1t is ordained that man shall help his fellow

but with equal force does it strike the professional
and commercial industries of every community.
IL is mete that honest qualifications should have
ascribed to them their proper credit. This is es-
pecially the case with the physician, whose field
OF labor is highly responsible one. 1t affords
ample opportunities for the display of those char
acteristics that nval ably belong to the physician
DIR. Nicholls's practise as specialist ranks him
among the most skilful and successful that has

A WARNING.

The modes of deaths approach are various and
statistics show conclusvely that more persons die
from diseases of the Throat and Lungs than any
other. 1t is probable that everyone, without ex-
ception, receives vast numbers of Tubercle Germs
into the system, and where these germs fan upon
suitable soil they start into life and develop, at
first slowly, and is shown by slight tickling SEN
sation in the throat, and If allowed to continue
their ravages they extend to the lungs producing
Consumption, and to the head, causing Catarrh.
Now all this is dangerous, and If allowed to pro-
ceed will, in time, cause death. At the onset you
must act with promptness; allowing a cold to go
without attention is dangerous, and may lose you
your life. AS soon as you feel that something is
wrong with your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, OBJ
