BE WE, EACH A SO ALL, FORGIVEN." A week went by, a week of misery for •every one at Darnel Park, and for at least •one person outa.de tlio gates a week which .had brought no new tiding* of any kind.

Mr. Penwern had gone back to Scotland Yard a confessed failure, and Dora was scathing in her contempt for the detective force. He hud eaten and drank he had leen hancLsomely p.:id for hl3 services: he had gone ujuci expensive journeys to Liverpool an Plymouth and Cork but he lia 1 failed to arrest the f'wtsn-p of Jaker. cr even to discover what white whig* had »vafted .Jaker and his fortunes westward. Among tlje crowd of emigrants for that uvc.itern paradise, tho poacher, a marked Ttinii in the neighborhood of Darnel, had been but an insignificant unit, and he had It-ft no tr:c! behind him in the memory of laiioriTH or quay-side loiterers."

The note changed by Jaker at the village tshp had been identified by Sir Allan's Hr,nker.« a-« ne of the notes issued to him. This fa. established Jaker's guilt in the iT'.ind of the detective. But it did not .satisfy D^r-v Darnel. From the first she Jtuid m&dt? up lit mind that her sister-in-law wai in somewise implicated in the -guilt of that fatal night. She was not lk '.it!y to surrender that belief. It -was the f.rui'ion her own evil thoughts, tin: culmination of iier long-cherished dislike of her !ror .1 r'a wife. She was not poing to rc!l:u r.i.h !ier own convictions, the outcor.ie of much intense thought, merely because t..o real caiminal had been olever enough to pass some of his plunder to .J.if.cr. 1:0 doubt with tho express in'.of putting justice on a lalne sce:it.

A wei'i had me by since that mornlns when Chive r:: -1 had entered her husIjaml'H rn ..t, full of love and hope, to lw received wl.h such crushing coldness. She li.t.l nots him since that hour. She had waited meei.ly till he should summon her 1 is !ed i»-. \v i.i re:tdy to bo4»' tho puaislum-i' of h'*r .sin against him, that 011c .-.ia of onwalment, ready to acknowledge (hat *'.e had erml in withholding her coiiii'teiM'!.* .. :i the husband and friend to \vh :i she m'.'d ail her allegiance.

During 1 ii" week that .va« just ended, „Slr Allan h-'-d made nmrku.1 progress to 'avard rot0 ry. A po\ve»'fnl» constitution and habit- c\ceptio:ial temperance had

I !il ii -alllj ea^y* when I -i a! ••i MIC -esftfully ex-..-d, i: 11:t I he -n gradually regaining .-uKi, tody aid min during that tv'v »•». a.11 sedinion. He hod seen hit d.mgh.'.v one •, hi sL-itor tliree times. 1. a had urjod her right to see him, and lu yl N.i.'d to her wish, not without reluctance. had sat with him for an tr on e.ic.h occasion, and she had talked t*nft 1 y, in Imv and gentle accent'*, yot dropping such drops of venom as those lips of li'rj were wont to distill when her brother's wife was the subject of conversation. Whatever Sir Allan thought of her insinuations ho had been Inscrutable.

And now tho day had cotno when ho felt himself equal to an interview with his wife—that Interview which he felt must needs be final. His house must uo longer shelter a traitoress, his daughter must Uo longer call an Infamous woman mothe^. If was to Uraco, his only child, his darling of peaceful days gone by, that ho turned In this hour of dark despair. Amidst tha shipwreck of his happiness she was the Htraw to which he lung. And now, to-day, %vheu he had to pronounce judgment upon Ids guilty wife ho summoned Grace to st md at his side, to be, in some measure, judge between him and tho woman they both had loved. Grace would incline to mercy. Grace would pity tho sinner, evbn In the inlist of in ii-jmuim at tho sin.

It was tho first day upon which Sir AlI vt had In'en well enough to sit up for an Jiwiir or two. Ho looked tho pale ghost of hI old self, as ho it by the fire, wrapped In a long bro-iuki dressing-gown, bord" vd with sable, as picturesque as tho toIh*

of a Venetian seuntor In tho sixteenth century. The gown had been planned and chosen by ljiuly Darnel, and made In secret, as a birthday gift for her husband. Ho remembered that fact when his valet handed him the garment, and would have avoided putting It on—but his only other dressing-gown hail been stained with blood on the fatal night. Ho could not reject the obnoxious robe without too plainly indicating his antipathy, and ho did not want to make his wife's disgrace common talk In the household.

