BEWARE OF oINTMENTS FOR c..
TARRH THAT cohTAIk MERCURY,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
Of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Sucharticles
should never be used except on prescrip-
tions from reputable physicians, AS the
damage they will do is ten fold to the
good you can possibly derive from
them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
factured by F. J. Cheney & Co., To-
ledo, O., contains no mercury, and is
taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. In buying Halls Catarrh

This added to seasickness. to which they
are almost invariably subject. produces
an irresistible desire to desert. In other
instances assertions come about through
men becoming intoxicated and practically
irresponsible while Oh shore leave. In
the meantime their vessel may sail. These
men are not at first termed deserters,
but are set down as stragglers. If, how

is heard from them by the ship officers

At the end of the ten-day limit their
allotment is stopped. the bureau of navi-
cation is notified, and, in conformity to
an act Of Congress. their effects sold

transferred to the deserters roll. At the
