The Best senson Of the Year TO Treat
Chronic Catarrh.
Notwithstanding that great number OF
people have been cured Of chronic catarrh
by taking pe.ru.na during the past cold
season, yet It cannot he denied that the
cold, wet, stormy winter has retarded many
cures, and in some cases actually prevented
cure. But, after unusual delay. spring
time has come at last, and now is the time
for all catarrh sufferers to begin a system
attic course of treatment for this disease.
The greatest difficulty in the way Of treating
chronic catarrh is that the patient is so
liable to catch cold during the treatment,
and thus delay a cure. This liability at this
season of the year is. in great measure.
removed, and no one should neglect the
opportunity TO be given treatment. Send for
free catarrh book
As spring medicine Pe.ru.na is never
failing remedy. IL cleanses the blood
through digestion, and gives tone 10 the
whole system by increasing the nutritive
value of the food "Spring fever" as it is
sometimes called, which produces n tired
out, sleepy feeling, and inability to do much
mental or physical work, is the result of
sluggish digestion, and no blood medicine
will be of any use whatever unless 1t is able
to rectfy the impaired digestion. The great
popularity that Pe.ru.na has is due 10 the
fact that in all such cases it at once corrects
digestive arrangements and enrches the
blood by purifying this very important
source of that vital fluid. Send for free

lying on the floor are painted as rugs were
never painted before, and the texture OF

could do better.
Eugene Fromentin has made an ever
lasting reputation by painting incidents
in the lives of the half-wild tribes of the
deserts of Arabia. To do this he has had
to make most careful study of the horse
as well as man and In lie Simoun" his tai
ents show 10 their best advantage. The
sentiment IF the ri ture is that of terror an
the frightened horses looking toward the
awful sandstorm are Denoted with a
strength that is dramatic. The color and
drawing of the pic ure cannot be crti.
ciZed and the handling shows a master
hand in every touch.
The best landscape exhibited is one by
Gustave Courbet, and it is strong ex-
ample of his work. The pic ure is nothing
but transcript from nature. There is no
poetry nor an attempt to produce an ideal.
II is cha acteristic of Courbet, pra ctical,
and without any waste OF strength. Every
brush mark means something and means
1t well. The sunlight on the soft grass Is
cIedT anu warm anu the SHADOWS under
the trees are cool and deep. The clouds in
the sky are exactly such as can be seen in
France on any summer day and have a
brilliancy of color very few painters have
ever succeeded in producing. The picture,
as has been mentioned, is without the SOU
OF nature, but as realistic piece of land
sea painting has few equals.

leaves nothing TO the imagination. Every

the textures of the different clothes are
clearly shown. The faces of the occu-
pants Of the room are painted carefully
and are brilliant 10 color, except that of
the old painter, who shows slight palor.

She was referring to the admirable loan

Taken as a whole it is an exhibition that
would attract attention anywhere, even in

there are some pictures not worthy of their

case wherever there is an exhibition of
