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.

Decanle q sindoo fskfr.

A singular if not unique case of Euro
pean turning fnkir, or Hindoo holy man-
and that ia the most European station in
ludia-has been brought to light. AT
Bishop Cotton school, at Simla, there was
once an English boy named Charles dc
Reusselte. He got into some boysh scrape,
and % avoid tho consequences absconded.
Search proved ebortive, and nothing moro
was heard OF the fugitive. 1t appears now
that he had wandered no farther away
than Mount Takkho, just above. There
hc had tnken refuge with the fakir of a
native temple. he became first the holy
cian's acolyto and eventually his successor.
Ills idcatiiy with the runaway schoolhoy
was entirely lost, and the sanctity of his
life made him an exceedingly influential
parsonage. Meantime Charles de Rcus-
selte had become entitled To large for
tune and was being advertised ana sought
for far and wide without success. one
day correspondent Of tho Lucknow Ga
zette, who oi.anccd 10 he at Simla, fell in
with the fakir and either discovered his
secret or had IL communicated to him, but
the heir manifested no desire 20 claim his
inheritance. On the contrary, he assured
the bazette's correspondent that he
should never revert TO the religion of his
fathers nor ever return to civilization.
Ho was quite happy whore he was. There,
at all events, he Is still.
