THERE is more catarrh is this section

years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and, by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proved catarrh to be a consti-
tutional disease, and it therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment. Halls

FARM AND GARDEN.
WE print in another column letter.

WE print in another column letter.
a private letter, yet one so important
and interesting that we risk giving it to
our readers-from that able and in
telligent practical agriculturist, u. A.
Gilbert, for many years the popular
agricultural editor of the Maine Farmer.
We want our readers TO give attention
to this letter, for it is worthy of careful
reading. Mr.. Gilbert is one of thou
sands amongst our thinking farmers
who agonze-the word is not too
strong-for the day and hour when the
so-styled agricultural schools of this
country shall begin to teach agricul-
ture, and teach it in such way
that no farmer who has the heart
of farmer will feel otherwise than
that such a school is an actual necessity
for his own sons who contemplate fol-
lowing their fathers business.
