A Forcible Lesson. A great and most patent error in taste Is the habit of monopolizing the man who bas tarried to pay his compliments to a girl in passing, until he and all lookers on are made aware of a certain apprehension on her part lest he escape. A severe, but useful, lesson was conveyed to a very y ounc girl recently. An old friend of her father's family approaching under these conditions to give her gracious salutations, she ex hibited such evident nervousnessin answer, that the gentleman laid a hand on the young fellow's arm nnd remarked, with pleasant emphasis: "There, my dear, I have him safe, and he cannot get away.

I have been a great sufferer from ca taarrh for over 10 years; had it very bad, could hardly breathe . Some nights, I could not sleep and bad ta walk the floor. I purchased Ely's Cream Balm aDd am using it fretly, it is work ing a cure surely. I have advised sev eral friends to nse it. and with happy re sults in evtry case. It is the medicine above all others for catarrh, an 3 it is worth Its weight in go'd. I thank God I have found a remedy I can nse "with safety and that does all that ie claimed for it. It is caring my deafness. B. I W. Bperry Hartford, Conn. Mr. Herman Hicks Of Rochester, N. Y. Deaf for a Year Caused by Catarrh in the Head Catarrh is a Constitutional disease, and requires a Constitutional Remedy like Hood's Sarsaparilla to cure it. Read : "Three years ago, as a result of catarrh, I entirely lost my hearing and was deaf for more man a year. 1 tried various things to cure It, and had several physicians attempt It, but no improvement was apparent. I cswlrf dUfia uiafc !. I was Intending putting myself under the care of a specialist when some one suggested that possibly Hood's Sar saparilla would do me some good. I began taking it without the expectation of any lasting help. To my surprise and great joy I found when I had taken three bottles that my hear Sag was rctaraiag. I kept on tifj I had taken three more. It is now over a year and I can hear perfectly well. I am troubled but very little with the catarrh. I consider this a reasarkable case, and cordially recommend Hood's Sarsaparilla to all who have catarrh." Herman Hicks, SO Carter Street, Rochester, N. Y.
