markable recovery in this city There
was no question about the genuiness
of the case. The patient, a lady. is
connected with one of our prominent
families. She was IN a hospital swollen
with dropsy, and the albumen was in
such enormous quantities as to solidify
in the tube.
Death was expected daily by the ply
sicien and family, when she was put on
a California treatment that was alleged
to be curing Bright's disease in that
state. The results created great as

There is more catarrh in this section of
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proved catarrh to be a constitu-
uonal disease and therefore requires con-
.stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., To-

Of this into public notice.

Manager McGraw. OF the Giants. says
that all old ballplayers stall" and ne

principal qualities in a manager for which
the owners pay big money II is his bust

men.

says McGraw. was his inability 10 get
! balls on his right side He consequently
would stick pretty close TO second and
stall away from balls on his right side.

The weakness Of this country in long-dis-

Britain is our superior
The only way 10 develop distance

country work. and II is up % us 20 edu-
cate the masses To the fact
One OF ths~mair reasons why Cornell
wins the cross-country intercollegiate
championship so often is that the men
feel il is Impossible 10 be beaten and 90

win that carries them through. in spite
Of obstacles. This spirit Of perseverance
gives Cornell a great advantage over
other colleges. Some day the others viii
