one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and

constitutional disease, requires a cousti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

upon the blood and mucous surfaces of

faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of

Imitation Old Masters In Our Museum.

The Eurorecn student Of art history vis
iting the museums in America must To
profoundly impressed with our Ignorance
or mcndacity If he judges us by the attri'
buttons bestoUed upon the old pictures in
our galleries. There is hardly u museum
in the country that mas rot great names at
tached TO tame copies or poor school pie
lures, and there is rot catalogue of any
of our public collections of old pictures
that is not unreliable and misleading. To
be sure, we are not alone in this Jumbling
and juggling Of ctt.ibutions. The directors
of European galleries are prone to fastcn
great names to the works of pupils or i'm
itators because Il list of Correggios and Ii
tans spreads the famc of the gallery, but
the American gallery director is never to be
outdone in the Use of famous names. If tho
Louvre can catalogue twenty odd Raphaels
