THE BREATH of a chronic catarrh patient
is often so offensive that he becomes an object
of disgust After a time liberation sets in,
the spongy bones are attacked. and frequent
ly destroyed. A constant source of discomfort
is the dripping of the purulent secretions in
to the throat somctim producing invetcratc
bronchitis. which is usually the exciting cause
of pulmonary disease. The brilliant results
by its use for years past properly designate
Elys Cream Balm as by far the best and only
cure. Call upon your druggist for it.

After pcrusng the prices given above can
any one candidjy say that we are not ready to
make good any promise we have made? Why,
we could sell to shop p-keepers at these prices;
but we prefer to give the people the benefit
of this opportunity. Our unprecedented sue
cess heretofore in this sale makes us anticipate
a very lively week after this great cut, and
we therefore advise those who intend to take
advantage of it. to call early, so we can give
them the benefit of better choice and better
attention. The wde-a-wakc man and woman
are the persons who get along best now; and
they are asleep to their own interests who
will permit this chance to 20 by without seiz.
ing the opportunity to profit thereby.
