Catarrhal Dancers.

To be freed from the dangers Of suffocation
while lying down; TO breathe freely sleep
soundly and undisturbeu; to rise refreshed,
head clear. brain active and free from pain or
ache; TO know that no poisonous, pntrid matter
deales the breath and rots away the delicate
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 un-
dermine and destroy, is indeed blessing be-
yond all other human enjoyments. To pur-
chase immunity from such fate should be the
object of all afflicted. But those who have
tried many remedies ahd physicians despair Of
rflief OF cure.
sANFoRD's RADICAL CURE meets every
phase of Catarrh, from simple head cold to the
most loathsome and destructive stages. It is
local and constitutional. Instant in relieving,
permanent in curing. safe, economical and
never-failing.
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE consists Of one
bottle of the RADICAL CURE, one box OF CA
TARRHAL SOLVENT. and one IMPROVED IN
HALER, all wrapped in one package. with

NO FEARS OF A REACTION.
So Say Henry CIews & Co.. Regarding the
Financial and Industrial Outlook
Great Development In the
Latter Line il Now



NEW YORK. December 29.-Henry Clews
& Co., in their financial circular, to be
issued tomorrow, will say: ''The year closes
with an unusually sound and satisfactory
condition of business, and this fact suggests
hopeful anticipations for 1890. There
is scarcely single industry or
branch of trade from which satisfactory
reports do not come 1t is true that the
West has some complaints about the low
prices of agricultural products; but tits not
to be overlooked that the harvest has been
an abundant one and that the extra yield
will compensate for the lowness of prices;
while the country at large will be benefited
ana its consumption of other articles in
creased by the cheapness of Western food
products.
There is every symptom that We are in
the midst of period OF great industrial de-
Velopment; and, so tar, there is no evidence
that production is going seriously ahead of
our consumptive capacity. The general
steadiness of prices shows that along with
the increasing production we have a
corresponding increase of consump-
tion, which prevents unhealthy
surpluses of products aud maintains a
wholesome relation between supply and de-
mand. Ordinarily, such state of things as
now exists would have led to an undue ex-
panslon OF business and to excessive specu-
latlve ventures; but at present the spirit of
business Is selfpossessed and conservative
II is also fact worth noting that the un-
equaled expansion of railroad building in
1886, 1887 and 1888 has not been followed
by any of that financial collapse which has
attended all like movements in former years
The only noticeable reaction has been a con-
traction for a few months in the demand for
steel rails and iron; but even that is disap.
pearing and the iron trade seems to be verg-
ing on q revival of extraordinary activity.
due to an increased demand from every
branch Of consumption.
eve enter upon 1890, therefore, with a
generally well-balanced condition Of affairs,
with our productive resources in full
activity, with prices low enough to admit
of large consumption and yet of fair
profits to producers, with generally har-
monious relations between employers and
employed, with a sound condition of
commercial credit, with a conservative
spirit among men of business, and
yet with an ample reserve of capital
available for investment in sound en-
terprises. Under such condition of
things, there can be little question about
the prospects of railroads. They are likely
10 60 beyond the large increases of both
gross and net earnings of the past year, and
having paid dearly for their experience in
reckless cutting their management may
be expected to be pacific and conservative"

CATARRH TO CONSUMPTION
a FesO of the Many Symptoms
of CGtGnTh, the FOre1.I1-
meT of Consumption.

Do you experience ringing or buzzing noises
in your earsf
Are yOu troubled with hacking cough and
general debility
Does your voice have a husky, thick sound
and nasal sort of twang?
Is your breath frequently offensive from some
unaccountable cause7
Have you dull, oppressive headache, gener-
ally located over the eyes?
Do you have to hawk and cough frequently
in the effort to clear your throat?
Are you losing your sense Of smell and hear
ing. and is your sense of taste becoming dulledf
Does your nose always feel stopped up,
forcing you to breathe through your mouth?
Are you annoyed by constant desire to
hawk and spit out an endless quantity OF
phlegm2
Is your throat filed with phlegm in the morn
ing, which can only be discharged after violent
coughing, and hawking, and spitting2
Are you troubled with discharge from the
head into the throat sometimes watery and ex-
cessive; sometimes mucus, thick, sticking TO
whatever it touches: sometimes bloody, and
nearly always putrid and offensivef
The Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute is per-
manently located at 323 Penn avenue for the
cure OF this disease. NJ Hartman speaks:

is sand territory. It was disagreeably ugly
territory when the canal came BY.
HOW THEY DREDGED IT.
The methods Of dredging were not near SO
good then as they are now. The way they
had to keep open the channel of the canal
Ess by running down little scoW boat, that
seooped out a few hundred tons Of sand.
Then they did not know what to do with
that sand when they got it These boats
would travel back and forth and try to ind
. place to dump. In other words they we're
robbing Paul good deal more than they
could pay Peter, because all this territory is
sandy on its surface.
Here comes the difficulty now. really
ought not to tell so much until I am ready
to tell it, but it is well it should be said
here With an average depth Of II feet IN
every inch OF ship canal; with, say, 100
miles that would need slack water, with
sandy soil, that would be continually pour
ing sand into that water sand something
would drop. You can see that as matter
of necessity, there would be q precipitation
of sand that would be a serious incon-
venience to a ship canal Dredge boats
must always be kept on q ship canal, such
as would be one running from Erie to
Pittsburg.
THEY STUCK IN THE SAND.
On the old canal there were some partieu-
larry bad places. Frequently dozen boats
would gather at the same point. because one
or two got stuck in the sand. IF there were
not enough horses to pull the first boat out
of the water and slide it along on the sandy
bottom, then it would have to be unloaded
until the cargo was light enough to be
moved. Buff there happened to be enough
horses the boat would be pulled through or
pulled to pieces, water or no water.
With a shallow canal gathering so much
sand in the slack water portions, how much
more would canal of Il feet in depth accu-
mulate? The character of the surrounding
soil is not going to be changed simply be-
cause the style of the canal is changed.
This precipitation will be one of the worst
difficulties which will be encountered by
ship canal. But it will not be so hard to
overcome as in the earlier days.

The sneeze gave him such intense pain that
his screams could have been heard a halt
