The readers of this paper will
be pleased to learn that there is
at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh be-
ing a constitutional disease, re-
quires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing it's
work. The proprietors have SO
much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dol
lars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.

on that.

them to compete with men of greater

1t so happens that the two extremes are
in the same company.
IT is most noticeable perhaps in cases
where men seek favor with women. A
young man feels it necessary to spend
weeks salary to take the girl of his
heart to the theatre Just because he
knows that other girls receive such at

knows that other men can afford to show
such attention to his lady.
