There is more catarrh in this
section Of the country than all 9TH
er diseases put together, and until
the last few years it was supposed
to be incurable: for a great many
doctors pronounced it a local dis
ease and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment. pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven
Catarrh to be a constitutional dis
ease and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

Admit Sinking Gulfiight.

Berlin. May 29.-AH doubt that the
American steamship Gultiight was tor
pedoed by a German submarine Is
removed now that 1t is announced by
the admiralty that the commander of
the submarine in question admitted the
attack, reporting that he thought the
Gulfiight was a British vessel or that
she carried contraband.
The submarine commander. as rea-
son for his belief, set forth the oil
ship was being conveyed by two. pa
troll boats which made closer investi-
CATION dangerous.
The establishing of the fact that the
Gulhfght was torpedoed by one of the
kaiser's underwater boats probably with
have a great bearing on Germany's
reply to the American note. as 1t has
been held by the councillors of Berlin
that 1t would be first necessary for the
Urited States government to prove the
Gulfiight had been torpedoed by Ger
man submarine.
The main points of the German reply
to the American note on the sinking Of
the Lusitania are probably known to
the administration in Washington now.
so the note itself. which win be deliy-
cred today. will not come as a com
picte surprise. II will be furnished TO
the German press for publication on
Sunday.
