10 learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall S
Cstarrh Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly up
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work. The
propretors have so much faith in its cura-
tive powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure.

Pancakes and fritters
Say the bells of St. Peters.

In Chambers Book Of Days we find the
well known story of the sentinel whose
life was saved by the incorrect striking OF
st. Paul's clock. ]. H., who died June
Is, ITO, at the age Of 1902, was, when a
soldier, in the time of William and Mary
tried by court-martial for having fallen
asleep when on duty upon the terrace at
Windsor. He denied the charge, declar.
ing as a proof that he heard 81. Paul's
clock strike thirteen! Fortunately several
persons had heard it also, and the man
life was saved. The bell that struck on
this important occasion was Tom, Of
Westminster, and it is suggested that
such thing might have happened
through stiffness or some mechanical OBJ
stacles. The truth of the story has beer
doubted, many persons believing that St
Paul's clock could not be heard at Wind
sor, but Sir Edward Beckert thinks il
might have been heard and gives instances
in confirmation of his opinion, adding
that nobody has yet solved the problem
why a wind-which you can hardly feel
