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. Catarrh being greatly
influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Medicine is taken internally and

Chamberlain's Tablets.

When you are troubled with inIi.
gestion or constipation, take Cham
berlan's Tablets. They strengthen
the stomach and enable it to perform
its functions naturally. Indigestion
is usually accompanied by constipa

All success is a series of efforts,
in which, when closely viewed, are
seen more or less failures. The noun

a hill is reality nevertheless. If you

BEFORE 1T IS TOO LATE.

If you have a gray-hared mother,
And from home you are away,
Sit down and write the letter
You put off day by day,
Don't wait until her. tired steps
Reach Heavens pearly gate,
But show her that you think of her
Before it is too late.
If you've tender message
Or loving word to say,
Don't wait till you forget it,
But whisper it today.
Who knows what memories
May haunt you if you wait?
So make you loved ones happy
Before it is too late.
The tender word unspoken
The letter never sent
The long-forgotten messages,
The wealth of love unspent.
For these some hearts are breaking,
For these some loved ones wait,
So hsow them that you care for then
Before it is too late.
