Gold of the United States.

Washington, January 22.-The abstract

shows that they had So, 02O, 800. 900 loans

deposits. Special holdings are stated at
$2O6, 712, 40, of which S16S, 244, 430 is in

tional banks was S162, 925, 800: gold held
by the national banks in Maine December

Mint Director Preston estimates that
today there is $3.50, QUO, 900 of gold in the

surers' daily statement, there is today in
in the treasury in round figures $lOo. 600, :
900 in gold, of which $40. 1859, 600 is covered
by gold certificates. Outstanding trea-
sury gold, 100000, goo. with $3.50, 900, 600
in gold in the national banks, makes
$26S, 900, 900, so if Mint Director Preston's

Offensive
Catarph,

Catarrh is seemingly one of the
most complicated of ailments, and
one which the doctors are absolutely
unable to cure. The reasons for
this are easily explained. Catarrh is
a blood disease, and only a blood
remedy can effect it. The various
sprays, douches and washes which
are employed as local treatment,
may, for time, alleviate the
trouble, but no one ever knew of
such treatment producing a cure.
They can not reach the seat of the dis
ease, as the experience of many
sufferers will prove; nothing can do
so except a real blood remedy.
In the treatment of Catarrh, S. S.
S. has demonstrated the fact that it
reaches deep-seated diseases, which
other remedies can not touch.
Mr.. Chas. A. Parr, the leading wall
paper dealer, of Athens, Ca, writes:

up the lane on foot. She had reached

Why Mary stood there listening
instead of delivering Mr.. Mowers

Bill said:
