CATARRH.-The best way TO deal with the dis

wholesome food, to live in clean, weil-venti-

shoes on are almost certain to contract Ca

duces constant chiliness which is dangerous

so prevalent among them.

can often tell by their feelings In the morning

sure as the Inhalation OF a dose Of laughing
gas. This produces a profound impression
on the nervous system, and affords instant
relief, which may last for days and
weeks. An Albany physician found upon In

arose from malposition OF the eyes, by which
the nerves Of the eyes were strained and neu-

synpathiZing nerves. His cure for the dis

spoonful when needed; stop taking when the
pain ceases.