He sent for his wife and daughter and they came to him, side by side. Grace ilew to the hearth, where ho sat in a spacious arm-chair. She (lung herself upon lier ktHM beside him and nestled her bright head In his lap. "Oh, father, what delight to be with you," she murmured.

Claw stood a little way off, calm, erect, but very pale. If she stood before him thus as a criminal, conscious of that last worse crlmo of which a wife can be guilty, she was indeed tho most audacious among women. Hut though her face expressed a proud tranquillity, and her eyes, grave, sorrowful, reproachful even, looked at him unshrinkingly, she was content to stand aloof, as one who knew there was an Impassable gulf between herself and him. So Allan Darnel thought lu his agony as ho looked at tho wife he had loved.

Ha«l loved Is there ever an end to such a love as this? Did Lucius Junius Brutus ceo.s to love his sons when, as their judge, he condemned them to death?

New had Allan Darnel loved yonder pale, beautiful woman more intensely than he loved her now, in this supreme .hour of her renunciation. **(.» race, I have sent for you because I have that to say to Ivirty Darnel which I wish von to hear," he began, gravely. "There are some father# who would keep *uch a sorrow as mine forever secret from a daughter, who would httsh up and slow over facts, leave all things In darkness tuul mystery, a something to be wondered about forever afterward but have chosen to act ot hotwise. You are a woman, And it can you no harm to know that there are wiek«l women in this world as well as good women. I give you my whole confidence. Grace, because you are wise well as loving." "Father.* cried the girl, looking at him with horror, "what ar* jtm going to sayt Not one won! against my mother.* "Hash,* exclaimed Sir Allan, putting his hand upon hor lip*. "You most new Again call that woman by sach a name. You look own her to-4|y, I feqp, for the

lastt'time. Lady Darnfl* and are going to part, Grace, forever. There is no need foe me to enter upon the reasons for that parting. She knows what those reasons are as well as There need be no public scandal, no disgrace for her—whom we have both loved. Lady Daniel is comfortably provided for under her settlement. She will do w?ll to gd abroad, alleging any reason she may please, not dishonorable to me, for oar separation. 1 would spare her all the pain I can, althougii her infamy wt*ll nigh cost me my life althui:?. .er midnight visitor did his best to mur.ia- me." "Father, father," cried Grac, with a wild shriek of horror, "you are wrong—deluded —deceived—deceived by me, your wretched daughter. It was in the hope of seeing me that that man came to this house. He had been lurking about all day. Ke wanted to get an interview with me—to claim my promise—perhaps to ask me for money, since he w6s brought so low." "Grace, what are you raving abont? You are mad," exclaimed Si* Allan, looking from his daughter to his wife in sheer bewilderment.

Clare had not said a word. She stood be fere him silent, imperturbable, waiting to hear his accusation in all its fullness. She wanted to hear him to the end—to learn the lowest depth to which she had sunk in his estimation before she uttered one word In her own defense. And now Grace had come to the rescue Grace, the generous and impulsive aud the whole story must needs be told. "No, father, dearest, I am not mad but I have been foolish, blamable, wicked eveh for it was wicked to keep the secret of my foliy from the best and kindest of fathers. I am deeply ashamed of myself. If that dreadful wound had been fatal I should have been the most miserable crenture in the world. I could not have gone on living, knowing that my folly had been the cause of my father's death."

Aud then brifly, bravely, without disguises or sophistications of any kind, Grace Darnel told the history of her engagement, told how she had seen her scampish lover upon the Chicksand common when they were out cub-hunting In the morning, and how she had seen no more of him. "You did npt see him again at nighfc, then?" questioned her father. "Hotf do you know that it was ho whom I saw in the next room—the man who fired the shot?" "I do know it—as well as any one can know anything from circumstantial evidence, but it is along story. Hark! there is a carriage," cried Grace, rushing to the window. "It must bo the colonel. I had a letter from him this morning saying he would try to bo back to-day. lie knows everything. He can convinco you that I am telling the truth." "Ho knows," said Sir Allan. "You trusted him, then, when you dared not trust your father?" "Because I was not one little bit afraid of him. dear, indulgent, oid thing," cried (Jrace. "May he come up at onco? I am dying to see him." "Not yot, Grace we must have the story out first. If—if I have wronged your stepmother as deeply as your words imply—" "You have wronged her, deeply, cruelly, outrageously. There never was a more devoted wife. I know how she has suffered all through your illness.poor tiling, and she stands there like a statue, accused of crimes of which I alone am guilty." "Clare," cried Sir Allan, holding out his arms to his wife, trying to rise, but almost too weak to lift himself from the capsr cious depths of the low arm-chair. "Clare, can you forgive me?" "Allan, my beloved husband."

