an 1tIaoGS1tdt Offer
the one that's made by the propri-
etors of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
Unusual, but made in good faith.
It's a reward of $500 for an incura-
bic case of Catarrh. If you have
one, the moneys for you. But you
can't know whether You have one,
till you've tried DR.. Sage's Remedy.
What's incurable by any other
means, yields TO that. By its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, it cures the worst cases,
no matter of how long standing.
That's the reason the money can be
offered. There's risk about it, to
be sure. But it's so small that the
proprietors are willing to take it.
The symptoms of catarrh are,
headache, obstruction of nose, dis
charges falling into throat, some
times profuse, watery, and acrid, at
Others thick, tenacious, mucous,
purulent, bloody, putrid and often
sive; eyes weak, ringing in ears,

Since then several thimblcs have
been discovered in the Egyptian cat

centuries.
So how old is the thimble, or by
whom it was invented, are questions
that cannot be answered.
The name is believed to be per-

was formerly worn on the thumb.
The manufacture of thimbles was
