Beware Of Ointments for Catarrh
that contain Mercury,

AS mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through

good you can possibly derive from them.

Flooring Made of Paper,

The newest floor is of paper and is
of German importation. The paper is
imported in a dusty, powdery form,
and is then mixed with kind of GEM
emit which gives substance TO the i'm
palpable stuff and a plaster-lile APP
pearance. It is said that when the floor
is laid the absence of joints and seams
like those of the hard wood floors is a
distinct improvement and without the
inconvenience of catching dirt. The
paste of which the floor is composed is
~ on and then rolled out with heavy
foller, specially adapted for that pur-
pose. something like street roller for
asphalt. The floor, when smooth, hard
and dry, is either stained or painted to
match or contrast with the woodwork
of the room.
