Times march moves slowly, where weary
lives languish in dull places.
Dating from one unkept and unGcknOwl-
edged birthday TO another, Sydney Wcster-
field had attained the sixth year Of her mar
tyrdOm at school. In that long interval no
news of her mother, her brother, or her step
father had reached England; she had re-
ceived no letter. she had not even heard a re-
port. Without friends and without pros
poets, Roderick Westerlield's daughter was,

persons have been sent from the Black

A IN The HEAD,
A Constitutional Disease, Requiring
N CONSTITUTIONAL Kennedy.

CatarTh in the head consists OF In
fiammation OF the mucous membrane
in the nasal passages, and sometimes il
extends 10 the air cavities, which cover
a considerable portion of the face. Ca
tarrh in the head frequently destroys
the sense OF taste and smell, and Its
tendency is always facilitating. The
best authorities say catarrh Is just as
surely a constitutional disease as IL
scrofula. IL is caused and promoted by
impure blood. The teaching OF expert
encc proves that the true way TO cure
catarrh Is to purify the blood. The One
True Blood Purifier is Hoods Sarsa-
parilla. Thousands OF such statements
have been written by honest, straight
orwar men and women; they have
been published year after year, and
their g~enuineness is beyond any posi-
bic question.
If you are suffering from catarrh, do
not daily with snuffs, inhalants and
useless local applications. Take the d.
rect o TO health. Cleanse the stream
at the fountain head. Purify your
blood with the One True Blood Purifier,
o Sarsaparilla. In a short time
you viii be convinced OF the wisdom OF
this course Hoods Sarsaparilia will
give you an appetite, ton and strength
en- your stomach, make rich, red blood,
and remove all the di~sagreeable symp-
toms of catarrh by permanently eradi-
eating the causes which produce them.
