That Little Tickling

In your throat, which makes you cough
once in a while and keeps you constantly
clearing your throat, arises from catarrh
and as catarrh is a constitutional disease
the ordinary congh medicines all fail to
hit the spot. What you need is cor
stitutional remedy like Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Many people who have taken this
medicine for scrofula, dyspepsia, loss OF
appetite, and other troubles, have been
surprised that 1t should cure this trouble
some cough. Bot to know the actual cause
of the cough IS to solve the mystery. Many
cases of consumption can be traced back
to the neglect of some such slight affection
as this. Consumption can be controlled
in its early stages, and the effect OF
Hoods Sarsaparilla in purifying the
blood, building up the general health,
and expelling the scrofulous faint
which is the cause of catarrh and con-
sumption, has restored to perfect health
many persons on whom this dreaded dis
ease seemed to have firm hold.

Has DR.. Koch Two More Rene
dies ?

There is so much of value in Or. Koch's
discovery of a means of curing light cases
of consumption that the world is still con
graduating itself uron the Professor:
skill. The microscope, supplemented
with indefatigabIe EXPERIMENTATION
achieved wonders with the bacillus of tu-
berculOss. But. if Sir Joseph Listers
hints are to be taken seriously, DR.. Koch
has two moro blessings for mankind in
reserve. A cure for two terrible disc asses,
Sir Joseph intimates, has been discovered,
and will soon be revealed to the world.
Unlike the lymph used for consumption,
this new remedy is simple chemical snb-
stance which anybody can prepare. One
of the diseases referred to, it is said, is
diptheria. Should DR.. Koch have an
effective remedy of his own devising foE
that disease he deserves to have a mOnu-
ment in every country on the globe, lie
would himself probably prefer it in the
shape of public hospital. Baltimore Sun.

with contrasting fabric like velvet,
surah or figured wooden, applied as full
fronts, sewing them in the under-arm
seam and gathering the material in tho

folds to the short point. and fastening
there under q long, slender buckle,
which is sewed to one side of the folds
and hooked over to the other when on.
If a round waist is preferred in front,

the mob closed in on them, and with

commanders of the regiments ordered
them to disperse three or four times,
and, upon their refusal. ordered the SOL

made furious onslaught, just rs word
was echoed down the line to fire again.
This time their aim was true, and if

passed on and the police stepped in and
assisted in removin. the wounded.

The mob were fast returning to the
scene and were being harrangued by a
man named Cunningham, who noted my
presence and warned the crowd. They
were almost wild, and the cry went up
that l was responsible for the mans
death. Matters looked threatening. To
raise my night stick and attempt to
force my way out would have been the
signal for a general attack; to draw a
revolver would have been still worse,
