Catarrhal
POI s ON

Wei De Meyers Treatise on Catarrh.
explains the following important facts:
1. That Catarrhal Colds become poi
sonous infection, at first local, and fnslly
constitutional.
2. That, being Constitutional. the Infection Is
beyond the reach Of mere local remedies.
8. That Impurities in the nostrils, are
necessarily swallowed into the stomach and
inhaled into the lungs, thus poisoning the
Digestive, Respiratory and Genito-urinary organs.
4. That Catarrhal virus follows the mu-
cous membrane and causes Deafness. Dyspepsia,
Chronic Diarrhea, Bronchitis, Leucorrhea
and Consumption,
5. That Smokes, Douches, Inhalstions, and
Insoluble Snuffs cannot possibly remove in
fectious infammations from the organs named.
6. That ausantidote Tor 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, Or.
Wei De Meyers Catarrh Cure has proved
infallible. 1t not only reIeaves, it cures
Cafarrh at auy stage. Home testimony:

Occupations for Women.

The Chicago Times is for paying at
tention to the ladies in a manner both
substantial and chivalrous. 1t says :
"The fact of the matter is that any
able-bodied man who, in any public
Office is filling place which can just
as we'll filled by woman, is man
who must be lacking in self-respec.,
and who for very shame's sake ought
to resign in favor of some woman, and
then go to work and earn nm honorable
livelihood in some other direction" "
1t is not likely the male sex will soon
become so sublimated as to guard their
self-respect by willingly resigning po-
sition to make room for the weaker
sex. Against such commendable
sacrifice the vulgar wants and appetites
of mankind place an unsurmountabse
barrier. Theorize as you please on
what should be tho leading principles
of action, man possesses too much in
common with the lower animals to al
low such a sacrifice as the Times con-
ders essential to self-respect. Society
furnishes the standard for self respect,
and society is lorded over by man.
How does it protect, not to say favor
woman? Notwithstanding the guilt,
degradation and wretchedness that
follow the course of the libertine, blast

were then exclusively men apd he was
pleased to see how extensively women
had since become employed as such,
and how efficient they generally were,
Mrs. Slooum said that the delegation
desired a decided expression from him
as to whether he would or would not
veto any measure favorable to woman
suffrage that might come up before
him as president.

not come before the president. If

Mrs. Blake asked the general if he

would be bold man who would under.

"Then, general" said Mrs. Blake,
I'VE ask nothing more than what you
