Nature has resolved that all the people shall not enjoy themselves at once. With the opening of the season of outdoor sports
 comes the time of trouble for the poor vic-
 tins of hay fever. For them flowers have no odor, and the summer little or no beauty. To snuff, sneeze and wipe their weeping eyes for three or four successive months :-this is their pitiable portion. Whether this form of catarrh is called hay fever, hay cold, rose cold or rose fever, makes no difference they suffer just the same. There is no help in sea voyages, there is no help in high noun tain air. These only tighten the pocket and leave the disease unabated. But there is 8 positive cure in Ely's Cream Balm. We could cram these columns with grateful let ters of the rescued. Try it and join them. If you continue to suffer it is because you neglect remedy as sure as it is cheap and pleasant. je15 eod&w2w.
