The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages
and that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional disease
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken inter
nally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system +,
thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitu-
ton aud assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers,
that they offer one hundred dollars
for any case that II fails to cure.

to have 1t replaced. Returning home
he found the lost set and, putting 1t
in his mouth for safe keeping, burri-
cd back to the jewelers. to have that
set used instead OF the new opal.
Rushing into the store. he said: ~
say, I've found the old set, so don't
use that new one." He attempted
to remove the stone from his mouth,
glve gulp, looked sheepish, and
said: 81 guess you'll have to use the
new stone"
