CATARRH LEADS
 TO CONSUMPTION

Catarrh is as much a blood disease as scrofula or rheumatism. It may be relieved, but it cannot be removed by simply local treatment. It causes headache and dizziness, impairs the taste, smell and hearing, affects the voice, deranges the digestion, and breaks down the general health. It weakens the delicate lung tissues and leads to consumption
 Hoods Sarsaparilla goes to the seat of the trouble, purifies the blood, and is so successful that it is known as the best remedy for catarrh.
 Hoods Sarsaparilla strengthens and tones the whole system It builds up. Ask your druggist for Hoods, and insist on having it. There Is no real substitute.

The vessel is completely controlled by wireless in towers on shore and is being taken to Gloucester for experimental pur- poses. The navigators of the craft did not care to make the trip to Glou- cester in the storm as their compasses are not adjusted. Owing to the metal lie material which will be put on the craft in Gloucester the adjusting of the compasses at this time would be a needless expense.

 THAN EVER BEFORE

CIergymenr Lawyers, Brokers, Me
 chanios and Merchants Stricken.
 Our old friend Rheumatiz is having his inning this year. and a few words of caution from one who knows all about it may not be amiss.
 Wear rubbers in damp weather; keep your feet dry; drink plenty of lemonade, and avoid strong alcoholic drinks.
 If rheumatism gets you, or sciatica, and you have sharp twinges, gnawing pain CT swollen joints or ralU.oc.as, you can get rid of all agony in just a few days by taking one-half teaspoonful of Rheurna once a day.
 All druggists know about Rheuma it's harmless, yet powerful; cheap, yet sure. and 50-cent bottle will last a long time. Ask Lee & Osgood or any druggist.
