
ton, they are reduced IN size, thus avoiding the
necessity of re-hammering.
Being made of higher quality of steel than it
is practical to by the old method, they hold an
edge better.
Large circular mill saws can be run at any rea
sOnable speed with equally good results-saws 50
inches in diameter having been tested from 400 to
1850 turns minute, with perfect sati. faction
while hammered saws must be hammered differ
emily for different speeds
The "SIMONDS" saws received at the Centen
NAL, medal, diploma and the following report Of
the Board of Judges
Circular Saws of beautiful finish and form, and
originality IN the method Of MANUFACTURE"
4 trial of the 'SIAIONDS'' saws will satisfy any
mill man that he cannot afford to use hammered
saws.
