Catarrh Means Danger,

Because if unchecked it may lead directly
to consumption. Catarrh is caused by Inn
pure blood. This fact is fully established.
Therefore. it is useless to try to cure catarrh
by outward applications or inhalants: The
true way to cure catarrh is to purify the
blood. Hoods Sarsaparilla, the great blood
purifier, cures catarrh by its power to drive
out all impurities from the blood. Thous-
ands of people testify that they have been
perfectly and permanently cured of catarrh
by Hoods Sarsaparilla.

Senator Butler, the Populist Chair
man, rather rubbed it on the Demo-
Gratis when he issued an address to the
country putting all the blame for defeat
on them, and asserting that the popu-
lists will be the principal opponents Of
the Republicans in 1900. The address
has made the Democrats hopping mad,
but Butler thinks them Of so little con-
