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

"The peasents of Brittany have some
strange customs, aud one OF them is of
quite ancient origin" said traveller.
"Many years ago their coast was visit
ed by pirates, who invaded the houses
and carried off all the money and valu-
ables they could find. In order to pro-
tect themselves in the future, the peo-
pie had an odd kind OF q bedstead
made, which looks exactly like a cup
board with shelves and door. On the
lower shelf slept the ma ter of the
h. use and his wife, while the children
of the household were distributed on
the upper shelves. A small opening
like the port-holo on a steamship was
made against each shelf, and covered
with wire sieve, which admitted the
air. At bedtime the family crept
into their respective places, taking
their treasures with them, and, lock-
ing the door, slept with a feeling Of
perfect security. Many OF these curl
Gus articles of furniture ate still to be
found In the old houses OF Brittany.
