SOME STARTLING FACTS.
The Discovery of the Cause of Most On.
timely Deaths that Come upon
the Community.

The official returns of the City Of New York show
that nearly three-fourths of all deaths are from
consumption. When We stop to calmly think over
this fact it is really awful. And yet every case
without exception started from small beginnings.
cough in the morning; tickling i'll the throat ;
thick phlcgmy discharge chilliness at night
cihCult breathing; a tightucss across the chest ;
these and many more symptoms indicate the pres
ence Of that terrible disease which, unless checked,
means certain death with long and painful suffer-
ing
In view Of such serious and everprescnt facts
tie suggestions and advice Of the most eminent
physicians Of the greatest value.
DR.. John Gardner, of the most eminent ply
sicians in London, says Science common sense,
Holy Scriptures and all experience testify to the
benefits derived from the use of pure whiskcy."
Dr. D. H. Barker says Il have used and exam
med Dufy's Pure Malt Whiskey. and find it the
best ever tried"
Dr. S. N. BuckwslteT says "Dufy's Pure Malt
Whtskey is, without doubt the invalid's drink when
Etmulants are indicated, and l ind all chronic
cases require stimulants, and large per cent Of
the acute ones also"
These truths from the lips Of the leading scientific
men OF the day, and confirmed By the experience
or men and women well known in the community
should serve as a guide for all who feel the APP
preach Of consumption no matter by what path it
may come. We do not hesitate 10 assert that any
man or women who will use Dufy's Pure Malt
Whisky according to directions can defy consuup-
ton and prolong life WITH ali its blessings.

CATARRHAL DANGERS

To be freed from dangers of sufOcatiOns
while lying down; to breathe freely. sleep
soundly and undisturbCd; to rise refreshed
head clear, brain active and free from pain or
ache; 10 know that no poisonous, putrid mat
ter denies the breath and rOts away the deli
cate machinery of smell taste and hearing; TO
feel that the system does not, through its
veins and arteries, suck up the poison that is
sure to undermine and destroy, is indeed a
blessing beyond all other human enioyments
To purchase immunity from such fate
should be the object of all afflicted
But those who have tried many remedies and
physicians despair o. relief of cure.
SANFORD'S RADICAL CURE meets every
phase of Catarrh from simple head cold to
the most lOathsOme and destructive stages 1t
is local and constitutional. Instant in reIiey-
ing, permanent in curing, safe, economical
and never-faiing.
SANFORD'S RADICAL CURE consists of one
bottle of the radical CURE, one box OF

HALER, all wrapped IN one package with

Clayton did not yet see that
he was dealing with man, who
would ruin anyone, even his
best friend to gain his ends.
Michael, who was still behind the
curtains, could hardly keep from pounc-

called him. His hand was stretched
out in the act of putting the curtains
aside to enter and denounce him, but
