To-day we want to talk to
you about 6 Catarrh cures

During the past few months we have
been publishing what some of our good
friends have called "h~eart-to-heart talks"
on patent medicines.
That name suits lis all right-"heart-
to-heart talks" is just what we have
intended. There can't be anything more
serious to a sick man or sick woman
than his ailment and the remedies he or
she takes to cure it.
Our talks have been "heart-to-heart.
Every word we have printed has been
written in absolute earnestness and sim
certify, and judging from what our Gus
TONERS tell us, we have not been taking
in vain. We are convinced that our
frankness has been appreciated, and that
our suggestions have been Welcomed
which naturally encourages rs . con-
tinue.
To-day, and perhaps for some time to
come, we want to- talk about that big
class Of remedies known generally as
"catarrh cures"
Broadly speaking these are the patent
medicines that have been the chief tar
gets for the attacks of the Ladies'
Home Journal Golfers Weekly" and
other magazines which are waging such
a lively warfare against patent medicine
abuses.
AS we have pointed out in previous
talks, it is not our business to pass judg-
ment on the crusade Of these we'll
known, highly-respected publications.
The public alone must be the indge and
jury. Our business, as we see it, is TO
carry in stock a complete line Of patent
medicines, and to sell those medicines at
the lowest possible price.
We sell hundreds-yes, thousands of
bottles of so-called "~catarrh cures" and
know nothing OF their ingredients. The
manufacturers advertise them, the public
demands them; we order them from the
manufacturers, and sell them at the low
est price. That is absolutely as far as
our knowledge goes. The manufacturer
keeps his formula a secret. It may be
good, or it may Motive don't know, and
we have no means Of finding out.
Naturally, we would rather sell a rem

SENATOR AT %THlRTY-oNE.

We must go back to the days of
Clay to find a youngster Of the age
of Bryan Of Florida, chosen to the
Senate. As Che Kentuckian fully
justified his his carly elevation to SO
high an Office, we may all h,pe that
Mr.. Bryan will also. But, Of course,
in order to show his quality the
Floridian must secure an election.
The appointment will not give him
sufficient opportunity. The new
senator is an orator, and Florida
will be heard in the debates. Gradu-
ally states which for some time have
been silent in the senate are finding
their voices again. Pennsylvania
has sent a Knox in place Of a Quay
and Florida follows suit with Bryan
in place Of Mallory.

a Partisan who had not found "a

And wouldn't you rather buy that kind

Common sense most emphatically tells
You that we cannot afford to depart one
hairs breadth from the. rigid truth.
None Of us can deny that there is such
a disease known as "catarrh.' Those
who have it, or who have had it, know
that it is one Of the hardest diseases to-
cure. :,
Perhaps the worst thing about catarrfS
is its prevalence. Almost everyone
especially in a climate like ours-has
catarrh in some form or another. That IS
what has made the "catarrh cure" bust
ness so profitable. There are so many
thousands Of cases of the disease and it is
SO hard to cure. that the patent medicine
manufacturers have reaned a harvest in
preparing remedies that appeal to this
large class of sufferers.
One of the most serious things about
catarrh is that it breaks down the sys-
TEN, so that the sufferer becomes a prey
to other diseases. This fact has led the
proprietors of so many "catarrh cures"
to advertise their remedies as a specific
for almost every disease under the sun.
We have ONE catarrh cure that we
are willing to say to you; 1--WE know
this is all right. Take it home and use it
with the full assurance that if it does not
cure you, YOU can bring it back to lis
and we will promptly refund your
money" That catarrh cure is

TO IMPROVE WASTE GROUND.


Dual efforts have been resumed
for the improvement Of the great
semi-wilderness which lies between
Newark and Jersey City. The chief
of the bureau of irrigation and
drainage Of the department Of agri-
culture has been looking the ground
over with a view to retaining it for
agricultural purposes. Also an en-

been considering the question Of con-

to New York bay, which would make
Newark a deep water port. Each

The ingredients Of MuOu-TOns

The chief ingredients Of Mucu-Tone are Gen
tian, Cubebs, Caesars Sagrada, Glycerine, and
Sarsaparilla.
Gentian is recognized in medicine as one Of the
greatest tones ever discovered. 1t is the founda-
ton on which Mucu-Tone is built. Gentian COM
bines in high degree the tonic powers OF all the
known "bitters,' with none Of the disadvantages
applying 10 them.
Cubebs have long been recognized as a spe-
cifc in the treatment OF all catarrhal conditions
Its action is prompt and its benefits almost inva-
riabie. In whatever part of the body the infamed
or diseased condition Of the mucous membrane
exists, the use Of Cubebs has been recommended
BY the best physicians for many generations
Cascara Sagrada is especially introduced for
its necessary laxative properties
The combination Of these with Glycerine and
SarsapariIla makes Mucu-Tone a remedy that att
tacks catarrh from every point, gradually restores
and rebuiids the diseased tissues to their former
health and strength, promotes DIGESTION and Gre
ates a normal appetite. Large trial bottle, SOC.

To relieve the worst forms of rheuma-
tism take a teaspoonfuI of the following
mixture after each meal and at bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
These harmless ingredients can be op-
tanned from our home druggists, and are
easily mixed by shaking them well in
hottie, Relief is generally felt from the
first few doses.
This prescription, states well known
authority in a Cleveland morning paper,
forces the clogged-up, inactive Kidneys TO
alter and strain from the blood the poi
sonons waste matter and-uric acid, which
causes rheumatism.
AZ rheumatism is not only the most
nainfuI and torturous disease, but dam
eerous to life, this simple recipe Will no
doubt be greatly valued by many suner-
ers here at home, who should at once pre-
mare the mixture to get this relief.
II is said that person who would take
this prescription regularly, dose OF Two

never have serious kidney or urinary us
orders or rheumatism.
