There is more Catarrh in this section OF

stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has 2. oven
Catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

Trying to knIaht a Sweep.

The visit of the King and Queen to
Burton-on-Trent recalls a story that
has been told for generations past in
Burton, but which is so good that fl
is worth repeating.
During the latter years of the eigh-
teenth century, when George Ill. was
King, the Regent happened to visit
Burton, and being in an excellent
humor with himself, and also with
Burton, he wished to knight somebody
in honor of the occasion, and that
somebody the first man he could lay
hands on. A chimney sweep named
Saltinstall happened to be the near
est person to the Regent when he
formed his hasty resolution, and re-
CARELESS of the SCOT that came out Of
the mans clothing he seized the sweep
and told him he would knight him.
The man was too scared to utter
a word, but as the Regent was call
ing for a sword with which to confer
the honor the Marquis of Anglesey,
the Regents host pointed out that his
solicitor, John Fowler, was worthy
recipient of the honor The Regent
was, after some demur, persuaded to
alter his hasty decision; the sweep
was only too pleased to get away, and

APPENDICITIS
