An Absent-Minded Man.

I will tell you while can
OF an absent-minded man,
And an absent-minded man was he
Who forgot an unkind word
Just as soon as it was heard,
Such an absent-minded man was he.
In political debate.
Now, I can most truly stata
Such an absent-minIed man was he,
His opponent on the street
With a hand-shake he would greet.
Such an discontinued man was he.
Once he left goodly store
At poor old widows door,
Such an absent-minded man was he,
And. although twas all the same,
Quite forgot to leave his name,
Such an absent-mindedm man was he
You see
Such an absent-minded man was he.

There Is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced ii a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and, there fore, requires constitutional treatment Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney x Co.,, Toledo, O., is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from ten drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer $100 for any case 1t fails to cure. Send for circulars and tes- timonials. Address
