NATURES CATARRH CURE.
Sensible and Scientific Way to Cure
This Disasreeable Disease.

Nearly everyone suffers at one time

The natural way to cure this dis

In no other way can this be done as
naturally as by the use of Hyomei.

SO strong is H. o. Rolls faith in the
power of Hyomei to cure catarrhal

= Suggestion For New Ye.r.s

Instead of making impossible resolu-
lions in regard to reading Il long list of
books. why is it not good idea to write
down list of the twelve months and
put opposite each the name Of a single
good book that you might read 20 ad-
vantage? Then resolve to go through
at least six Of these, leaving the other
six to be abandoned if they do not
prove what you expect. says Books
and Reading" in January St Nicholas.
If your list is really well chosen ard
you do read six good books 10y the
end of the year you Will have done
much for the cultivation of n taste for
good reading-a taste unlike many 9th
crs that one Will hardly ever be able
to satisfy nor wish to.