Sho flew to his arms. On her knees, with her head upon his breast, fihe sobbed out the fullness of her heart. "No, Allan, no," she gasped, when her passionate tears had exhausted themselves,

"110,

I am not without guilt. I, too

have been weak and cowardly. Like this poor girl here, I havo had my secret. I have kept one Bluebeard chamber in my life locked from you, tho best and most generous of men. Grace is mistaken. Her unprincipled suitor, tho unhappy young man who in Paris called himself Victor do Camillac, came to this house on that dreadful night to see me, to obtain money from me, from mo whose purse had been emptied for him, timo after time, since my marriage. You must have often wondered what I did with my money, Allau, how I contrived to get rid of that handsome Income which your love had settled on me. You know now. It was not spent on privato charities a? you fancied. It was not frqm motives of benevolence that I stinted myself of those luxuries women love. It was my worthless son who drained ray purse and squandered your money iu gambling clubs and on race-courses." "Your son?" "Yes, my son, Stuart Mackenzie's son, who, God help him, has inherited all Stuart Mackenzie's vices, Including the capacity for murder. My son, who may before long be standing in the criminal dock to be tried for the crime of that fatal night, and to bring disgrace upon you through your wretched wife. He was not drowned, as we thought, la the 'Erl King.* He wrote to mo from San Francisco within two months of my marriage. He had seen tho announcement In an English paper, and he congratulated me on my good fortune and my power to help him. From that time to this his letters have been one long series of demands. I have complied, weakly, hopelessly, ready to grant anything rather than to let you know my trouble, rather than that you should feel ashamed of your wife's son. He Is mine, you know, my very own, my flesh and blood. No dishonor can touch him that does not cast its shadow upon me, I could not bring myself to confess how low he has fallen. If 1 had told yon anything I must have told you all. I preferred to keep my secret, and in this one matter to be a hypocrite." •Poor Clare, poor misguided Clare. As If I should fall you. love. Why, I would have stood by you and helped you if you had been the mother of half a dosen scampish sons.* •Ah. yon are so good! But I wanted to spare you all trouble and worry." "And so worried yourself out of health and spirits. All wroa& Clare," said Sir Allan, gently, "I ried, under these conditions, to do my duty to my wretched boy, tried to be his Adviser and guide, to pat him in an honorbly way of life, 1 gave him the swans ol living sagen"- man: the leisure to cultivate prof* son of his choice. I refused no request he made mew 1 lent a willing ear to his promises of amend men. All in Tain. He was a drunkard and a gamblwr—his vices wnere ingrained in him a hide**«* herafc -y t—the leprosy ol n. When he tuure me that night, thread ban?, down at the heel, haggard, v, I knew thai he had fallen to the

U*pth of moral and physical ruin. His shaking hands and restless manner told me too plainly that he was a sufferer from his tether's old disease, the brandydrinker's fatal fever. Ilejha^so •offered

before, as I knew. He hardly emerged from boyhood when he was first attacked "by that horrible complaint. I knew all this but I did not know that he

could be

itiad enough or wicked enough to attempt murder. He told me of his courtship of Grace—admitted that he had passed himself off us a Frenchman, was daring enough to talk about claiming the fulfillment of her prouiLso directly she came of age. He asked me ,for a large sum of money, which I refused: and, while I was absent from the room, he opened the Japanese cabinet where you had put the the uo:es—he must have seen yon from tii balcony—and Was ia the act of making oar with them when you entered." -I understand," muttered Sir Allan. "It was the money that made him desperate. I had forgotten all abont that money." "Other people did not forget. Miss. Darnel brought a detective from London, aii.l he pat toe whole story together." -Dora brought a detective here, anc' without my permission!" exclaimed Sii Ailan. "She brought the police into th. house while I was lying unconscious here That was rather a wide stretch of lie. authority as my sister."

