aNasal Voices, Catarrh ana False

Teeth"
A prominent English woman says
the American women all have high,
shrill. nasal voices and false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant
twitting they get about this nasal
twan8, and yet It is q fact caused by
our dry stimulating atmosphere, and
the universal presence Of catarrhal
difficulties.
But why should so many of our
women have false teeth ?
That is more of a poser to the English.
It is quite impossible to account for it
on the theory Of deranged stomach
action caused by imprudence in eating
and by want of regular exercise.
Both conditions are unnatural.
Catarrhal troubles everywhere pre-
vail and end in cough and consump-
tion, which are promoted by mal-nu-
triton induced by deranged stomach
action. The condition is modern
one, one unknown to our ancestors
who prevented the catarrh, cold,
cough and consumption by abundant
and regular use Of what is now known
as Warmers Log Cabin cough and
consumption remedy and Log Cabin
sarsaparilla, two old fashioned STAN
dard remedies handed down from our
ancestors, and now exclusively put
forth under the strongest guarantees
Of purity and efficacy by the world
famed makers OF Warmers safe cure.
These two remedies plentifully used as
the fall and winter seasons advance,
together with an occasional use of
Warmers Log Cabin rose cream, to
strengthen and protect the nasal men,
branes, give a positive assurance Of
freedom, both from catarrh and those
dreadful and if neglected, inevitable
consequences, pneumonia, lung trou-
bles and consumption, which SO gener-
ally and fatally prevail among our peo-
pie.
Comrade Eli Fisher, of Salem,
Henry Co., Iowa, served four years in
the late war and contracted a disease
called consumption by the doctors.
He had frequent hemorrhages. After
using Warmers Log Cabin cough and
consumption remedy, he says, under |
date 6f Jan. 10Th, 1888: ST do not |
bleed at the lungs any more. my cough |
does not bother me, and ! do not have
any Tnore smotbering SPELLS" War |
ner's Log Cabin rose cream cured his
wife Of catarrh and she is sound and
well.n Gaa
OF course we do not like to have our
women called nose takers and false
teeth owners, but these conditions can
be readily overcome in the manner in
1icated.

A Prominent Merchant in Trouble.

A Prominent Merchant in Trouble
Ola moneybags mopes in his office all day,
As snappish and cross as bear;
The clerks know enough to keep out OF his
way,
Lest the merchant should grumble and
swear.
Even Tabby, the cat. is in fear of cuff,
Or kick, if she ventures to near;
They all know the master is apt to be rongh
And his freaks unexpected and queer.
What makes the old merchant so surly and
grim,
And behave so contoundly mean?
There's certainly something the matter
with him
Is it stomach, or liver, or spleen
We've guessed this liver is sluggish and
bad.
His blood is disordered and foul.
It's enough to make anyone hopelessly mad
And greeth his best friend with growl.
The worldwide remedy, DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, will cor
rect disordered liver and purify tht
blood, tone your system and build vi
your flesh and strength.
