CATARRH.
Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-A New
Home Treatment.

Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-A New
Home Treatment.
Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites
in the lining membrane Of the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be fact, and
the result of this discovery is that simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one TO three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
n. B.-This treatment is not SNUFF or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph-
let explaining this new treatment is sent on
receipt of three cents in stamps to pay

so, take it, He will not deny US the
joys that are positively festal.
I think the children of God have more
right to laugh than any other people,
and to clap their hands as loudly.
There is not a single Joy denied them
that is given to any other people. Chris
tianity does not clip the wings of the
soul. Religion does not frost the flow
ers. What is Christianity? l take it
to be simply proclamation from the
Throne of God of emancipation for all
the enslaved; and if a man accepts the
terms of that proclamation and becomes
free, has he not a right to be merry?
Suppose a father has an elegant man
sion and large grounds. To whom will
he give the first privilege of these
grounds? VIII he say: MY children,
you must not walk through these
paths, or sit down under these
trees, or pluck this fruit. These
are for outsiders. They may walk
in them" No father would say
any thing like that. He would say:
1.-The first privileges in all the grounds,
and all of my house, shall be for my own
children" And get men try to make US
believe that Gods children are on the
limits, and the chief refreshments and
enjoyments of life are for outsiders, and
not for His own children. 1t is stark
atheism. There is no innocent bever-
age too rich for Gods child to drink;
there is no robe too costly for him TO
wear; there is no hilarity too great for
him to indulge in. and no house too
splendid for Him to live in He has q
right to the joys of earth; he shall have
right 20 the joys of Heaven Though
tribuiations and trial, and hardship may
come unto him, let him rejoice Re
joice in the Lord. ye righteous, and

THE TARIFF BILL.

The Tariff bill reported yesterday to
the House by the Ways and Means
Committee was accompanied by three
reports, the usual majority and minority
reports and one from Mr. McKenna of
California, who objects strenuously to
putting sugar on the free list, and will
not be appeased by bounty. Hides
were at the last moment added to the
free list in response to the demands of
New England and Pennsylvania tan
ming and boot and shoe manufacturing
interests. The satisfaction of the
former will not be complete, because
the committee at the same time put
about 10 per cent duty on imported
leather. However, the Representatives
hailing from the districts where those
interests are large may now be counted
upon to support the bill,
The sugar schedule is not apt to suit
a majority of the House, even though it
may be squeezed through. So, too,
with other Objectionable features of the
bill. They may be accepted by the
House, not with the expectation that
they will become law, but that they will
be modified and licked into suitable
shape for campaign purposes by the
Senate.

gang" and declared that Elected
on an independent reform movement,
he ignores every trust of his
office" 1t then asserts that Thieves,
gamblers and crooks run the city with
a puppet Mayor in the chair" and
that He has eonfded his political
future to the set of which Mike Nc
Donald is chief" The headlines then
conclude with the bold assertion that
"Dishonor is written in capitals on
every page of his official ledger"
This vigorous raid upon the Mayor
