From Catarrh.

The sufferer from catarrh, perhaps,
meets with more encouragement in
seeking a cur than those afflicted
with all other ailments. After ex-
hausting the skill of the best physi-
clans, and inhaling various mixtures,
paying out large sums for doctors
fees and medicines, he finds himself
either as bad off as at first or Il great
deal worse.
The cause of this is easily explained.
The disease Is in the blood, and only q
real blood remedy can possibly have
any effect upon it. The doctors being
unable, with their stereotyped reme-
dies of potash and mercury, to cure
diseases of the blood, direct their
efforts toward treating the symp-
toms of the disease, and ignoring its
cause. The inhaling Of various sprays,
and use of washes, ETC., Is but a su.
perfcial and temporary treatment,
and canhot possibly effect a cure.

In the history Of the Senate did its leaders
throw OF their representative character

A People without q Country.

When the Imagination Of EDWARD EVER
EFT HALE condemned PHILIP NOLAN to ex-
lie from his native land, and to the remorse-
less reminder OF his fate in the bar against
his obtaining home in some other country,
II seemed that severity could go no further in
devisinR moral punishment, nor deep love
OF country present a moro terrible picture Of
the sorrow that should follow its betrayal.
NOLAN was the famous person known as
the Man Without a Country" who, having
looked with hostility upon his own, was
sent out Of II, never to become citizen else
where, and thus TO end his days in n state
Of mental stagnation aud spiritual despair.
Yet, in q certain sense, that unfortunate
character has before us an actual successor
in the people Of Canada. They are to-day in
truth People without Country" with
out national independence, without the
sense Of devotion to the land they live In,
looking askance at their neighbors, worship
ping another country's flag, the flag Of Eng
land. while their territory is occupied by for
eign troops. and kept clinging by few i'm
perious aliens to a people thousands Of miles
beyond the sea, whose interests are no moro
Canada's than Spain's interests are Cubas.
Such an arrangement Is opposed both to
human nature and to political sense. Can
ada's natural portion is with the West
ern Hemisphere. as part of the American
people whose independence has bestowed
upon them the peerless glory Of patriotism,
and has enabled them to build up one Of the
great nations of the world. Every loyal
