One Cure for Sarcasm.

Bunsen always was sarcastic.
One evening last week when he got
home his wife had a new hat to show
him. 1t was some hat. Anybody
could have seen that 1t was the final
phrase in female headgear.
But Bunsen started to make re-
marks. He said it looked as If II had
been trimmed by cross-eyed milliner
on an empty stomach. An he made
lot of other disparaging remarks,
Mrs. Bunsen was almost in tears
Bunsen had TO go into the other room
to have a quiet laugh at her expense.
The next day he had forgotten all
about the hat
The day after that he was reminded
Of It. Mrs. Bensen handed him bill
for retrimming that hat-s1S 81 it
came to.
Bunsen paid it without q murmur
and said the revised edition Of the hat
was just exactly right. He is not

New York.-The ocean-steamer Pres

burg, carried an immense consign
ment of big and little animals
and birds on the way to various zoolog-

The animal cargo of the President
Grant was the direct cause of furnish
ing the passengers the spectacle OF a

in the proceedings. The hippopotamus
was in a big cage on the deck. The

hippo light and air.

working in the galley near the hippo

for cakes. Suddenly there popped into

MILLIONS OF LIVES
An Awful Toll Collected by Con-
supplementary Unnecessary
Deaths.

If people could only understand
that systematic catarrh is an inter
nal disease chat external applica-
tons cannot cure, they would not
need to be warned so often about
this malady, which, when neglected,
paves the way oftentimes for con-
sumption, at the cost of millions OF
lives every year. Yet catarrh may be
cured, if the right treatment is EN-
ployed.
The only way to successfully treat
catarrh is by employing medicine
which is absorbed and carried by the
blood to all parts of the system, so
that the mucous membrane or inter
nal lining of the body is toned up
and made capable of resisting the in
lection of consumption and Other
diseases.
We have a remedy prepared from
the prescription of a physician who
for thirty years studied and made
catarrh a speciality, and whose record
was a patient restored to health in
every case where his treatment was
IOllONeQ as pIeSCTlDeu. L nat IeihSuy
is Rexall Mucu-Tone. We are posi-
tive that it will completely over
come catarrh in all its various
forms, whether acute or chronic,
that we promise to return every
penny paid us for the medicine In
every case where it fails or for any
reason does not satisfy the user.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone on our recommendation and
guarantee. We are right here where.
you live, and you do not contract
any obligation or risk when you try
Rexall Mucu-Tone on our guarantee.
We have Rexall Mucu-Tone in two
sizes. so cents and $1.00. Very Of
ten the taking of one 50-cent bottle
is sufficient to make a marked i'm
