A Defective Law.

COLUMBUS, o., May ga mistake
has been discovered in the Montgomery
law relating to employers liability in
surance companies. In the first Sec
ton of the law reference is made to
companies organized under the second
clause of Section 364l B,when it should
be 3141. There is no second clause in
364l b. Legal opinions differ as to the
effect of the error, the opponents of
the law holding that it is imperative,
but the friends of the measure say that
as the proper section is amended, and
the proper original section repealed,
the law will stand, as the intent of the
assembly is clearly indicated and the
error apparent. But the courts will
have to pass upon it.

Facts Worth Knowing.

In all diseases of the nasal mucous
membrane the remedy used must be
non-irritating. Nothing satisfactory can
be accomplished with douches, snuffs,
powders or astringents, because they are
irritating, do not thoroughly reach the
affected surfaces and should be aban-
doned as worse than failures. A multi.
tude of persons who had for years borne
all the worry and pain that catarrh can
infiict testify to radical and permanent
cures wrought by Ely's Cream Balm.
