Catarrh being greatly influenced by constitutional conditions requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally and acts through the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith In the curative powers of Hall’s Catarrh Cure that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address: F. J.

In Hie meantime, it was learned the Swedish minister at London has been, in conference with Col. E. M. House for the purpose of setting forth the attitude of Sweden on all pending disputes with Great Britain. The Swedish note to Mr. Lansing charges that Great Britain despite repeated protests by the neutral powers has steadily increased violations of international law and unlawful structures on neutral trade. Particular stress is laid on the British seizures of mails en route between the United States and Sweden, and it is stated that Sweden realizes “its responsibility not to omit any measure” to prevent Great Britain from disregarding the lasi remaining tenets of international law. -

RENSSELAER PEOPLE GET INSTANT ACTION Those who have used it in Rensselaer are astonished at the INSTANT action of simple buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in Adler-i----ka. Because it acts on BOTH lower and upper bowel, ONE SPOONFUL Adler-i-ka relieves almost ANY CASE constipation, sour stomach or gas. It removes such surprising foul matter that a few doses often relieve or prevent appendicitis. A short treatment helps chronic stomach trouble. —A. F. LONG, Druggist.
