child. On reaching home and acquain-
ting his wife with what he had done,
she refused to have it administered to
the child, as she was strongly in favor
of Homeopathy. That night the child
passed in suffering, and the parents
without sleep. Returning home the
day following. the father found the
baby still worse; and while contem-
plating another sleepless night, the
mother stepped from the room to at
tend some domestic duties, and left
the father with the child. During her
absence he administered a portion of
the Soothing Syrup to the baby. and
said nothing. That night all hands
slept well, and the little fellow awoke
in the morning bright and happy.
The mother was delighted with the
sudden and wonderful change, and
although at first offended at the de-
ception practiced npon her has contin-
ued to use the Syrup. and suffering
crying babies and restless nights have
disappeared. A single trial of the Sy-

Catarrhal t
POT s ON

Wei De Meyers Treatise On Cata TT b
explains the following important facts:
1. That Catarrhal Colds become poi
sonous infection, st first local. and finally
constitutional.
3. That, being Constitutional. the infection is
beyond the reach OF mere local remedies.
8. That Impurities in the nostril', are
necessarily swallowed into the stomach and
inhaled into the lungs, thus poisoning the
Digestive, Respiratory and Genito-urinAry organs
T. That Catarrhal virus follows the mu-
cous membrane and causes Deafness. Dyspepsia, 4,
Chronic Diarrhea, Bron chitis, Leucorrhea
and Consumption,
s. That Smokes, Douches, Inhalations, and
Insoluble Snuffs, cannot possibly remove in
ecttous infammations from the organs named.
6. That an 7antidote 1or Catarrh must pos
sess an inocuIative affinity for, and the quality
of being absorbed by, the purulent mucous
wherever located.

German i'm the Public Schools.

In St Louis 15629 children OF German parents,
and ASH children of parents of other rationale
ties are studying the German language in the
public schools. The taxpayers of that city have
been vainly endeayoring to rid themselves of
this burden. as they consider it, and confine the
public schools to the English language. This
question has been an issue in every election for
members of the school board for years past. and
though the sentiment in favor of the abolition of
German has increased, it has not yet been strong
enough to win. At one time the opponents of
the German attachment to the schools presented
petitions to the board from Irish. French.
Spanish, and Italian citizens, praying that
these languages be taught for the bene
ut of their children. respectively. if German was
to be continued The experiment of teaching
German in the public schools of Washington was
tried some years ago, but was discontinued on
account of its expense, and for the reason that
1t was not considered an essential feature of the
public school system.
