In a recent article in the Youths COM
panion, on How to Cure a Cold" a
writer advises a hot lemonade to be taken
at bed time. 1t is a dangerous treatment
as it opens the pores of the skin and
leaves the system in such condition that
another and more severe cold is certain
to be contracted. Many years constant
use and the experience of thousands of
persons has fully demonstrated that there
is nothing better for a severe cold than
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1t acts
In perfect harmony with nature, relieves
the lungs, ~liquiies the tough tenacious
mucous, making it easier to expectorate,
and restore the system to a strong and
healthy condition. For sale by B. B.

You may sing of the beauty Of sprinrtime

You may sing Of the beauty Of springtime
That glows on the cheek of the young,
But | sing of beauty that's rarer
Than any of which you have sung.
The beauty that's seen in the faces
Of women whose summer is Ger,
The autumn-like beauty that charmed us
Far more than the beauty of yore
But this beauty is seen too rarely. The
faces of most women lose the beauty OF
youth too soon. Female disorders are like
frosts which come to nip the flowers which
betoken good health, without which there
can be no real beauty If our American
women would fortify themselves against the
approach of the terrible disorders so preva-
lent among them, by using DR.. Pierce's
Fayorite Prescription, their good looks will
be retained to ''sweet old age" This rem.
edy is a guaranteed cure for all the distress
ing weaknesses and arrangements peculiar
to women

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local application, as they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucus lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets iniamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucus surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by Catarrh) that we
can not cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure.

Rheumatism

According to the best authorities, originates in

by the decomposition of the gelatinous and albumin
tissues, circulates with the blood and attacks
the brous tissues particularly in the joints, and
thus the local manifestations of the disease
The back and shoulders the parts usually affected
by rheumatism and the joints at the knees, ankles,
hips and wrists also sometimes attacked. Thous
ands of people have found in Hoods Sarsaparilla
positive and permanent cure for rheumatism. This
medicine, by its purifying and vitalizing action
the blood, eorects the Of the disease and it
also gives strength to every function of the body If
you suffer from rheumatism try Hoods Sarsaparila.

the vlndlctive miners had condemned
him; they had sat on his body and pass

the smouldering coal; one half of him
was charred away when MOnckt0n
found him, but his face was yet I'M
touched. Two sturdy miners walked
to and fro as sentinels, armed with
hammers, and firmly resolved that
neither law nor gospel should interfere
with this horrible example.
Even Monckton, the man of iron
nerves. started back with cry Of dis
