Ca atarrhal
PO IS ON

Wei De Meyers Treatise on Catarrh,
explains the following important facts:
/. That Catarrhal Colds become poi
sonous infection, at first local, and finally
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, Leucorrhna
and Consumption,
s. That Smokes, Douches, Inhalations, and
Insolubie snuffs, cannot possibly remove in
fectious inf1ammations from the organs named.
g. That ansantidote ior Catarrh 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. It not only re1eaves, IT cures
Cstarrh at anv stage. Home testimony:

The Biz Par Of French Cooks.


The French cooks, meaning the cleft

are said to occupy very enviable posi-
tion, And to have = most exalted opinion
of themselves. They represent art, in
heirlown Judgment, as much as painters,
sculptors, poets, or composers do, and
have pride in their vocation which
they are fond of discussing, explaining
and glorifying. "A number of so-called
French cooks are Swiss and Italian, and
the members of the profession" have.
increased of late, particularly within .
year The high salaries attainable here
tempt chefs even from Paris, which they
regard as the center of the universe, and
which nothing but prospective riches
would induce them to surrender. They
do not earn there 'one-quarter what they
earn here. In Paris 5000 or 5000
francs year is considered a handsome
Precompense; butpsin New York, they
are paid munifcentiy, far more SO than
the majority of statesmen, accountants,
Journalists, physicians, literatteurs, or
clergymen. Their salaries range from
$4,000 to S., 600 and SC, 900, Many priI
