THE OLD WORLD.

Michael Eyraud, the murderer OF
Gouffe, was executed at Paris Eyraud met
his death with fortitude and resignation.
There were but few witnesses at the execu-
ton, owing to the fact that it was not gen.
orally known until too late for the papers
to announce that the famous criminal was
to meet death in the morning. When the
Governor Of the Prison La Roquette and
the Prison ,apain, fAbbe Faure, were
ushered into Eyrauds cell short time pre-
yious to the hour fixed for the condemned
mans execution they found that he was
already up and dressed, evidently fore
warned, contrary to the rules, by some
official. Eyraud positively, even angrily
refused to listen to the good priests pray
ers, to pray himself or to have any religi-
Gus rites performed in his behalf.

No one doubts that Dr..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy really
cures Catarrh, whether the
disease be recent or of long
standing, because the makers
of it clinch their faith in it
with a $500 guarantee, which
isn't a mere newspaper guar
antee, but "on call " in a
moment.
That moment is when you
prove that its makers can't
cure you.
The reason for their faith
is this:
DIR. Sage's remedy has
proved itself the right cure
for ninety nine out of one
hundred cases of Catarrh III
the Head, and the Worlds
Dispensary Medical lAssocia-
ton can afford to take the
risk of your being the one
hundredth.
The only question is-are
you willing to make the test,
if the makers are willing to
take the risk?
If so, the rest is easy. You
pay your druggist 50 cents
and the trial begins.
