WASHINGTON, ID. O., Oct. 10, 1882.
My DEAR MIR. PERCY: have suffered
from Hay Fever during the last twe.ve
years. 1t sets in on the 18th of August,
annually, and terminates when frost ap-
pears. Have used several remedies but
without effect This year (1SS2) | have
used your preparation, which has enabled
me to attend to my business, which, before
using it, / could not do. The Asthma
from which had suffered so severely, and
which almost produced sutfocallon, has
been completely arrested by your valuable
medicine 1t is without doubt very ex-
celent specific for Autumnal Catarrh.
Yours truly, DAVID FLYNN.

How beautiful is the exhibition of
humanity in the young! A little boy
found a poor, halffrozen wasp in the
garret and placed it upon a chair be-
fore the parlor fire to thaw out. Sure
Iy the angels must have looked down
approvingly on such an act of kind
ness. When sister Mary's beau call
ed that evening he glanced at the
chair, and seating himself in it,
murmured: "Ah, bless her heart,
how thoughtful she is of my comfort" !"
Two minutes later there was so much
noise and racket in that parlor as if
it had been turned into den of de-
mons. The wasp had thawed out.
That is the reason Mary isn't married
yet.-Ex.
