Never, according to the testimony Of

there time when fircplaces were in
more general demand than at the pres

least pretentious, should be equipped
with at last one of them. NotWith-

early New England settlers are ia

They We're generally in the kitchen
and We're huge affairs around which
the whole family would gather in the
evening, cheered and warmed by the
genial blaze. Often the fireplace

exception, rather than the rule. foe
houses which were built to be fitted
with them and many of the old ones
were bricked up.
This idea. however. passed away in
due time and today they are more pop

houses they are used. not as a means
OF heating, as was the case in the
early days, but simply for the cheer
fulness and companionship Of the

wood fire is still regarded with the
greater favor and nothing is looked
upon as a satisfactory substitute.

CAT ARRIII

Catarrh' has become such a common
disease that person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. tits customary to speak of Catarrh
as nothing more serious than bad cold,
a simple inflammation OF the nose and
throat 1t is, in fact, complicated and
very dangerous disease; if not at first, it
very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison
through the general circulation is carried
to all parts Of the system.

factory and disappointing, because they
do not reach the seat of the trouble. S.
