Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being constitu- tional disease, requires constitutional treat- ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous sur- faces Of the system, thereby destroying the foundations of the disease, and giving the pa- tient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doirg its work.

She Was a Slayer.

One of the longest visits on record Is one that was made by a woman in the south. Perhaps such a thing could not have happened in a less hospitable part of the country. The visitor was one of those most unfortunate waifs and strays of the country-a refined woman with no home of her own. That was in the days when women were ex- pected to be cared for and not go out into the world to look out for them selves. This woman went one day to spend the day with a friend, and she remained for twenty-five years. She Outlived the father and mother of the family, took their places to some ex- tent in the hearts of the children, and for all those years she lived there hap py and beloved and giving in return for her home those services which can. not be ehired.-Exchange.
