CATARRH.
Catarrhal Deafness = Hay Fever a
New Home Treatment.

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, orthat they
are due to the presence of living para
sites in the lining membrane of the nose
and eustachian tubes. Microscopic re-
search, however, has proved this to be
fact. and the result of this discovery is
that simple remedy has been formula
ted whereby catarrh, catarrhal deafness
and hay fever are permanently cured in
from one to three simple applications
made at home by the patient once in
wO weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not smut
or an ointment; both have been discard
ed by reputable physicians as injurious.
A pamphlet explaining this new treat
ment is sent on receipt of three cents in
stamps to pay postage by A. III. Dixon
& Son, 337 and 800 West King Street,
Toronto, Canada.-Christian Advocate.
Sufferers from Catarrh troubles should
carefully read the above.

w alter Lilies.

The water lilies of our ponds and bays
and streams are the objects OF unceasing
admiration by the thousands of summer
visitors at the water resorts. What
more beautiful, what object more typical
of purity than these great white lilies
with hearts of gold set in clear cool
water? If plants and trees and flowers
call cut the heart OF the Worshipper, as
they have from time immemorial, what
more worthy OF our sincere alteration
than pure water lilies without stain or
spot Or blemish; even though winds may
blow and storms agitate the waves, yet
always floating at the surface these
beautiful forms remain steadfast, glow
ing with purity, like immortal truth.
Long before this continent was dis
covered, the water lily Was sacred plant
with the inhabitants of India and Egypt,
where it is still held in the highest esteem
and affection. The eastern forms of
Nymph@a are comprised in several species
of different colors. Our OWN. tuberosa,
takes on q pink or rosy tint in few
native localities. Most OF our readers
know how easilyN. tuberosa can be raised
and bloomed in an artificial pond or a
tank or tub of water. The cultivation
of the foreign species is made feature of
some floral establishments, and the en-
craving on the preceding page shows
the interior OF the aquatic house in con-
nection with the range of orchid and rose
houses at the garden of W. S. Kimball,
of this city. This house, which is about
twenty by fifty feet, is furnished with a
cement tank of all average depth of about
two feet, but somewhat deeper at the
centre than the Sides In this tank are
growing and blooming numerous plants
of Water Lily, the principal ones being
the beautiful white N. dentata and the
rosy pink colored ones N. rubra and N.
Deroniana, whose flowers are from six to
eightinches in diameter. These are all

a slight BLUSH tinge. TEesespecies bloom
in the summer and rest during the winter.
The central portion of the tank is oc
cupied by the magnificent N. Zanzibar
ensis rosea and N. Zanzibarensis azurea,
strong growing plants with very large
flowers and which bloom in the day time
and at all seasons OF the year. One end
of the tank is partitioned off for Nelum-
blum speciosum, whose strong roots if

Extra InduCelnOnt Sale.

SUR season for selling winter
- goods is getting short. We
must carry over stock or "extra
induce" buyers. We therefore
decide by timely sacrifice to con-
vert goods into cash, by giving
this unusual discount:
Tioe'ty per cent. off from regular
marked prices, ,oljch giges the buyer
goods at net cost.
During thirty-three years of
BUSINESS it is our proud record to
have won a reputation for avoid
ing all misrepresentation and
keeping all our promises, and this
is not one low bait-price to catch
average profits, but is a well
defined, broad gauge policy to
''extra induce" buyers, and turn
a long winters stock in a short
season.
This 20 per cent. discount in
cludes our entire stock of Ready
made Clothing-with Blue and
Black goods, at ten per cent.

Baby Coaches. We have a
little book illustrating forty
one of them that will be sent
for the asking.
We've no pet among the
Coaches. All the sorts at a
glance-YON do the choosing.
But we have got up two or
three Special Coaches so that
handling extra big lots permits
extra low prices. Here's one
for $I8. We never had its
equal before under $2I; we
don't know of its match out
side under $23. Look at it.
Rattan body of fancy scroll
work, side pockets, coil
springs (rear pair douhle)
fiat spokes, Richmond brake,
plush upholstery, neatly lined
parasol. Comfortable, cosy,
and as handsome a turnout
as any baby need care for.
Upholstered in either gend-
arme, olive, garnet, terra
Gotta, or golden-brown.
OF course we build any sort
of a Coach you say and up
holster it to your mind, but
not one in a hundred will inn
agine anything better than we
have ready made.
For any taste-down to a
neat, strong, slightly Coach al
