The Important Question.

OF all loathsome diseases Catarrh stands
pre- eminent. 1t renders its victim dis
gushing to himself as to others. And the
most humiliatng of all is the consciousness
that his presence is offensive to those around
him. If any disease deserves the name of
universal it is this. Dietetic errors and the
tolies which Fashion imposes upon us tend
to foster and disseminate it, TO the pitiiuI
cry of its victims, is there any cure tor Ca
torrh ? there is but one answer consistent
with Christian reason. God has never sent
one evil into the world for which he has not
sent the remedy. For the greatest of all
spiritual and moral evils, the Grsa, Physician
has prescribed a potent and never failing
remedy. He has given explicit rules for the
treatment and preservation of the spiritual
and moral man. but He is silent in all mat
tiers relating to the physical man. 1t would
be an unwarrantablc detraction from His be-
nefcent character to suppose that He has
afflicted the greater portion of humanity with
an incurable disease. Tho day of plaques is
past. The God of Christianity is a God of
Love, of Mercy, His message is "good will
to all men," The earth and oil contained
therein was intended by the great Designer
to supply mans wants and surely he has NO
greater wants than remedies for his infirmities.
Science is rapidly proving that the earth is
fitted to supply mans uttcrmost need. Now
medicinal plants are constantly being dis
covered and new properties developed from
those already known. For Catarrh, the most
potent remedy yet discovered is DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. Its efficacy has been tested
in many thousand cases with uniform success.
Cases tina. had been repeatedly pronounced
incurable, readily yielded to it, In confirmed,
or obstinate cases, DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
