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 in
durable. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it a local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be a con-
st%itutional disease, and, therefore, re-
guires constitutional treatment. HALLS
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. j,
Cheney Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market,
1t is taken internally in doses from IL
drops to a teaspoonsul. 1t acts di-
rectly on the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it fails tc
cure. Send for circulars and testi-

had been quite sick for about three
weeks preceding her death with in
fiammatory rheumatism and heart

resulted in her death. During her
illness relatives, neighbors and frienGs
| did al that was possible to relieve her
sufierings. She was perfectly con-
| scious up to the moment of her death
and talked to those gathered around
her up to the last. She leaves a or
rowing husband, who has the sim
cere sympathy of the LEDGER and IT, c
entire community and a little boy tSo

months old at the time of her death
Her maiden name was Rochester
Brinker and her mother has been dead
about twelve years, while her father,
who now lives in Cripple Greek, Colo,
will be unable to attend the funeral on
account of i'll health. On June 5,1S9i,
she was married to E. F. Kunkel, one
of our most reliable young business
men, and her death will be a hard
blow to him. She has always been a
devoted member of the Methodist
Church and was an active worker in
the W. H. Nj. S. and Epworth League,
Her presence will be sadly missed in

she was a member.
