edy that we know is right-that we can
back up with all our reputation Tor non

And wouldn't you rather buy that KIND
of a remedy? Wouldn't YOU rather hold
us responsible than 10 hold no one

where YOU can get at us every day i'll the

Are YOU not safer in taking our word
for the merits OF an article, than YOU are
to RELY on the printed statement OF pa

never even saw and probably never will9
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 catarrh
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 busi-
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 reaped harvest in
remedies that appeal to this
large class of sufferers.
One OF the most serious things about
catarrh is that it breaks down the sys-
tenn. so that the sufferer becomes 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 sum
We have ONE catarrh cure that we
are willing to say to you; we know
this is all right. Take it home and use it
with the full assurance that ii it does not

and we will promptly refund your
money. That catarrh cure is

During the past few months we have
been publishing what some OF our good
friends have called "heart-to-heart talks

That name suits us all right-"heart-

intended. There can't be anything more
serious to 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 y
Every word we have printed has been
written in absolute earnestness and SIN
cerity, and judging from what our Gus
toners tell us we have not been talking
in vain. We are convinced that our
frankness has been appreciated, and that
our suggestions have been welcomed
which naturally encourages lis 10 con

To- day, and perhaps for some time 10

other magazines which are wasing such
a lively warfare against patent medicine

The public alone must be the Judge and

carry in stock complete line OF patent

the lowest possible price.
We sell hundreds-veS. thousands OF
bottles OF so-called ''catarrh cures and

Plant its Nams.
About TWO centuries ago q Rus
sian nobleman travelling In Mexi.
CO saw and admired the maguey
plant. which is a native Of Mexico.
The plant was so much admired
by tho Russian for its beauty and
utility that he was eager to have
growing specimens in his own coun-
try. So when leaving Mexico he
procured some roots to take home
to the car as. y present.
On his first visit to court, after
he reached the capital city, he told
of the wonderful plant and asked
permission Of the cxar to present to
him the specimens which he had.
The ear graciously granted his re-
quest and gave the roots to the
court gardener, who promised to
give the plants his best attention,
but unfortunately before he could
plant them properly as he intended
heasas taken suddenly i'll and died
without having. accomplished any
thing.
Another gardener was appointed.
In the meantime the roots lay in tho
sack in which they were first placed.
The new gardener, not knowing
their value, threw the sack away,
and it lay unheeded in = corner Of
the garden day after day. Some
time afterward his little daughter
picked up one Of the roots and in a
playful mood planted it, but paid
no further attention to it. The
czar had forgotten all about it. In
course OF time the ruler died and
also the second gardener.
The plant in after years put out
few spikes for leaves, but did not
thrive in the cold air Of Russia. II
grew very slowly, and its origin was
not known to any one save the wife
Of the former gardener and the
child that planted it.
Years passed, and still the strange
plant, with its thick, long, straight
leaves, now nearly six feet tall. did
not bloom, but as it grew taller it
attracted notice, and the new ear
sometimes looked at it and wonder
ed if it would ever bloom.
In time he, too. died, and still
the maguey bloomed not.
But just after the coronation OF
another ear a stalk shot up from
the root Of the plant and rapidly
grew to the height Of twenty feet.
Soon many clusters Of small buds
appeared, which slowly unfolded
and became white blossoms. The
wonderful plant had bloomed at
last.
The gardener said it was 100
wears old and had bloomcd in hon
or of the new czar Word was sent
TO him. and he and hiA whole court
visited and admired the Mowers snd

skies of Mexico had earned its re-
ward and new name, for ever since
that day it has been known a. ''the