VYe were so anxious about you, dearest/ murmured Gr: ce. "I dare say it waa Aunt Dora's anxiety which made her send for the detective." "I don't think the whole of Scotland Yard could have done very much toward saving my life, Gracie. It would have been mora sisterly of your aunt to have postponed her inquiries till I was able to sanction them." "She could not have guessed that the thief was my son and Grace's suitor," said Lady Darnel. "Happily for us, the man from Scotland Yard was beguiled by a false scent, and my wretched son is still at liberty. God only knows where he is, and what we may next hear of him." "Nothing bad, I hope, mother," said Grace, "for the colonel has undertaken to look after him aud as I had a very cheery letter from the dear old man this moniing, I have no doubt he has managed everything admirably. Would you mind his coming here now, father? I am dying to hear what he has done." "Yes, Grace, you can .send for him now."

Grace went off to deliver her own message, and Allan Darnel and his wifi were alone for a little wnile. Alone, anc side by side, full of trust in each other, just as they had been before the crime which for a little while had wrapped tlieii lives in a black cloud. "Ah, Clare ^-liat a besotted idiot—what ruffiaa have been to you," said Sir Allan, lifting his wife's hand to his lips. "What shall I do to atone for my brutality?" "Get well and strong as fast as ever you can, dearest, and let us start upon that Jelicious journey to the Italian hikes. And—yes—there Is oue other favor I should like to ask you." $ "There is nothing you can ask, love, which I will not grant." "I think, Allan, when we come back to Darnel it would be better for your sister to find a home elsewhere. I do not believe that she and I can ever be quite happy and at ease under the same roof, for I have an idea that she detests me." "And upon my honor, Clare, I believe j-ou are right. Sho shall find another home. You and I will have nothing but sunshine in our domestic lives. You don't mind Grace, do you? Grace is devoted to you?" "And I am devoted to Grace. I shall be very sorry when we tire obliged to part with her. Ah, Allan, while we are still alone, tell mo that you can forgive the trouble I have brought upon you through my unhappy sou—poor Grace's entanglement—that terrible wound which has Imperiled this dear life.. If you had never famown me these things might not have happened." "If I had never known you I should have missed knowing tiue happiness. We must take the sour with the sweet, the thorns with the roses, dear love. Life is made so. As for Grace, she Is a fine, impulsive creature, created to get into mischief of some kind in the Hush of youth and folly, like a roe caught in a thicket. And she might havo met your scampish son iu the Louvre all the same hod 1 never met you." "Hardly, Allan, for it was your money that gave him the means of living in Paris." "Here comes the colonel," said Sir Allan.

Grace came gayly Into the sick-room, bringing her Iudian warrior, whose fine, benevolent countenance beamed with kindly feeling. "A! dear Allan, this is a change for the better, Lady Darnel, I congratulate you," he said a3 he sunk Into the chair which Grace wheeled forward to the hearth. "I was very sorry to leave Darnel while you were In such a critical state but I had some particular business in town—" "You can speak before father and mother they know everything about Monsieur de Camillac." "I am very glad of that, Grace. First and foremost, then, there are your letters," said the colonel, handing her a sealed packet. "You can count them by and by, and see if they are all right And there is a letter from the young man, whose name is no more Camillac than it is Stukely." "Grace knows his real name now," said Clnre. "The deuce she doesP cried the colonel. "It's more thau I do, for I believe the fellow has half a dozen aliases. However, Grace knew the man as Camillac and as Camillac he writes to her, renouncing all claim upon her, acknowledging that he was altogether unworthy of her girlish confidence, and that he obtained her promise under false pretenses. The letter was writen on board the Crizaba, bound for New Zealand, where I have dispatched our young friend under the aire of a doctor who Is going to settle in the colony and who will look after Mr. Camillac and set him on his legs when he gets there. If there is any capacity for reform in the man he will have a fair chance of redemption." "God grant that he may take advantage of IU" exclaimed Clare. "Oh, Colonel Stukely, how can I ever be grateful enough to you for this good work?" "You?" said the colonel, lookingpualed. "Ah, you do not understand yet. You have not been told alL The service done for Grace is a tenfold boon to me. The man you have tried to rescue is my son. Valentine Stuart Mackenzie. If you have indeed saved him—* ~lf he had been my own son I could not have done anything better for him." "And you have taken all this trouble, you have spent a great dead of money,* began Lady Darnel, hut the colonel Interrupted hear. "Don't talk about the money. The whole business has cost very little more than a hundred so far. And that reminds me that I have some money ol yours in my pocket-book, Allan, just half of the notes which Lady Darnel's son took in his mad fit. The other half fell Into thedutchfts of Jaker and his brood, who robbed him while he was under the influence of delirium tremens^ IXxa't he unhappy. Lady Darnel, the fit was over before we put him 2 board Orisaba, f^d 97 frifnd. tjM

doctor will look after him throughout the voyage. The Orizaba is a sailing vessl. The passage •will last long enough for a perfect cure, if my friend Feron is as firm as I believe he will be. I put the case in bis hands aa an interesting experiment. •Here is a young man organically sound,* good loooking, well ma^, well born, well bred, given over to tho demon drink. I give him into your custody, out of reach of temptation, for the steward and captain will work with you for his welfare. You can Have him all to yourself for the next two months. If there is any virtue in your science you ought to be able to cure him.' And Feron declared that he would cure him."

