Australian Forests.

With the exception of a living carpet of delicate maidenhair, which attains a height of from five to six feet, and of ropes of creeper ferns which swing from tree to tree like fairies in the castle of a giant, the forest of Australia is altogether bare of undergrowth? 'ln the woods of recent growth, however, vegetation is more luxuriant. The long tendrils of the clematis and rata connect trunk with trunk in garlands of white and scarlet Abloom and at their base flourishes an infinite variety of ferns, while here and there a graceful tree-fern rears its silvery-lined crown.

Kept up for years—the offer that’s made by the proprietors of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. It’s addressed to you, if you have Catarrh, l ilt’s a reward of SSOO, if they can’t cure you, no matter how bad your case, or of how long standing—an offer that’s made in good faith by responsible men. Think what it means ! Absolute confidence in their Remedy, or they couldn’t afford to take the risk. A long record of perfect and permanent cures of the worst cases—or they couldn’t have faith in it. It means no more catarrh—or SSOO. If you fail to be cured, you won’t fail to be paid. But perhaps you won’t believe it. Then there’s another reason for trying it. Show that you* can’t be cured, and you’ll get SSOO. It’s a plain business offer. The makers of Dr. Sage’? Catarrh Remedy will pay you that amount if they can’t care you. They know that they can—you think that they can’t. If they’re wrong, you get the cash. If you’re wrong, you’re rid of catarrh.
