SNEEZING CATARRH.

The distressing sneeze, sneeze, sneeze, the
acrid, watery discharges from the eyes and
nose, the painful Inflammation extendingt)
the throat, the swelling of the mucous
lining, causing choking sensations, cough,
ringing noises in the head and splitting
headaches, familiar these symptoms
are to thousands who suffer periodically
from head colds or influenza and who live
in ignorance of the fact that single APP
plication of SANFoRD'B RADICAL CURE FOR
CATARRH will afford instantaneous relief.
But this treatment in simple cases of
Catarrh gives but faint idea of what this
remedy will do in the chronic forms, where
the breathing is obsrtucted by choking,
putrid mucous accumulations, the hearing
affected, smell and taste gone, throat ul-
cerated and hacking cough gradually fas
tening itself upon the debilitated system.
Then ii is that the marvellous curative
power of SANFORD s RADICAL CURE maniiests
itself in lnstaneous and grateful relief.
Cure begins from the first application. 1t
is rapid, radical, permanent, economical,
safe.
SANFoRDs RADICAL CURE consists of one
bottle of the RADICAL CURE, one
box of CATARRHAL SOLVENT, and one I'M
PROVED INHALER; price, $l.00.

about three days. She was married when
sixteen years of age, at Rochester, n. Y,
to Rev. f. f. Gregory, and their lives were
thenceforth spent mainly in Michigan
Rev. Mr. Gregory was well-know Presby-
terrain clergyman, having held pastorates
i'm Monroe, Ann Arbor, Howell and Cor
unna, but the home the latter part of his
life was i'm Howell, at which place he died
about five years ago. Since that time Mrs.
Gregory has made her home chiefly with
her only daughter, Mrs. Turner. She was
very CHEEKY, remarkably young in spirits
and tastes for her years, lady of the old
school whom it is pleasant to remember,
and will be sadly missed from the home cir
Gle of her daughter. Besides Mrs. Turner,
she leaves an only son, Mr.. L. T.. Gregory,
of Howell. She was n sister of Mr.. Nc
KellOps, of Perry. Funeral services were
held at the residence Tuesday morning by
Rev. II. II. Davies, and the remains were

The Test Of Death.

If most people are afraid of anything it
is of being buried alive. That cases do
happen where it is very difficult even for
the most experienced physician to deter
mine whether a person is really or only
apparently dead without having recourse
to means which, while they would at once
settle the dispute. would place HE. if it
really still existed, In jeopardy, may be
Judged from the fact that the French
Academy of Sciences ten or fifteen years
ago offered a prize of {, 1000 francs for the
discovery of some means by which even
the inexperienced might Mt once deter
mine whether in a given case death had
ensued or rot. A physician obtained the
prize. He had discovered the following
well known phenomenan:-If the hand of
the suspected dead person is held toward
a candle or other artificial light, with the
fingers extended and one touching the
other, and one looks through the spaces
between the fingers toward the light
there appears a scarlet red color where
the fingers touch each other, due to the
blood still circulating, 1t showing itself
through the tissues which have not yet
congeated. When life is entirely extinct
