It Is a mistake to try to cure cartarrh by using local applications. Catarrh is not local but n constitutional disease. 1t is not disease of the mans nose. but of the man. Therefore, to effect cure. requires constitutional remedy like Hoods Sarsaparilla, which, acting through the blood. reaches every part ol the sys- tenn. expeliing the taint which causes the disease. and impartng health.

DON'T FAIL TO READ THIS. An important Notice to Our
 Subscribers.

On January 1. 1891, we will open a new subscription book for fnE TIMES. In transferring the large list of names we will exercise the greatest care, so that none who have subscribed for the paper may be overlooked. In this con nectioli, however, we desire to make
 A VERY IMPORTANT STATEMENT.
 We have list aggregating 750 sub scribers. A large number of these are in arrt ars more than twelve months on subscription. Now when we transfer our list on January lst we will be compelled to drop every sub- scriber's name who has not paid mp ts within twelve months of this date, or made other satisfactory arrangements with us. THERE CAN BE NO ExCEP- TIoNs TO TIus GENERAL RULE. Ii your name happens to be among ille number we beg you will not think it is because We think you are dishonest, or that you are trying to BEAT us. or that we have bad opinion of you. We believe every man ~ho reads the TIMES is perfectly willing to pay for it. But there are a large number who keep putting it off from month to month and forgetting to call and set tie, and we are unable to carry them longer. We cannot do d cash business on a credit basis. That is to say, we cannot pay casl, for our goods and let them out to Tom, Dick and Harry on time--and especially on long time. and especially on longer time than twelve months. Business is business. and it takes money to run newspaper and clothe the babies.
 In conclusion, let us say that we sincerely hope VIC will not have occa- sion to drop single name from our books on this account. If you owe for yonr paper you are aware of it, and we hope you will come up like a man and pay for it. If you don do so, and are in arrears twelve months or more on l the first day of January. your name will certainly b- dropped from our list and the account placed for co!lcc- | tion.
 Remember, there will be no excep- tions made to this rule. The best | friend We have in the world will be | dropped from our subscription book if | he fails to keep paid up. We are anxious and willing to send you our paper, but we cannot dn so unless you | pay for 1t. The amount is small in each instance. but the aggregate is much to us. It will enable is to pay our debts, and that is what we live for.
 Trusting yon will not be among the number dropped-if any there should be-we are

 The Bostonians will be seen in ssRobin Hood" at the opera honse Friday night. A New York paper says: Perhaps the gem of the entire opera was the sextet by Robin, Guy, Sheriff, Little John, Friar Tuck and Scarlet, which is a re- production of the old fashioned round or catch, wherein a humorous effect was produced by distortion of the words of the text. Here and there are sprinkled through the opera solos and concerted pieces which contain all the elements necessary to make them popular for con- cert and recital programmes as well as in parlors.
