A Great Geological Garden.

The Geological Society of New York
propose to construct what will probably
be the finest geological garden in the
world in Bronx Park, New York, and
under the direction of the executive
committee the plans are being fully
elaborated. The society expects to open
the garden to the public in a satisfac-
tory way on May 1st, 1899. While the
work is progressing with all due rapid
ity and zeal, the old and well approved
plan of relieving biliousness and consti-
patton through the beneficent agency of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters finds gem
eral recognition. This excellent family
medicine is a safeguard against malaria
and rheumatism, and removes indiges-
ton and nervousness. 1t invigorates
the system through the medium of i'm.
proved digestion and appetite, fortifies
it against disease, and counteracts the
effects of overwork, mental or physical.
A wineglassful before retiring engend

systematic trial that it deserves.

Three Doctors in Consultation.
From Benjamin Franklin.

when you are sick, what you like
best is to be chosen for a medicine In
the first place; what experience tells
you is best, to be chosen in the second
place; what reason, d. e., Theory
says is best is to be chosen in the last
place. But if you can get DR.. Inclina-
ton, DIR. Experience and DR.. Reason
to hold consultation together, they
will give you the best advice that can
be taken.
When you have bad cold Dr. In
clination would recommend Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy because it is
pleasant and safe to take. DR.. Ex-
perience would recommend it because
it never fails to effect speedy and
permanent cure. DIR. Reason would
recommend it because it is prepared
on scientific principles, and acts on
natures plan in relieving the lungs,
opening the secretions and restoring
the system to a natural and healthy
condition. For sale at Matthaei's

There is more catarrh in this sec
ton Of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incura-
Bile. For great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly falling to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and, therefore,
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally, in
doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful.
1t acts directly on the blood and mu-

offer one hundred dollars for any case
it fails to cure. Send Tor circulars
