STRAWBERRY GROWTH.

The Sarcoxie Tribune says "The rapid growth in the culture of strawberries in this vicinity has been phenomenal to say the least. The growers had hard struggle for existence the first few years. but now they have full swing and are rushing along sercnely on the uppermost wave of prosperity. The growth of this industry has been gradual from year to year and the history of it's success is best told by the actual car lot shipments as may be gleaned from the following statement for each year. Prior to 1890 there had been no car lot shipments. Berries had been raised and shipped, but only in express lots. The follow ing tabuIated statement very am ply illustrates the gradual growth of the industry

CATARRH. ''A.a ~,...A'''
COLD IN THE HEAD

Is acute Inflammation and swelling of the
Olfactory organ which contains the
Nerves of Smell. This organ is a long
ribbon-like membrane and hangs from
the roof of the Nasal passage in folds, as
seen in Fig. 3. When this condition be-
comes chronic, or permanent, it is called
CATARRh. The folds become swollen
into solid mass, SO the air in breathing
cannot circulate between them hence
the loss of smell. TheCatarrhal microbe
soon makes its appearance, causing
multitude Of small ulcers bstween these
folds. The pus from these ulesr1 is very
poisonous and soon impregnates the
whole mucous surface of the nose, hsad
and throat with the disease. Medical
works show cases where the tonslls hays
become corrupt mass of ulcers. 1t not
infrequently involves tho whole bronchial
passage TO the lungs, causing consump-
ton and death. IL will be seen that
nothing can radically cure Catarrh which
does not reach to the seat of the disease
between these folds of the Olfactory
organ, and cleanse and heal these ulcers.
