When it is to the interest of the

when the object has been at

The trusts are for the Repub,

last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