Clare gave the colonel her hand. "You have brought me comfort and hope," she said fervently. "You are a noble-hearted man, Colonel Stukely, worthy to be my husband's friend. "You cau give me no higher praise than that."

Grace had opened the packet and looked over her letters. Yes, they were all there, the poor little school-girl notes, 'written in the most Britannic French, with much recourse to grammar and dictionary tha letters written later from Darnel, a freer style, aud a little more Gaelic, but ubounding in wrong genders and impossible tenses. She glanced through the collection, blushing as she looked, and then knelt down o\i the hearthrug and threw them behind the burning logs. What 11 merry blaze they made. While tho flames went roaring up the wide old chimney, she turned to her godfather, half in tears and half in mirth fulness. "You have done something more for me than teach me my catechism and the ten commandments in the vulgar tongue," she said. You have rescued me from a great difficulty." "Perhaps if I had been in the way to teach you the ten commandments, laying particular stress upon the fifth, you might never have got into that difficulty, mipoor Gracie." "No if I had honored my father as I ought to have done, I should never have engaged myself to a French art student without liis knowledge," said Gracie, and then, with a touch of pretty rebelliousness, she added "But then he ought never to have sent me to school. That was the beginning of the evil." "That was Aunt Dora's doing," said Sir Allan. "The school was her advice." ••I hate people who are always giving advice," exclaimed Grace. "A thing that costs nothing, and which nobody waulj

How hftppy they were, sitting round the cozy hearth in the spacious old room which Wren had plauned for just such family uses. Four people sitting round the fire In the average modern bed-chamber would be a crowd but here thero was room enough for twenty. They sat round the fire talking for the next hour, and almost forgot that Sir Allan was still an invalid, till the family doctor came in and reproved them severidy all round, including the patient. "I said you were :o sit up for an hour or

30,

and you have been up at least four hours," he expostulated. "The other three hours went under the head of 'or so'" replied Sir Allan. "It was a vague expression on your part which I took to have a liberal meaning. Don't be frightened, Danvers, I never felt better in my life, and I am going to eat one of these partridges which you have been pressing upon me as peralstantly as Louis XIV upon his confession. I am going to eat a partridge and drink a tumbler of Heidseck 'to my supper,' as old-fashioned people say." "Upon my soul, I believe you have been taking Hcidseck already," said the doctor, "for you are as merry as a grig—and you havfc been all in the dolefula. till to-day." "The tide has turned, doctor," saiu Sir Allen. "You shall see how fast a man of 45 can get well when I10 is surrounded by those he loves."

Before the end of November Sir Allen wtrs well enough to start for the south. The day before he left Darnel park he had a decisive interview with his half-sister, during which he made It clear to Dora Darnel that her place was no longer under the same roof tlat sheltered her brother's wife. "I do not understand in what manner I have offended Lady Darnel," said Dora, with an air of ill-used innocence. "I have absolutely slaved in my desire that every thing in this house should be as near per faction as possible- If Lady Darnel had any experleuce of a large establishment she would be better able to appreciate the trouble I have taken in her behalf." "Lady Darnel is not unappreciatlvs, Dora. She has a great admiration for your talents as a housekeeper, so groat, in fact, that her ambition has been aroused by your example, and she would like, when we come back, to try her hand at housekeeping on her own account., so I shall be glad if you will plan your future life while we are away. I am sure we shall all be excellent friends at a distance."

Dora paled to the lips, and the hand that played with her watch-chain was faintly tremulous but sho maintained her dignity as she replied: "I am deeply grateful to you for my release, Allan. Residence under Lady Darnel's roof has long been painful to me. My own wants are of the simplest. My poor little income will enable me to live in London, and in an intellectual atmosphere, where I hope I shall not be misunderstood as I have been here." "you must allow me to double your income, as I have always intended if ever we came to live apart," said Allan, kindly.

