There is more catarrh In this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For q great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be 4
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.

Driving Begins.

From the Grand Rapids Herald.
The Indications are that log driv-
ing this spring will be carried
through In a very satisfactory
manner. There certainly will be no
scarcity OF water ON the upper
Mississippi and logs will be readily
floated into the main stream and
started for the Minneapolis mills
with a full head OF water. The
recent heavy fall OF snow and sub
sequent rains have resulted in some
damage down the river to boom
company properties. The raise in
the Mississippi river was the largest
for a number of years and some
bridges and dams have been de-
stroyed while log jams of serious
proportions have been frequent.
Most OF the local drives are already
in shape to begin active work and
under anything like favorable coDdi-
lions the logs banked in this
territory will soon be on their way
to Brafnerd and the mills below.
The past season has been a most
favorable one for logging and were
it not for the prevailing low price
on logs the contractors would be q
happy lot of men this spring. AS it
is, however. the profits are small
even under the most favorable
circumstances.
