Iceland’s Wood.

While the bog-wood of Iceland proves the former extensive growths of large trees, the present forests consist chiefly of dwarfed birches, and trees fifteen or twenty feet in height are said to be rare. The decrease of wood-land is not a r» suit of climatic change or volcanic outburst, bnt has been brought about by the improvident destruction of trees by the inhabitants themselves. Don’t hawk, and blow, and spit, bnt use Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy.
