Catappll 10
Consumption

Catarrh invariably leads to consump-
ton. Growing worse and worse each
winter, those who rely upon the usual
treatment of sprays, washes and inhal-
ing mixtures find that it is impossible
to check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the sur
face. The offensive discharge increases
all the while, and gets deeper until it is
only a question of short time when
the lungs are affected.
The Importance of the proper treat
ment can therefore be readily appre-
ciated. But no good whatever can be
expected from local applications, as
such treatment never did cure Catarrh,
and never will. Being blood disease
of the most obstinate nature, Swift's
Specific (S.S.S.) is the only remedy
which can have the slightest effect upon
Catarrh. 1t is the only blood remedy
that goes down to the bottom of all stub
born diseases which other remedies
cannot reach.
Mrs. Josephine Polhill, of Due West,
S. c., writes:

Catarrh that lost my hearing in one
ear, and part of the bone in my nose

The new books at the Lithgow

ton. Tuesday, have met with a great
demand. and the subscribers have
fcalled in numbers for some one of the
list of 120 which was recently pub
Bshed. Among the new books of
special value and interest is The Life

Speaking of the library calls to mind
the attractiveness of the building, and
one cannot but wonder how many, in
the haste of getting a book and hurry
ing away about their business. appre-
ciate the beauty of the surroundings.
The windows over the transoms; the
smaller pictorial transparencies are
certainly marvellous. They are study,
and one on analyzing their significance,
finds them a source of fascinating
literary meaning. In themselves they
have a beauty which never tires, for
it is never the same. as the day comes

tone of light, q passing cloud, or the
reflection of light are sensitively rep
resented in the transparencies None
are so beautiful as the windows in the
