swer. The instrument, after admitting

that II owed for labor n material the
sum of 3l,40O i'm addition to the above

cided to wind up its affairs. and so di-
rected the sale of the unissued stock to
Dunlap in cancellation of the amount

dent was instructed to sell the in
struments, etc, to Somers & Murray

Did you know hat s persons out of 10 in
New England have CATARRH? Did you
know it can be cured or money refunded? Did
you know that Catarrh is the cause of more
suffering than any other disease, it causes
deafness, consumption, dyspepsia, asthma, sore

extends to the stomach, dyspepsia, melancholy,
nervous debility. insomonia and insanity follow.

Instructed nose; or continual dropping mucus
in the throat especially at night, accompanied
by a deficiency, or even complete loss of smell
