THERE Is moro Catarrh in this sec ion OF
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
SANITY failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced It incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis
ease, and thereforeIrequires constitutional
treatment Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
featured by F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo,

Anothertis that the day must be fine,

To lose the wedding ring in the first
