, —There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
a great many yesrs doctors pronounced
it a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies; and by continually failing to
euro with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be a constitutional disease, and, there
fore requires constitational treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Cos., Toledo. 0., is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circular and testimonials. Address,

are; if you do not intend to go to
work, you cannot get along anywhere.

People Speak Well of Chamber
lain’s Tablets
“I have been selling Chamberlain’s
Tablets for about two years and heard
such good reports from my customers
that I concluded to give them a trial
myself, and can say that I do not be
lieve there is another preparation of
the kind equal to them,” writes G. A.

Things That Make Man Happy.

soms set; to draw hard breath over the
plowshare or the spade; to read, to
think, to love, to pray, are things that
make men happy. —Ituskin.
Has High Opinion of Chamber
lain’s Tablets

lain’s Tablets for biliousness and as a
laxative,” writes Mrs. C. A. Barnes,
Charlestown, 111. “I have never found
anything so mild and pleasant to use.
My brother has also used these tablets

No Surprise to Him.

nounced to his mother that Willyum

Faith in Chamberlain’s Colic
and Diarrhoea Remedy
“Chamberlain’s Colic and Diarrhoea
Remedy was used by my father about
a year ago when he had diarrhoea. It
relieved him immediately and by tak
ing three doses he was absolutely
cured. He has great faith in this rem
edy, ” writes Mrs. W. H. Williams,
Stanley, N. Y.
Naval Captains.
The saying runs that as soon as a
lieutenant is made a commander he be
gins to carry a stick, and as soon as a
commander becomes a captain he
“turns religious.” For justification of
the latter part of this assertion there
exists the undoubted fact that naval
captains are mostly serious minded
men who give some thought to the
greater things of life. Possibly their
hours of loneliness may conduce to
this frame of mind, though for the
most part their leisure hours are given
up to study of matters connected with
their calling. One well known captain
there was who used to hold prayer
meetings, which any member of the
ship’s company could attend. “Re
member, there are no rates to be pick
ed up here,” the captain would warn
them before the meetings started,
meaning that any one who came there
hoping to curry favor and thus get pro
motion would be disappointed. And
in this the captain was always as good
as his word.—-London Mail.
Experience the Best Teacher
It is generally admitted that experi
ence is the best teacher, but should we
not make use of the experience of oth
ers as well as our own? The experience
of a thousand persons is more to be de
pended upon than that of one individ
ual, Many thousands of persons have
used Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy for
coughs and colds with the best results,
which shows it to be a thoroughly re
liable preparation for those diseases.
Try it. It i3 prompt and effectual and
pleasant to take.

Parrots and Water.
“There is a curious superstition ex
istent among parrot keepers,” says L.
S. Crandall in Pets, “to the effect that
these birds not only require no wa
ter, but are better off without it. The
foundation for this absurd belief is not
hard to find. When parrots, particu
larly young birds, are being brought
from the tropics they are customarily
fed on boiled corn or bread and milk.
What moisture they require is obtain
ed from the food. If such birds are
suddenly given access to unlimited wa
ter the effect on the digestive organ is
dangerous and may result in the death
of the bird. On the other hand, if the
parrot be given a drink daily and then
the water be removed for a short pe
riod the bird will gradually become ac
customed to it. Once this is accom
plished there is nothing to fear from
clean water.”
What the Death Mask Shows.
The value of a plaster cast as a por
trait of the dead or living face cannot
for a moment be questioned. It must
of necessity be absolutely true to na
ture. It cannot flatter; it cannot cari
cature. It shows the subject as he
was or is, not only as others saw him
in the actual flesh, but as he saw him
self. • And in the case of the death
mask particularly it shows the subject
often as he permitted no one but him
self to see himself. He does not pose;
he does not “try to look pleasant.” In
his mask he is seen, as it were, with
his mask off.
