CATARRH IN THE HEAD.

A Con stitutiOnal Disease, Requiring a
/ rl-sa. Constitutional Remedy.
Catarrh in the head consists of infan1-
nation of the mucous membrane in the
nasal passages, and sometimes it extends
to the air cavities which cover con-
siderable portion of the face. Catarrh
in the. head frequently destroys the
senses of taste and smell, and it's tenden-
cy is always facilitating. The best au-
thorities say catarrh is just as surely a
constitutional disease as is scrofula. 1t
is caused and promoted by impure blood.
The teaching of experience proves that
the true way to cure catarrh is to purify
the blood. The One True Blood Purifier
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read the testi-
mOnials of those who have been COM
pletely and permanently cured of catarrh
by purifying their blood with Hood S
Sarsaparilla. Thousands of such state
ments have been written by honest,
straightforward men and women; they
have been published year after year; and
their genuineness is beyond any possible
question:.
If you are suffering from catarrh, do
not daily with snuffs, inhalants and use
less local applications. Take the direct
road to health. Cleanse the stream at
the fountain head. Purify your blood
with the One True Blood Purifier,
Hoods Sarsaparilla. In short time
you will be convinced of the wisdom of
this course. Hoods Sarsaparilla will
give you an appetite, tone and strength
en- your stomach, make rich, red blood,
and remove all the disagreeable symp-
toms of catarrh by permanently eradi-
eating the causes which produce them.

former festive season, for long time
preeluded any Christmas festivities, but
as tlme went on and the deep wound was
nealed, the Queen returned to her old
NE and ways. Christmas, though shorn
OF many Of its former gayeties, still
relgns supreme at Osborne, where the
Queen always spends her Christmas.
She has always gone there since the
death of the prince, Windsor being TOO
tuli of sad memories, so that after the
services held on the anniversary OF the
prince consort's death, the court goes to
the Isle Of Wight. The Queen always
attends church on Christmas day and
receives the holy communion with those
Of her family who are with her. The
Duke and Duchess of Connaught, the
Princess Louise and Lord Lorne, beside
Princess Henry of Battenberg, are
those of her children who generally
spend Christmas with the Queen. Some

children are also there, and Princess
