caused by impure blood. This fact IS
fully established. Therefore, it is use
less to try to cure catarrh by outward
applications or :nhalants. The true
way 10 cure catarrh is to purify the
blood. Hoods Sarsaparilla, the great

that they have been perfectly and
permanently cured of catarrh by
Hoods Sarsaparilla.

vote used to be very commonly required for
election, but II was found to hinder the smooth
working Of two political parties. and has been
generally. though not quito universally,
abandoned. Tho fact that election by majority
did not give rise to a multiplicity OF parties In
America shows that by itself It does not pro-

n number OF groups exist, It tends
to foster them. and to prevent their

has been praised on tho ground that It saves
the people from the yoke of huge party ma
chimes. and enables them to select their candi-
dates moro freely. Mr.. Lowell. for his part, is
inclined to regard this as a great advantage,
but at the same time he recognizes that the
system tcnds to prevent the formation of great
consolidated parties, and that this 10 the evil from
