There is more Catarrh fin this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and for years it was SUD- posed to be incurable. Doctors prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with loccl treatment, pronounced 1t incurable. Catarrh is a local disease, greatly influenced by constitutional con- ditions and therefore requires constitu- tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Medi- cine. manufactured by F J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is a constitutional remedy, is taken internally and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces of the System.

How Glass Industry Shifted.

The ancient Roman glass works
shipped to all parts of the civilized
world; and specimens of their produc-
lions r today found throughout Eu-
rope, and even in Ireland. When
Rome commenced to decline and her
great people fled to Byzantium, they
took with them their glass industries,
and Constantinople became the great
est glass manufacturing city in the
world. This prestige 1t held up to the
tenth oil eleventh century, and when
1t entered upon its decline and fall the
glassblowers fled to Venice and there
established what afterward grew into
the celebrated Venetian glassware.
