There is more Catarrh in this ciou OF the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
incnrahie. For great many years doctors
pronounced it q local disease, and prescribed
local r NEEDLES. and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced 1t in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney 4 Co., Toledo,
Ohio. is the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in doses from
10 drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on
the blooi and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and testi-

OUR FIRST PATENT.
Granted at Boston In 1913 and Was
Called q MONOPOLY,

Granted at Boston In 1913 and Was
Called Monopoly.
To the general court of Massachu-
sets belongs the honor of granting
the first American patent. This was
In 1913 and was then designated as a
monopoly. 1t was confined to the re-
gion controlled by Massachusetts, and
the one issue apparently included all
the invention of the inventor connect
ed with engines that depended upon
water for their motive power. The
limit Of the monopoly was fourteen
years, and the court not only retained
power to forbid expectation, but to
prevent exorbitant charges upon the
public for their use. The patent was
issued in this form:
"Jenkes Monopolye.-At a general
