In West S9th street, this city, Liquid

Applications from every state in the

policy Of the Parent Co. to dispose OF
their rights in the several states and
abroad to companies of high financial
standing, retaining a large controlling
interest in each subsidiary company.
Thus the stockholders of the Parent

The use of Liquid Air" for refriger-

many millions to the Tripler Co., as

This journal. although more particu-

ing, Is nevertheless always awake to
the need and wants OF its readers. let
the subject be what II may. We were
asked to investigate and report upon
the merits OF the various catarrh reme-
dies on the market. The production
OF preparations of injurious compost
ton cannot, unfortunately, be stopped
or restricted at present, or until our
state legislatures can be induced to
pass such suitable and stringent laws
as will effectually prevent their ap-
pearance on the market. In the mean
tlme, the people must look out for
themselves in this matter, We have
mace most careful and painstaking
investigation. realizing the confidence
that would be placed in our reply. Our
medical staff employed to make such
investigations were most favorably
Impressed with the preparation known
as Halls catarrh cure, manufactured
by r. j. Cheney & Co. of Toledo. Ohio,
and agreed that this peerless remedy
deserves our highest Endorsement
Many OF the catarrh remedies on the
market contain mercury, which de-
stroys the sense of smell and deranges
the whole system when entering
through the mucous surfaces. From
analysis we found that Halls catarrh
cure contains no mercury. 1t is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces Of the sys-
TEN. We have no interest whatever
In this matter beyond faithfully serv-
Ing our readers. and as our indorse-
ment is extended without reward OF
any kind and is wholly unsolicited by
this company, and will be received

statements have met with for the past
eighteen years.-Southern Review of
