The Second
in Command

You may have seen him mentioned in
the war dispatches, cheap space writer for
yellow journal for want of news may have re-
ferred to him to fill a column, but in truth
and reality he never existed; he was a myth,
an unknown quantity, dream of fiction. The
second in command was never heard OF.
Surely not when the First Consul left Mar
tgny, with the army of France behind him,
undertaking and solving the problem OF cross
ing the Alps and arriving to the hour on the
field of Marengo gave battle to the AusrianS
and crushed them overwhelmingly. And Ma
poleon, after diSmountng from his horse,
threw his sword to his aid-de-camp, and
standing erect, looking up at Mont Blanc,
towards the country that adored him, eX-
claimed: "Francel have conquered a nation
for you'll"
Don't breathe then about the Second in
Command, it was the genius of Napoleon at
Marengo who was first there was no second,
the worlds history, and poSterity gave him
that richly earned credit of being First.
If there are no Seconds in Command on
the field of battle, there are surely none on the
field of Commercial Supremacy. Our TadcaS-
ter Ales know only one place, one position,
one reputation, and that is the First to
Command" and the "First to Demand"
and have the patronage of an educated pub
lie The public does not deserve and will
not accept an article of the Second Class.
Our famous TadcaSter AleS are dealt in by
all the leading bOttlers in this city, and is

CATAlRII

Catarrh has become suci, common disease that person entirely free from this disgusting complaint is seldom met with. It is customary to speak of catsrrh as nothing more serious than bad cold, a simple inflammation of the nose and throat. It is, in fact, a complicated and very dangerous disease; if not at first, it very soon becomes 90.
 The blood is quickly contaminated by the foul secretions, and the poison through the general circulation is carried to all parts of the system.
 Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis- factory and disappointing, because they do not reach the seat of the trouble. s. S. s. does. It cleanses the blood of the poison and eliminates from the system all catar- rhal secretions, and thus cures thoroughly and permanently the worst cases.
