FMTAHDH* FORERUNNER ° F VAIAKKn* CONSUMPTION. Few realize what a deep-seated, obstinate disease Catarrh is, regarding it as a simple inflammation of the nose and throat, little or no attention is given it. But, however insignificant it may seem at first, it is serious and far-reaching in its results. —558 The foul secretions entering the circulation poison the entire system. The stomach, kidneys —in K-A J/ fact all the organs — feel the effect of this catarrhal poison, and when the lungs are reached its progress - is rapid and destructive, and finally ends in consumption. It frequently happens that the senseis of hearing and smell are in part or entirely lost, the soft bones of Nnose eaten into and destroyed, causing intense suffering and greatly disfiguring the face. While sprays, washes and salves may give temporary relief, no permanent benefit can be expected from such treatment. CATARRH IS A CONSTITUTIONAL OR BLOOD DISEASE, and far beyond the reach of mere local remedies. Those who rely upon them for a cure lose valuable time, meet with disappointment and allow the disease to take firmer hold. Only a real blood remedy can reach this troublesome and dangerous disease. S. S. S cures Catarrh because it first cleanses and builds up the blood, purifies it, makes it rich and healthy, stimulates and puts new life into the sluggish worn-out organs, and thus relieves the system of all poisonous accumulations. Mrs. Josephine Polhill, of Due West, S. C., writes: “I had Catarrh, which became so deep-f-entti': it Iv. -jitiri’.v <• ; ; f i:i <ar, ami ;d’. ’ nsj. le of m v nose including part ■>f the Done. JKHHKKHH sloughed off. When the disease had gone this far the physician gave me up as incurable. I determined to try S. S. S. as a last resort, and began to improve at once. It seemed to get at the neat of the disease, and after a few weeks’ treatment I was entirely cured, and for more than years have had no sign of the disease.” xKKMk '■nßK S. S. S. is made of roots, herbs and barks of wonderful tonical and purifying jMt properties. It is the only vegetable blood purifier known, and a certain and safe 2ure for ail blood troubles.

Silenced the Doctor. The Christian Register says: “A cor- j respondent, apropos of our remark about eternal punishment, sends us the following reminiscences of Dr. Gannett. It was his custom to give a reception to the visiting ministers in anniversary week. “On one occasion Dr. Gannett suggested an objection to any dogmatic affirmation of universal salvation. lie said: ‘Why, brethren, suppose I elect to sin; suppose I enjoy it; suppose I want just that sort of future and don't want any other?’ “Mr. Calthrop. being present, immediately exclaimed, ‘But, Dr. Gannett, you wouldn’t be such a fool.’ “ ‘But suppose I will be such a fool?’ “ ‘Then,’ said Mr. Calthrop, ‘God Almighty and I together say, “Dr. Gannett, you shall not be such a fool.” And what God Almighty and I together say shall not be shall not be!’ ” Desecrating Graves. An English clergyman publishes the following notice in the parish paper: "The vicar earnestly requests the parishioners to put their family graves in order. He would also remind the men who smoke cigarettes and whistle tunes on the graves that the churchyard is not the parish dustbin. If, therefore, they are unable to get rid of the paper packets in which they purchase their pennyworth of ‘fags’ other than by depositing them in the churchyard, will they be so very kind as to let him have them on Sunday mornings after service? He will also gladly receive any other litter, such as tin cans and paper bags, which have hitherto been so lavishly deposited upon ‘God’s acre.’ ”

P.. recently attended the Anglican church in a certain continental capital, when the venerable clergyman who officiated read a sermon which, at any rate, prevented the congregation from going to sleep, for as bis theme developed he ucscribed his hearers as criminals, the children of thieves, drunkards, etc After awhile it dawned upon the preacher that he was reading the wrong discourse —he was a prison chaplain—so he brought It. to an abrupt conclusion
