An OLD Chnrch Knockcr.

The grOtesque knocker on the sane
tuary dOor of Durham cathedral.
which bears Il rather distinct resem-
blance to lion, is said to be Of the
twelfth century. The hollows for the
eyes may have been formerly filed
with crystal or enamel, or, as it had
been suggested, the open eyes may
have been cOntrived to emit light from
within the church, so as to guide the
hapless being seeking sanctuary by
night to the welcome haven of safety.

A DAILY NUISANCE.
A Simple Remedy Which Will Interest
Catarrh Sufferers.

| In it's earlier stages catarrh is more
| of a nuisance than a menace to the
| general health, but sooner or later, the
| disease extends to the throat, bronchia
| tubes and even to the stomach and in
| es.nies
Catarrh is essentially disease of the
mucous membrane, the local symptoms
| being a profuse discharge of mucus
! stoppage of the nostrils. irritation ir
| throat. causing coughing, sneezing
gagging and frequent clearings of the
| throat and head.
The usual treatment by local DOUGH
es. snuffs, salves, etc, often gives tenn
porary relief, but anything like cure
can only be obtained by treatment
which removes the catarrhal faint from
| the blood and the disappearance of the
| Inflammation from the mucous sur
faces.
A new remedy which meets these re-
quirements and which so far has been
remarkably successful in curing ca
tarrh is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets act upon the blood and
mucous membranes only. They can
hardly be called secret patent medi~
liable remedies as Blood root Hydras-
tin. Red Gum and similar cleansing an
tiseptics, which cure by eliminating
from the blood and mucous surfaces
the catarrhal poison.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large.
pleasant tasting lozenges taken intern
ally, allowing them to dissolve slowly
in the mouth, in this way they reach
the throat. fauces and the entire ali
mcEtary canal
If desired, they may also be dissolved
in water and used as douche, in adj
dition to the internal use. but 1t is no,
at all necessary to use douche; a few
of them dissolved in the mouth daily
will be sufficient. However, when
there is much stoppage of the nose. a
douche made from these tablets will
give immediate relief. but the regular
daily use internally of these tablets
will cure the whole catarrhal trouble.
without resorting to the inconvenience
of a douche.
DIR. Bement states that the internal
treatment for catarrh is rapidly taking
the place of the old plan OF doucninS
and local application and further says
that probably the best ana certainly
the safest remedy at present on the
market is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, as
no secret IS made of their composition
and all the really efficient remedies Tor
catarrh are contained in this tablet

South Orrington on Monday evening is
very comfortable at the home of her
parents in this village. A consultation
was held and thorough examination
made on Tuesday by Drs. Tibbetts and

but the general activity is in line with
the policy adopted by the government
within the past few years to be in full
readiness for any emergency that
might possibly arise. While Portland's

The National House has passed the
bill to convey Widows island, with

Maine may use the place for a women's

Twas built in 1887, is two stories in
height ard is 50x60 feet in size. 1t cost
$50. OOO The island was bought by the
light house board in 1887 of private
parties for $500. The hospital was
built to meet an emergency which no
Longer exists. The navy department
lhas a small yellow fever hospital on
Woods island near Portsmouth, but
local influences necessitated it's ADAM
ldonment and it became Immediately
necessary to provide other accomo-
dations for possible yellow fever cases
that could not be cared for elsewhere.
| In consequence of effective sanitary
precautions the vessels of the navy
cruising in the West Indies have been
free from yellow fever for several
years. Meanwhile the health author

tablshed in the lower bay inside Sandy

event of yellow fever appearing on a
vessel it would be sent to New York as
the Maine hospital is not necessary.
There has not been case in it since it
was built.
