Hay Fever.
A Discovery for This nalady At Lasl--Re-
lief al Your Own Home.

No one but the sufferer from hay fever
knows the agony that attends this tor,
turing malady. a continual round OF
sneezing, eyes that are weak, watery and
inamed, a nose that runs without cessa-
tion. and grows more sore every hour
inability to breathe, nights that bocoiae
hours of torture, days that are lc1g
drawn out and full OF sufiering-and all
this continues until the sufferer IL
obliged to pack up and 60 to some
locality where this disease doos not
thrive. Formerly 1t was considered that
the only way hay fever could be relieved
was by a change of climate. the noun.
tains OF Now Hampshire being noted for
this purpose. Now II Is known by ply
sicians and patients alike that sufferers
from this trouble can be relieved at homo
py the use OF X-Zalia. The preparation
is an entirely new discovery in medicine,
it's merits for the relief OF hay fever
only becoming known within the last year
or two.
X-Zalia Is made from the sap Of cor
tain tree, ombined with other vegetable
ingredients found In New Hampshire,
and contains the necessary medicinal
properties that have made New Hamp-
shire air famous for the virtuous quali-
ties ii contains for the cure OF this dis
ease. Many sufferers who were sceptical
have tried X-Zalia, and, to their surprise,
found relief. Among those who may be
referred to are Mr.. w. +. Lakip, Manager
Consolidated Store Service Company,
Fiske Building, State street, Boston;
Mr.. George K. Armstrong, OF the firm OF
Clark, Ward & Co., Bankers. Equitable
Building, Boston; Mr.. Z. II. Stevens,
Phillips Building, Boston; Mr.. Walter
L.. Frost, s Congress street, Boston; Mrs.
William f. Richardson, l2 Elm street,
South Framingham Mass; United States
Senator J. II. Gallinger, New Hsmp-
shire.
1t is expensive to tako a long trip to
the mountains for relief. Ii does not cost
you much TO try X-Zalia right here at
home, and be convinced as to whether it
does what is claimed for it or not. Ask
your druggist for X-Zalia. IL he does
not keep it, send II to The X-Zalia Com

prostituted the service 10 the carriage and dis
tribution of trashy and often dangerous litera-
ture and of matter intended merely for adver-
tising purposes.
The time of holding the spring meeting
