There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all o.her diseases put to-
gether; and until the last few years it was
supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it II local disease,
prescribed local remedies and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurablc. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by +. j.
Cheney Il Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only con
stitutiOnal cure on the market. It is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to teas
poonful. 1t acts directly on the blood and

zone hundred dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for circulars and testimonials.

ed the devotional exercises. Captain
George Blake introduced the subject of
prayer. Ask the ministers of this city
if they believe God will answer the pray
or that the drink habit may be extin-
guishad and they will answer at once,
yes. 1t has been suggested that a band
of praying women be organized in con-
nection with the Washingtonian move
ment, the specific purpose of whose prayer
shall be that God will destroy the drink
habit in those now. slaves to it.
Captain Blake asked all those who
wished to join such band to stand up
and thirteen stood up They were in
vited to come to the Wednesday evening
meeting and talk 1t over.
Rev. S. s. Pearson followed along the
same line OF thought and related instan-
cas where prayer was answered. He made
a very ten0er and touching appeal to
mothers to pray for their young sons.
You think 1t is your neighbours boy that
will fall into drinking habits and not
your son. He made n most eloquent ap-
peal to all to stop the drink habit.

Washinctonian Meeting.

The WashingtOnian temperance rally
held in the West End church yesterday
afternoon was an enthusiastic one. The
people turned out in force to learn what
it is all about. Rev. +. A. Leitch, pas
tor of the church, read passages from
proverbs and offered a feryent prayer.
He introduced as the first speaker Cap
tain George.H. Blake. Captain Blake
said the interesting string of proverbs
just read was strung together some $500
years ago.
They have double effect upon the
hearer. They appeal to his reason and
they stir the heart. Temperance is a
and the heart. We reach up to grasp
temperance as a virtue; we reach down
and let intemperance grasp us. One
elevates the highest and nobles5 manhood
and womanhood; the other debases to q
level of the brute. No one lives without
being that we shall uso it for all 1t is
| worth. Captain Blake spoke of the re-
suits of the winters work along Wash.
ingGoniau lines and closed in an eloquent
plea for signers to the pledge.
Rev. s. f. Pearson said he had been
stirred by the eloquent appeals made by
Captain Blake and he wanted to give
some illustrations along the line suggest
ed by him. He told among other things
how the venerable Rev. DR.. Allen just
before he died sent to him for Washing
ton an pledge which he signed, not he
said because he was a drinker but be-
cause of the influence it might do to 9th
ers on seeing it. That one card pledge
said Mr.. Pearson, has been the mean
of making at least one happy home
since DIR. Aliens death.
MIR. Pearson ably and eloquently de
scribed the power of the drink habit ant
the glorious results to the family by
signing the pledge.
He closed with an impassioned appea
for signers. Forty three signed th'
