NO ARGUMENT NEEDED.
Every Sufferer From Catarrh Knows
That Salves, Lotions, Washes,

Powders. lotions. salves, sprays and

The catarrhal poison is I'm the blood

system by secreting large quantities Of
mucus, the discharge sometimes closing

A remedy 10 really cure catarrh must
be an internal remedy which will cleanse
the blood from catarrhal poison and re-
move the fever and congestion from the
mucous membrane
The best and most modern remedies
for this purpose are antiseptics scientifi-

THE STUDY OF CRIMINALS.

pecting girls by means OF personal ad-
refreshments material for study Of
abnormal women"
For teacher to take an inventory Of
bodily pecuIiarities relating 70 the form
and size Of the skull. the position and
shape OF the ears, the height OF the

a piece OF impertinence that would not
be tolerated in any community And
while IL is proper and will always re-
main proper TO punish children for

mitted in any civilized community 90
mark out for observation children who

I need not say that il is entirely con-
trary to the spirit Of our criminal law
