manifested by some of the dealers, result

obligations of the firm will not exceed

Ca tarrhal
POI s ON

Wei De Meyers Treatise ON Catarrh
explains the following important facts:
l. That Catarrhal Colds become poi-
sonous infection, at first local, and finally
constitutional.
2. That, being Constitutional, the infection ia
beyond the reach Of mere local remedies.
g. That Impurities in the nostrils, are
necessarily swallowed into the stomach and
inhaled into the lungs, thus poisoning the
Digestive, Respiratory and GeDito-urinary organs.
4. That Catarrhal virua follows the mu-
cous membrane and causes Deafness. Dyspepsia,
Chronic Diarrhna, bronchitis, Leucorrhea
and Consumption.
5. That Smokes, Douches, Inhalations, and
Insoluble Snuffs, cannot possibly remove in
ectious inhamm atoms from the organs named.
6. That ansantidots ior Cstarrh must pos
sess an inocu1ative affinity for, and the quality
of being absorbed by, the purulent mucous
wherever located.
Based upon these plain theories, DR..
Wei De Meyers Catarrh Cure has proved
infallible. 1t not only re1eaves, it cures

it?'' To solve it is by no means an easy
task, and glance at the endless array and in
finite variety with which our stores abound,
seems only to confuse, and despair almost fol-

What we can do is direct them to the best
known houses and choicest stocks, and this we
do by calling their attention 10 the Holiday

This week we have only space for general
reference, but in our next issue we shall give
