Probably no system of practice ever employed

Throat Diseases, Bronchitis, Asthma and Con
CATARRH-
Catarrh is often regarded by the patient as
a cold in the head, and he often expresses his
astonishment at his remarkable tendency to
contract fresh cold. Indeed he declares that
he is scarcely free from one cold before he
takes another, and he is always exceedingly
careful; it is also matter of surprise TO him
that the cold always seems to settle in the
head and throat.
At times many of the symptoms of catarrh
seem TO abate, and the patient is led to hope
that the disease is about to wear OFF, but an
other class of symptoms soon appear and he
learns to his horror, that instead of recovery
from the disease, ii is somewhat changed in its
character and has extended to the throat.
A sense of WEAKNESS is sometimes felt in
reading, speaking or singing; hoarseness at
times occurs, a sensation OF dryness is felt in
the throat, or it appears that some foreign
substance, as for instance, hair, obStructed
the throat; there becomes a sense of languor
and fatigue; the breath lessons on little
eXertion, a short, hacking cough, a peculiar
sound in clearing the throat, a feeling as
though there was not room enough in the
chest to breathe; these and other symptoms
occur after the disease has made considerable
progress. Then it is time when consumption
Is about to begin its dreadful work. Up
to this time the press of the disease may
nave Deen SLOW ana ino pdllellb may, III
expressing his confident hope that it will
''wear off," declare that he has had the catarrh
for years and has not seemed to become much
worse, and trusts that he will "by and by
recover. But this delusion is the grand error
which has peopled our cemeteries with con
sumptive forms, all forms of catarrh end
finally in consumption.
Every case of catarrh is durable when prop
erly treated Eastern visitors and invalids
should avail themselves of the opportunity of
being cured before they return home.
Those who desire to consult me in regard
to their cases had better call at the office for an
examination, but if impossible to visit the office
personally write for list of questions and

Purse OF 100000 ORered TO Sunol
or Axsell-Contessants in the Grand
Cfreuft Races

A Purse OF 100000 ORered TO Sunol
or Axtell-Contessants In the Grand
Circuit Races.
Mr.. j. 8. Goats, secretary Of the Northern
New Jersey Fair association, has recently
made the announcement that the association
which he represents has offered purse of
$40, 600 to be contested for by the celebrated
horses Sunol, 2:101s, and Axtell, 2:1e. The
purse to be subject to the following condi-
lions: The race to be mile heats, best three
in Eve, over the track at Dundee park, N. j.,
between September % and October II, 1890.
Entrance free. The winner to take the en-
tire purse.
This announcement sounds remarkably
well at first, but does not improve by an
analysis. A small fortune is offered free to
one of two contestants. The horses and
drivers wouldn't even have to pay admission
at the park gates. These two celebrated sol
ons of the Electioneer and Wilkes families of
trotters would have to trot for the purse, but
how fast they must trot is not stipulated in
the offer. If the managers of Sunol and Ak
tell want to give their horses a preparatory
race here is an excellent opportunity to dc
60.
If these managers give the race theresis
nothing to prevent the representatives from
making any division of the money that they
choose. If the $4,000 should be won and
retained by the winner as indicated in the
offer the winner would be in a handsome sum
and the loser would be out the amount neces
sary for expenses, which would be consider
| able.
This arrangement would not be so mutual.
| ly profitable as If the first horse took first
money and the second horse took second
money. The purse is certainly large enough
to divide into two prizes.
IT these renowned four.year-olds come to
gether in a race the great horse -admirinG
public will rush to see the contest between
the two heroes Of the trotting turf. There
has been considerable talk about race be-
tween these flyers, and the offer is certainly
good one.
Mr.. E. G. Walker, editor eastern depart
ment of the Horseman, shipped the two
trotters, Miss Alice (2:201s) and Soto, tt
Buffalo yesterday, where he is to join thu
grand circuit, which is to meet there mex
| week. From Buffalo Mr.. Walkers "Veritas'
will come down the line with Miss Alice il
the 2:20 classes and Soto, the fve-year-old

Alice, won last season as follows: $500 a
