 fossils from every geological period, and minerals illus- 

 trating the common and many of the rare forms. This 

 collection is in duplicate, and the duplicates are for ex-

CATABBH. 



Catarrbal Beafness— Hay Fever. 



Sufferers are not generally aware that these 

 diseases are contagious, or that they are due to 

 the presence of living parasites in the lining 

 membrane of the no^e and eustachian lubes. 

 Microscopic research, however, has proved this 

 to be a fact, and the result of this discovery is 

 that a simple remedy has been formulated where- 

 by catarrh, catarrhal deafness and hay fever are 

 ptirmanently 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 snufi or an 

 ointment ; both have been discarded by repu- 

 table physicians as injurious, A pamphlet ex- 

 plaining this new treatment is sent free on 

 receipt of stamp to pay postage, by A. H. Dix- 

 on & Son, 337 and 339 West King Street, 

 Toronto, Canada, — Christian Advocate. 



Sufferers from Catarrhal troubles should care- 

 fully read the above.

Associate of the Linncean Society, author of 

 " Sistoria Fiticum, " " History of 

 Bible Plants," etc., etc. 

 For more than forty years Mr. Smith was 

 connected vrith the Royal Gardens, Ken., 

 which gave him remarkable opportunities for 

 becoming acquainted with the largest collec-

 brought together; and from 1846, he was 

 associated with the late Sir. W. Hooper in 

 building up the Kensington Museum of Eco- 

 nomic Botany. Based on all this experience, 

 Mr. Smith has produced this Dictionary which 

 gives under their popular names information 

 about plants that furnish the wants of man, 

 their history, products and uses. Having 

 received a large invoice of this book from 

 the London publisher, we offer to mail copies 

 postpaid at a discount. 



List price, $3.50 : our price, $2.80.
