BEWARE OF OINTMENTS FOR CA
TARRH THAT CONTAIN MERCURY.
as mercury will surely destroy the sense Of
smell and completely derange the whole sys-
tenn when entering it through the mucous
surfaces. Such articles should never be used
except on prescriptions from reputable ply
scians, as the damage they will do is ten
fold to the good You can possibly derive
from them. Halls catarrh cure, manufac.
tured by FL. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.,
contains no mercury, and is taken internal
ly, and acts directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. In buying
Halls catarrh cure be sure you get the gen
ulne. 1t is taken internally, and made in

In reply to your letter of the 18th,
stating discrepancy between report
from this Office and that of the
Supervisor, I beg to say that these
statements r. made up not from
the official schedules, which it is
impracticable to examine and
count now, but from the daily
postal card reports from the enum-
orators, showing the number of
persons enumerated by them each
day. Some of the postal cards
might have failed to reach this of
fee. They are only intended as a
means of arriving at an early ap-
Proclamation. I can give you no
more definite statement until the
official count is made in due course.
Very Respectfully,
