There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurahle. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires 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 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and testi

ship being marked by figure on the

SPEcTAoLEs for horses have been pat
ented by an inventor, and are being
used with considerable success. Their
object is not so much to magnify OBJ
jects as to make the ground in front of
the horse appear nearer to his head
than it really is. The result is contin-
ual high stepping, which, after awhile,
becomes natural, and gives to a horse
an aristocratic gait which he will re-
tain for many years.