Dora protested against the idea, bift there was that in her protestation which assured Sir Allan that she would not be inflexible.

Clare and Grace both left Darnel with lighter hearts because of the knowledge that they would not find Miss Darnel installed there on their return. That pernicious influence would not be taken out of their lives forever. *1 can never forget that it was Aunt Dora who sent me to school," said Grace, in her confidential talk with her stepmother, while Sir Allan slept peacefully on the other side of the railway carriage which was taking them to Genoa. "She is the only person that ever parted me from my father." "But I believe there is one other person who the same malicious intention, Grace," answered Lady Darnel, smiling at her. Mr. Colchester comes to spend Christmas at Venice with us, as he threatens, I fancy it will be with the hope of persuading you to exchange Darnel park for the manor before long." "Be is a most persistent young man, said Grace, blushing. *1 hope it won't bore you to have him in Venice.* -I shall be delighted to have him. He has always been my friend. He has never looked coldly down upon me as other people have done at DarneL" "I believe that coldness was mostly Aunt Don's fault,"

Grace, and she was right, for on Uay Darnel's return to her husband's house in the spring, and upon the announcement of Grace's engagement to Edward Cuiihssjcr,

people who had held themselves somewhat aloof before, hastened to Darnel to offer their congratulations upon that pleasant event, ond somehow before the year was out the neighborhood began to understand that Lady Darnel was a really charming person, and that Sir Allan was altogethei fortunate in his second marriage.

Sir Allan's second wife received such tardy attentions somewhat coldly, and did not by any means fling herself into the newly opened arms of the neighborhood, but Grace's marriage, which took place early in August, brought about festivities and visitings that necessarily drew Lady Darnel into county society. She stinted no splendors or hospitalities that beseemed the marriage of her husband's daughter and heiress with a man of wealth in the neighborhood, and she bore herself at all these festivities with a quiet dignity which impressed even the doubters. "Whatever she may have been in the past, she must always have been a lady," said that pleasant old Lady Scattercash, who had lived every hour of her life in London and Paris, before she took to wearing poke bonnets and holding mothers' meetings in Wiltshire "and that is the main point after all. We don't want to pry into people's past lives, but we can not receive ci-devant bar-maids or ballet girls."

Lady Darnel is so completely happy in her husband's love, and in the perfect confidence now established between them, that she cau afford to be very indifferent to the opinions of the county. She has received cheering news from New Zealand, where Stuart Mackenzie has been behaving well and winning friends.

The child received little or no good from the treatment, as the breaking out, supposed by the physician to be hives In an aggravative form, became-:^ largei in blotches, and more and more distressinx. We were frequently obliged to get*." up in the night and rub him with soda in/ water, strong linaments, etc. Finally, we called other idiysicians, until no less than 5 six had attempted to cnie him, ail alike failIng, and the childsteadily Retting worse, un-1 til about the 20th of last July, when we beRan to give him Cuticura Resolvent, internal- vAfis® ly and the Cuticura and Cuticura Soap externally, by the last of August, he so nearlv:, well that we give him only one dose of the $ Resolvent about every second dav for about- 1 ten days louger, and he has hever been'¥r: 1 1 troubles since with the horrible malady. In all we used less than one half of a bottle ofT^ Cuticura Resoiveat, a little loss than one box V" of Cuticura, and only ono cake of Cuticura Soap. ii. E. RYAN, Cayuga. Livingston Co., Ills, v*

PIMa A Word About Catarrli.

"It is the mucous membraue, that wonderful seml-tiuld envelope surrounding the delicate tissues of tho air and food passages, that Catarrh makes Its stronghold. Once cstabtabliidicd, it eats into the very vlUils, and renders life but. a long-drawn breath of misery and disease, dulling the sense of hearing, rammelling, tne power of speech, destroying the faculty of.smell, tainting the breath, and killing the refined pleasures of taste. Incldlously, by creeping: on from a simple cold in the head, it assaults the membranous lining

delicate coats and causing inflammation, sloughing and death. Nothing short of total eradication will secure health to the patient, and all allevlattves are simple procrastinated -utlerlnus, lending to a fatal termination. Sanford's Radical Cure, by Inhalationnnd by Internal, administration, has never failed even when the disease has made frightful Inroads on delicate constitutions, hearing, smell and tasto have been recovered, aud the disease thoroughly driven out."

Each package contains ono bottlo of the Radical Cure, ono box Catarrhal Kolvent, and an Improved inhaler, with treatise price, 31.
