THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



CHICAGO TO DENVER. 



Via Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska. 



In 1867 the first railroad from Chicago 

 to Omaha was completed, and it was con- 

 sidered fast time when the distance of 490 

 miles was covered in twenty-four hours. 

 Now the same distance is run by the trains 

 of the Chicago and Omaha line of the 

 Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway, 

 in less than sixteen hours, and the whole 

 distance of 1,069 miles from Chicago to 

 Denver is run between 10 o clock p. m. of 

 one night and 7 :45 a. m. the second morn- 

 ing. 



The finest Sleeping Cars are run daily 

 from Chicago through to Denver without 

 change, making connections at Denver 

 Union Depot with trains of all roads de- 

 parting for principal points in Colorado, 

 Utah, New Mexico, Nevada and California. 

 The Scenic Route of America is through 

 "the heart of the Rockies" in Colorado, 

 and the best route to Colorado is via the 

 Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway, 

 byway of Omaha and Lincoln. Nebraska,

Catarrh Can Be Cured 



People are beginning to learn that 

 CATARRH is a local disease, caused 

 by rapeated colds in the head, causing 

 enlargement of the soft bones of the 

 nose, thickening and ulceratioii of the 

 lining membrane, with its constant 

 discharge of unhealthy mucus and 

 pus; that every breath is tainted be- 

 fore the air reaches the lungs; that it 

 is the cause of the constant hawking, 

 expectorating, nose-bleeding, head- 

 aches, partial loss of hearing, noises 

 in the head, deafness, impaired vision. 

 lassitude, debility, loss of rest and 

 impaired appetite and bad breath ; 

 that it is the principal cause of bron- 

 chitis, pneumonia and consumption of 

 the" lungs; THAT IT CAN ONLY BE 

 CURED BY LOCAL TREAMENT ; 

 that the AMERICAN CAT A HUH 

 CURE is the only remedy known that 

 can cure the disease ; that it is not a 

 patent medicine, but the private pre- 

 scription of a physician, who devoted 

 26 years to the study and treatment of 

 the disease, ~nd who thought the time 

 had come when the public should have 

 the benefit of his experience.
