Catarrh.

Catarrh is one of the most obstinate
diseases, and hence the most difficult
to get rid of.
There is but one way to cure it.
The disease is in the blood, and all the
sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures
in the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe-
cific cures Catarrh permanently, for it is
the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force it from the blood.

CHICAGO, Oct 25-English consols were again lower at the start and the Liverpool wheat market opened excitedly higher. The logical result of that by itself should have been a wild scramble for wheat here and a much more material rise in prices than occurred the day before Wheat speculators had. however to take account of many things that were not paraded in view of the multitude, and 1t was due to some of those obscure influences that a severe decline in prices that inaugurated the days business was not Illogical as appeared upon the surface.
