All doctors have tried to cure Catarrh
by tho uso of powders, acid gases, inlal-
| ors and drugs in paste form. Their pow
doris dry up the mucous membranes, caus-
ing thom to crack open and bleed. Tho
powerful acids used in the inhalcrs have
entirely eaten away tho same membranes
that their makors havo aimed to cure,
whilo, pastcs and ointmonts cannot reach
tho disease. An old and experienced
practitioner, who has for many years
made a close study and specially of the
treatm ent of Catarrh, has at last perfected
q treatment which. when faithfully used,
not only relieves at once, but permanently
cures Catarrf, by removing tho cause,
inflammation. 1t is INC only remedy
known to science that actually reaches
tho afflicted parts. This wonderful rom
edy is known as "SN NUFFLES, tho Guar
antoed Catarrh Cure" and is sold at tho
extremely low price of ono dollar, each

medicine sufficient for full months

THE LOST GARDEN,

Somewhere in the distant southland
Blooms garden--lost to me-
Warm with peoples burning fragrant,
Drowsy fires I may not see.
Subtle shadows fit and beckon
Down dim pathways bound with yew,
Where white wrath wanders lonely
'Twixt the darkness and the dew.
"1n the ruined walls that echoed
Once to happy-hearted moods,
Now the stealthy, lightfoot lizards
Unmolested rear their broods.
"And beneath the oleanders,
No clear voice sings, as of old;
But the feet caressing sunbeams
Whisper secrets to their mold.
Though follow as the southwind
Fares his way through wood and plain,
Though question hill and valley,
i shall never find again
my lost garden-where lie buried
Joys that swift the glad hours sped;
Only one could bid me enter;
Only Love-nnd Love Is dead!
