MORE DEAD THAN ALIVE.

Mr.. Walter shea Relates an Incident in His
History Which VIII Be of Interest to tho
Public.
AS has been stated in a previous article,
catarrh may extend down the windpipe
through the bronchial tubes into the air
cells of the lungs, causing pains in the chest,
or by its dropping at night into the throat,
and through involuntary swallowing col
lect in the stomach, causing Indigestion.
If the process of digestion is not properly
performed the whole system must suffer. If
the food taken into the stomach is not di-
gested it decomposes and gas and acids are
formed from this decomposition, and the lin
ing of the stomach and bowels becoming ir-
ritated, causes congestion and
The result is the whole system suffers, and

ton, dizziness, etc.

CATARRH OF THE HEAD.
Statement of Mr.. Mcdonald In Regard to
His Cure and the Source From Which
Ia Ranedt

His Cure and the Source From Which
He Derived Benefit.
Catarrh, in the common acceptation of the
term, is an affection of the mucus mem
branes of the nose and throat. These parts
become inflamed and irritable and the dis
ease is attended by a disagreeable discharge
from the nose and dropping of phlegm
into the throat.
The trouble is not confined to the nose and
throat alone. In most cases it causes dull
heavy headache. In others it extends into
the eve spreading over the eyelid and front
part OF the eyeball. This Inflammation
causes the eye to be weak and watery or
it may extend to the middle ear causing
ringing and buzzing sounds and often deaf
ness.
In the cure OF this trouble the physician Is
aided by inhalers, vaporizers, etc., for max

became affected. 1 had frequent discharges
from the nose, both external and back into
my throat had dull, heavy pain in my

and later my hearing became impaired.
''The dropping into my throat kept me

come over me. My stomach bothered me a
good deal. I had no appetite, and what
ate did me but very little good. My sleep
did not refresh me. A cough set in, which

Their Credentials.

As has been said, DR.. W. H. Copeland was
President of his GLASS at Bellevue Hospital
Medical College, New York, where he grad
uated, the most famous institution of its
kind in the country. His diploma bears the
written Endorsement of the medical authori-
ties of New York, of the deans of prominent
medical colleges in Pennsylvania. DR..
Halls credentials are no less abundant and
unqualified. He also is formally indorsed
by the secretaries OF various county and
State medical societies. Both gentlemen,
after thorough hospital experience and
practice, have devoted their lives to the
practice of their specialties, with what sue
cess the columns of the daily papers show.
In addition to the high medical authorities
quoted above may be mentioned a Pittsburg
medical authority, which is by no means to
be deprecated. The diplomas of both gentle
men bear the formal written Endorsement of
the Western Pennsylvania Medical College,
of Pittsburg.

Iknve learned beautiful lesson,
Taught by the sweetpease standing tnereN
Those little clouds Of sunset glory
Caught ont Of time in morning air.
You see their fragrant blossoms noddlng,
Purple. crimson and pale rose blush,
On slender stems too slight to bear them
Without the helping, hidden brush.
To its brown arms SO strong and trusty,
The little tendrils ceave and cling,
The vine, unheld, in dust were lying,
A fallen. bruised and fowerless thir6.
And yet the brush itself was barren,
Unquickened at the summers kiss;
It bore no scent or sign of blossom,
But now 1t blooms again like this,
think it must forget the sadness
OF its own broken life. and glow
With love for all the warmth and sunshine
That makes the sweetpease bud and blow

Deadened and storm tossed, dulled with
strife;
But it has helped to bear the blossoms
That crown another, fairer life.

A PENsIoNED scHooLMAsTER.
The Hard Lot OF an Aged German Pen


The Hard Lot OF an Aged German Pen
A schoolnaster named Handorf, sixty
eight years old, was pensioncd from
Mecklenburg estate twelve years ago,
after having taught there twcnty-sevcn
years. His pension consisted of cow,
a shaky little cottage, small parcel of
ground on which to raise few bushels
of potatoes and a few small measures
of rye. The old man received nothing,
however, toward the dcfraying of his
daily expenditure for food, heat and
light, and so it came about that he was
obliged to go out on the highway as
laborer for twelve and one-half cents
day. In the heat of summer and the
raw, wet days of fall he has for many
years worked patiently and uncom-
plainingly among rough men who were
formerly his scholars. enduring without
word the taunts and reproachcs of an
unfriendly inspector. On the second
and fourth Saturday of every month ne
has stood in line with the other labor
crs, his wage-book in his hand, and
waited his turn to receive the paltry
sum due him. Twelve years of the old
mans life have passed thus. lie has
passed his cightieth year. and is without
prospect OF n better fortune.
