CATARRH. 



CATARRHAL DEAFNESS-HAY FEVER. 

 A New Home Treatment. 



Sufferers arc not generally aware that 

 these diseases are contagious, or that they 

 are due to tlio presence of living parasites 

 in the lining iiiembrane of the nose and 

 eustachian tuljes. Microscopic research, 

 however, has jn'oved this to be a fact, and 

 the result of tliis discovery is that a simple 

 remedy has lieen formulated whereby 

 catarrh, catarrhal deafness and hay fever 

 are permanently cured in from one to three 

 simple applications made at home by the 

 patient once in two weeks. 



N. B. — This treatment is not a snuff or an 

 ointment; both have been discarded by 

 reputable physicians as injurious. A 

 pamphlet explaining this new treatment is 

 sent free on receipt of stamp to pay pos- 

 tage, by A. H. Dixon & Son, 337 and 339 

 West King Street, Toronto, Canada. — 

 Christian Advocate. 



Sufferers from Catarrhal troubles should 

 carefully read the above.

HONEY AND BEESWAX MARKET. 



WONDERFUL 



Nearly every one is familiar with the name, but 

 it has been estimated that only one in every 280 



Sersons in the United States is fortunate enough to 

 ave access to tlie valuable information ctmtained 

 within the covers of the gramiest work ever written 

 by mortal man -WEBSTER'S UNABRIDGED 



DICTIONARY. That this is an unfortunate stale of 

 affairs will be admitted by all, and it is due to the 

 fact that no one save the rich could afford them. 



The Dictionary is a necessity in every home, school 

 and business-hnuse. It fills a vacancy and furnishes 

 knowledtie which no HHJ volumes of the choicest 

 books could supply, and all. young or old. educated 

 or ignorant, rich i >r poor, should have it within reach, 

 and refer to its contents every day in the year. 



The "Lo(miis Re-print" contains all the matter as 

 compiled and arranged by our esteemed and honored 

 author and statesman— Noah "Webster. About 40 

 years of hia life was devoted to this great work; and 

 when we consider the fact that this book contains 

 about 100.000 words with their correct spelling, 

 derivation and definition, we will appreciate that 

 these years must have been well spent. 



Some Idea of the magnitude of this book may be 

 gained from the fact that it contains over 440 cubic 

 inches of paper, and has about 3tK),000 square inches 

 of printed surface. This is a cheap, re-print edition 

 without illusirattons. 



In addition to the 100.000 words, it contains a 

 portrait of the author, together with his biography, 

 and a valuable table of 12,01-h:i synonymous words.
