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 ali 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 a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting upon
the blood and mucous surfaces OF the
system, thereby destroying the founda-
ton Of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the con-
stitution and 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 it fails to cure. Send for list

it's account of the Barry Weday fight

Jesse Woods, who refereed the fight,
had his hands full separating the two
men in the clinches. but he did his

persons present who viii endorse my

protest against this lauding of Referee
Woods. / declare it to be a fact that

and giving the defeated man a show,

in separating the contestants Mr..
Woods invariably handled Weday with
quite unnecessary force, and that on
one occasion ne threw Weday to the
floor and thereupon started to count
OF course it may have been done I'M
