MILLIONS OF LIVES LOST
An Awful Toll Collected by
Consumption. Many I'm
necessary Deaths

If people could only understand
that systemic catarrah is an internal
disease that external applications can
not cure, they would not need to be
warned so often about this malady,
which, when neglected. paves the way
oftentimes for consumption. at the
cost nf millions OF lives every year.
Yet catarrh may be cured, if the right
treatment is employed.
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 m"mb brane or inter
nal lining Of the body is toned up and
made capable OF resisting the infec-
tion of consumption and other dis
eases.

An important measure introduced
Thursday in The House by Represent
atiEe Morse of Waterford for the en- :
couraging of the reforesting OF waste
lands in the State Of Maine. The
resolve calls for an appropriation Of
$500 for each of the years 1911 and

fishing a State forest nursery in con-
nection with the school of forestry,
to supply forest tree seedlings at cost
of production for use in planting lands
in the state of Maine.
1t is claimed by the proponents of
the measure that the establishing of
a forest tree nursery is made nee
essary by the constantly increasing
demands upon tho department by cit
