IMP Or TANT LET I b R
From a Distinguished Physician.

MO single disease has entailed more suffering or
IN hastened the breaking up of the constitution
than Catarrh. The sense Of SMELL of taste OF sight,
of hearing, the human voice, the mind, one or more
and some times all yield to its destructive influence
The poison it distributes throughout the system at
tacks every vital force, and breaks up the most
bust of constitutions Ignored because little UNDER
stood by most physicians, mpotently assailed by
quacks and charatans those suffering from it have
little hope to be relieved of it this side of the grave
1t is time then, that the popular treatment of this
terrible disease by remedies within the reach of all
passed into hands at CONF etent and trustwor-
thy. The new and hitherto pntried method adopted
by DR.. Sanford in the prepa alton of his RADICAL
CURE has won my heal ty approval believe it likely
to succeed when all the usual remedies fall because
1T strikes at the root of the diseased viz the acded
blood while it heals the liberated membrane by d-
Iect application to the nasal passages Its action is
based certain fixed rules, and unless the vital for
ces are too far exhausted must, in the great major
ity of cases, effect cure. GEO. BEARD, NJ. D.

POETRY.
The Wife's Reverie.


o Heart of mine, Is our estate
Our sweet estate-of joy assured?
1t came SO slow, it came so late,
Bought by such bitter pains endured;
Dare we forget those sorrows sore,
And think that they will come no more?
With fearful eyes can my face,
And doubt how he can find it falr;
Wistful, l watch each charm ana grace
i zee that other women wear;
OF all the secrets of loves lore,
i know but one, to love him more!
see each day, he grows more wise,
His life is broader far than mine;
must be lacking in his eyes,
In many things where others shine.
o, Heart! can we this loss restore
To him, by simple loving more?
/ often see upon his brow,
A look half tender and half stern;
His thoughts are far away, know;
To fath0m them, vainly yearn;
But nought is ours which went before;
o Heart! we can but love him more!
/ sometimes think that he had loved
An older, deeper love, apart
From this which later feebler moved
His soul to mine. o Heart! o Heart!
What can we de? This hurteth sore.
Nothing, my Heart, but love him more!
