CATARRH.
TWELVE YEARS
OF SUFFERING.

Gentlemen:-About twelve years ago, while trav-
cling with Father Kemp's Old Folks Concert Troupe
as tenor singer took cold and was laid up
at Newark, j. This cold brought ON severe at
tack OF Catarrh, which batted with every known
remedy for four weeks without avail and was finally
obliged to give up most desirable position and
turn home unable to sing note. For three years
afterwards was unable to Sing at all. The first at
tack OF Catarrh had left my nasal organs and throat
so sensitive that the slightest cold would bring on
fresh attack, leaving me Frustrated. In this way
continued to suffer. The last attack the severest
ever had, was terrible, suffered the most excruci-
atng pain in my head, so hoarse be scarcely
able to speak, and c0ughed necessarily. l thought
was going into quick consumption, and firmly be-
Heve that had these symptoms continued without re-
lief they would have rendered me easy victim.
When in this distressing condition, commenced the
use of SANFORD'S RADICAL CURE FOR CATARRH,
very reluctantly confess, had tried all the ad
vertised remedies without benefit The first dose of
this wonderful medicine gave the greatest relief
1t is hardly possible for one whose head aches eyes
ache, who can scarcely articulate distinctly &C.
count of the choking accumulations in his throat to
realize how much eef obtained from the first
application of SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE. Under
its influence, both internal and external rapidly
recovered, and by an occasional use of the remedy
since have been entirely free from Catarrh for the
first time in twelve years.

The London Agricultural Gazette pub
fishes the following lately ascertained chemi-
cal facts, condensed by that paper from the
, report made to the Board of Inland Revenue
by the Principal of the Chemical Laboratory
Somerset House, on experiments conducted
by him for the analysis of butter:
One hundred and seventeen samples were
tested, the result being that while few sam
pies were found to be very poor in quality,
few others exceptionally rich, the great
bulk examined were found to possess consid-
cradle uniformity of composition, the princ-
pal variations being apparently due to diff
ference in the method of manufacture, in the
different seasons of the year when made
and the various modes of feeding. As might
be expected, some of the poorest buffers were
produced by, and obtained from, small far
mers in Ireland, at time when there was
very little grass, and food was relatively in
It's essential continents when the food was
scarce. IL was also noticed that the butter
was relatively poorer in its essential constitu-
ents when the food was chiefly cotton and
oil-cake, than was the case when roots and
grass formed the staple food. A noticeable
feature in the results recorded is the GREAT
variation in the quantity of water in the
different buffers, the lowest being 10 per
cent. anu Inc nlSneSb ~. 20 per cent. The
Devon and Dorset buffers, which usually
stand so high in the market, were found to
contain in nearly all cases high percentage
of water. and one, procured from the
dairy of a private gentleman, contained as
much as 1899 per cent. and a second sam
pie, recently obtained from the same source,
contained 1910 per cent. Another point of
interest was in some measure elucidated, and
has reference to the deterioration which GER
tain buffers undergo when kept in small
quantities in glass or eathernware vessels.
1t was found that while some of the finest
and best prepared buffers under
60 little or no change. there is in others
gradual disappearance of the characteristic
principles of butter, and consequent assim-
ilation to the constitution CT an ordinary ami
NAL fat This change. which appears to be
due to an incipient fermentation, accompa-
MED by the development of fungi, is caused
either by the use of sour cream or by INSULT
Gent care in making butter.

The Cl0ister's Victim.
BY W. NJ. PRAED.

BY W. NJ. PRAED.
She was very pretty nun;
Sad, delicate, and five feet one;
Her face was oval, and her eye
Looked like the heaven in Italy,
Serenely blue and softly bright.
Made up of languish and of light!
And her neck, expect where the locks of brown,
Like a sweet summer mist, fell droopingly down,
Was as chill and as white the snow ere the earth
Has suled the hue of its heavenly birth;
And through the blue veins you might see
The pure blood wander silently,
Like noiseless eddies, that far below
In the glistening depths of a calm lake HOW
Her cold hands on her bosom lays
And her ivory crucifx, cold as they,
Was clasped in a fearful and fond caress,
As if she shrank from its holiness,
And felt that hers was the only guilt
For which no healing blood was split;
And tears were bursting all the while
Yet now and then vacant smile
Over her lips would come and go
very mockery Of woe
brief, wan smile-a piteous token
Vi warm love crushed, and yonng heart broken
