The history of cards in this country marks
many interesting periods OF the nations
growth. Old time players will remember
the famous cotton plant backs, which,
as the name would imply, We're mostly used
in the south, but which were known from
one end of the country to the other One
of the prettiest designs of this kind was
competitorat the first Of the Crystal Palace
exhibitions in London, way back in the
"fifties," and easily drew prize over the
best of the British exhibits. The cards were
beautiful examples of the photographers
art, and even with the marked improve
ments in methods and machinery that have
since been made have never been excelled.
A pack of these cards sold for $40 in gold
in those days.-New York Herald.

The Puzzle Solved

Perhaps no local disease has puz-
zled and baffied the medical profess
sion more than nasal catarrh. While
not Immediately fatal, it is among
the most nauseous and disgusting
ills the flesh is heir to. and the rec
ords show very few or no cases of
radical cure of chronic catarrh by
any of the many modes of Treatment
until the introduction of Ely's Cream
Balm few years ago. The success
OF this preparation has been most
gratifying and surprising. No drug
gist is without it.
