Catarrh, Not Local But
Constitutional

DR.. bio Lewis, the eminent Boston
physician, in a magazine article SAYS:
"A radical error underhes nearly all
medical treatment Of catalrh. It is
not a disease of the mans nose; it is a
disease of the man, showing itself in the
nose-a Local exhibition of a ConStitat
aonal trouble Therefore, be argues,
the use Of snuff ant other application is
wrong, and while they seem TO give tenn
porary relief. they really do more harm
than good. Other leadiog authorities
agree with DR. Lewis. Hence, the only
proper method of cure for catarrh is by
taking constitutional remedy like Hoods
Sarsaparila. which, reaching every
part of the body through the blood, does
eliminat9 all impurities ana makes the
whole man healthier. 1t removes the
cause of the trouble and restores the di-
seased membrane TO proper condition
That this is the practical result is prov
en- by thousands of people who haye
been cured of catarrh by taking Hood 5
Sarsaparina.

keeping up uniformity of temperature

Wintering bees safely is the great
point in successful agriculture Those
who can do this well need not despair
in making a success Of bees and honey.
AS this has been and still is the dead
point of the business, nearly all failures
have been here. BY successful winter
ing we not only mean the preservation
of the life of our bees until the return
of spring, but also that they shall be
sufficiently numerous to pass the sew
eral trials of spring in safety, and have
their hives overlooking with bees at
the opening of the honey flow. This
is successful wintering, and when it is
accomplished our labors viii be
