There Is more Catarrh In this sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together. and until the last
few years doctors pronounced 1t to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced 1t a local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment pronounced 1t incurable'
Science has proven Catarrh to be q
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.

a BUFFALO INSTITUTION
Known All Over the United States

DR.. Richard c. Cabot, who is head
Of the Massachusetts General Hospit-
al, has been writing for the American
Magazine, April and May, on the sub
ject of Better Doctoring for Less Mo-
ney."
He says that "a new era has come
in the practice of medicine, but most
people do not know it yet. We have
begun to emerge from that stage OF
medical work in which the doctor
was a peddler selling goods from
house to house, into the more adyanc'
ed and sensible era in which the doc
tor stays at his place Of business, like
anyone else who has goods to sell,
and the people who want these goods
come to him. The shop where he has
his goods to sell is generally called
a hospital and he has associated with
him there a body Of men and women
similar to work people, foremen and
mana gers of any industrial plant or
drv goods store. He has there some
beginnings O ia satisfactory division
of labor and specialization OF function.
Therefore, he can give the public a
much better article for less money.
1.-THE article l refer to is sound
medical advice and treatment"
This Is just what Dr.. Pierce has
been doing at the Invalids' Hotel in
Buffalo, New York. Dr., V. NJ. Pierce
has associated with him DR.. Lee II.
Smith, who is vice president and head
surgical director and operator, and
there are a dozen other physicians
and SPECIALISTS, as well as four chem
lists, and the poor and the very rich
get the best medical attention. AS
DR.. Cabot has properly said, when

ture will, in most cases, still be eff
feCtive, the specialists advise. I'm
less potato growers spray thoroughly
with Bordeaux mixture, they fear that
the large potato crop that has been
promised will not be realized, as late
blight, il uncontrolled, is capable Of
reducing the national crop at the rate
Of 1000, 900 bushels per day.
Potatoes in the northern States are
Just beginning to form tubers, To
produce a large crop the tops must
be kept healthy till frost, as the tu-
bers increase in size most rapidly
during the last weeks of the season.
The late blight kills the tops and
causes the tubers to rot in the ground.
The blight starts in a few centers in
the field where diseased potatoes
were planted. rown spots develop
on the leaves and a whitish mildew
appears on their under side. Ere.
uuent rains and warm, muggy weather
furnish ideal conditions for the de-
velopment Of the blight under which
the foliage blights rapidly, the
leaves hang blackened and dead and

the nbers begin to rot. Dry and
hot weather on the other hand tends
to check the progress of the blight
but growers should spray immediate
" and not trust their crops entirely
to improvement in weather condi-
tons.
AS an effective preventiev Of late
blight Bordeaux mixture has proved
