An English Author Wrote;

"No shade, no shine, no fruit, no fiow-
ers, no leaves.-November!" Many
Americans would add no freedom from
cata,,h, which is so aggravated during
this month that it becomes constantly
troublesome. This is abundant proof
that catarrh is a constitutional disease.
1t is related to scrofula and consumption,
being one OF the wasting diseases. Hood S
Sarsaparilla has shown that what is capa-
BILE OF eradicating scrofula, completely
cures catarrh and taken in time prevents
consumption. We cannot see how any
sufferer can put off taking this medicine,
in view of the widely published record OF
its radical and permanent cures. 1t is

time. His value to American literature
is not 60 much what he .dil.as what he

appreciates this, and there is subtle

granted that they know their own ideal

that there is some one master feeling
