H A w A TIA N
CATARRH REMEDY.
Il DiSdgPeedbfe Disease 41rOided
ami cured Oy its use.

The reccip; for making this WONDERFUL REMEDY
was obtained by James j. Peavey. while living in
Honolulu. Hawaiian Island, where he resided for more
than twelve years.
Mr. Peavey at that time, was suffering from catarrh,
and with many doubts to the curative properties
of this remedy, he compounded n small quantity, aud
began to- directed. To his surprise and JOY he
found relief after the first trial, and in short time
he entirely cured.
Mr.. Peavey afterwards put this remedy up In small
quantities and sold and gave ii away to his friends
but not until recently has he consented to have il
prepared and thoroughly introduced TO the world.
Ii is relief and cure for Catarrh in its worst
forms.
One trial of the remedy is its best testimonial.
Sure relief is within the reach of all who willing
to give ii a single trial.
1t is harmless, convenient to take AT any time, and
its good effects TO be felt soon the rem
edy is applied.
This is entirely different from any other snuff on
the market, every pertice Is dissolved as soon rs
il comes in contact with the delicate membranous
coatngs that line the nasal passages, acting as II
does directly upon the mucus membrane.
DO not delay another day, but send rs ceuts and
obtain IA sample box by return mail
Fs-For sale by all Druggists.

the ship; when 1t rises on wave va
cuum is produced In the cylinder. the
foul air In the vessel PUSHES In to supply
this vacuum. and the descending motion
expels the air by another set OF valves. The
action Of the valves is similar to that OF the
valves In pump. and the apparatus keeps up
the circulation OF the air through the ship
about as the circulation of the blood is main
tanned by the heart. In the experiments made
on board the Talapoosa the sea was not rough
enough to cause much vertical motion. the
greatest rise and fall OF the ships stern not ex-
ceedng ten inches. but the results were suffl-
GENTLY conclusive to Justify the most favorable
opinions, both as to the capacity OF the appa-
ratus to ventIIate a vessel and to purify II by
ventilation. This apparatus has already been
used to some extent on Baltimore vessels, and
has given great satisfaction, especially ~ con-
noction with vessels In the West India fruit
trade. the cargoes arriving In much better
condition In the ships having the apparatus
than Is usual.

much more. The profits OF the smaller mills
for the quarter range from 10000 to $40 900; and
there is not mill In the city that is not better
