and Teton concluded that they had
enough. Chase and Mas did the

Catarrh not Local, but Constitutional

Catarrh not Local, but Constitutional.
DR.. Dio Lewis, the eminent Boston
physician. in magazine article says:
"a radical error underlies all medical
treatment of catarrh. It is not disease
of the mans nose; it is disease Of the
man, showing itself IN the mans nose
"a Local exhibition of Constitutional,
trouble" Therefore, he argues, the
use of snuff and other local applications
is wrong, and while they seem to give
temporary relief, they really do more
harm than good. Other leading author
tiles agree with DR.. Rewis. Hence, the
only proper method of cure for catarrh
is by taking a constitutional remedy
like Hoods Sarsaparilla, which, reach
ing every part o. the body through the
blood, does eliminate all impurities and
make the man healthier. It removes
the cause of the trouble and restores
the diseased membrane to proper con-
dition. That this is the practical result
is proven by thousands of people who
have been cured of catarrh by taking
Hoods Sarsaparilla.

How Money groWs.

d |4t / 4
At the birth of his son father
placed at interest at 6 per cent
the sum Of 81, 600, and each year
invested all the interest at the
same rate. When the boy was
q years old he found himself
the possesor Of IS. 1896. Being
. young man Of pluck and energy
and anxious to try his hand in
upaided competition, he told his
father to keep the money and he
would take his chances with the
poor boys Of his acquaintance.
When the SON was so years old
the father notified him that his
fortune had grown to over S15,
43o. using round numbers. AT
20 the father called his sons at
tention to his fortune of over
$50 900, and since the son had
received the rewards Of his in
dustry he did not still take pos
session Of the fortune. The
father soon after died, and in his
will required his executors to
keep the principal and interest
loaned until the son should re-
ceive it or be removed by death.
The latter lived to a good old
age, and his sons one hundredth
birthday, besides the accumula.
tions Of a busy and prosperous
life, was incumbercd with a for.
tune of 1888, 800.
Christopher Columbus is said
tn have some poor relations liv.
ing in Spain at this time. One
or TWO of these have intimated
that if the liberal American PEG,
pie would take up a collection
for them the same would be re-
ceived as a fitting expression OF
our gratitute to their great an
cestor. But, If we consider.
there would have been nothing

impossible in it, and it would
have been really considerate in
Christopher to have saved o dol
lar-only one dollar-of the
amount given him. A modern
financial manager would have
perhaps suggested that to this
end the sometimes obstreperous
and mutinons sailors be reduced
at half rations for a sufficient
Time to enable the great dis
coverer to save dollar and
place it at compound interest at
the very reasonable rate of 6 per
cent. By this time, 400 years
after, that dollar would have in-
creased and multiplied to the
munificent sum of over $1,322,.
900, 600, a sum sufficient to pay
at least some of the gambling
debts of his poor relations ofthis
present time.
