Boats. Bicycles and Hay Fever.

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 victims
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 pitable 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 mountain air. These only
tighten the pocket and leave the
disease undated. But there is
a positive cure in Ely's Cream Balm.
We could cram these columns with
grateful letters Of the rescued. Try
it and join them. If you continue
to suffer it is because you neglect a
remedy as sure as. it is cheap and
pleasant. 50 cents.
