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 it's stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces OF
che system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving the
patent strength by building up the con.
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have SO
much faith in It's curative powers, that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list
of testimonials.

His Last Hope Realized,

From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont1
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers IN 1889, the editor of this paper
was among the many seekers after for
tune who made the big race one fine day
in April. DuIing his travelling about
and afterwards his camping upon his
claim, he encountered much bad water,
which together with the severe heat,
gave him a very severe diarrhoea
which it seemed almost impossible to
check, and along in June the case be-
came so bad be expected to die. One
day one of his neighbors brought him
one small bottle of Ohamberlain's Collie,
Che lera and Diarrhoea Remedy as last
hope. A big dose was given him while
he was rolling about on the ground in
great agony, and in few minutes the
dose was repeated. The good effect of
the medicine was soon noticed and
within an hour the patient was taking
his first sound sleep for a fortnight.
Tha one little bottle worked a complete
cure, and he cannot help but feel CRATE
full. The season for bowel disorders
being at hand suggests this Item, For
