Catalogues for 1902. 
Samuel C. Moon, Morrisville, Pa.—Cata¬ 
logue of ornamental trees and shrubs; 26 
pages, finely illustrated. This very taste¬ 
ful catalogue is entirely devoted to a dis¬ 
criminating assortment of ornamentals, 
which are described and illustrated in an 
interesting manner. 
John A. Salzer Seed Co., La Crosse, 
Wis.—Catalogue of seeds, plants and tools; 
136 pages. Colored cover and plates. An 
immense catalogue covering a large field 
in farm and garden requisites. It is writ¬ 
ten in forcible style, and many extreme 
statements are made concerning the merits 
of specialties offered. 
Arthur J. Collins, Mooreslown, N. J.— 
Catalogue of Pleasant Valley Nurseries; 
26 pages, well illustrated. Devoted to fruit 
and ornamental trees and plants. The 
great specialty is in nut trees, of which 
a fine selection of varieties is offered. 
Much interesting information about grow¬ 
ing chestnuts for profit is given. 
Stark Bros, Louisiana, Mo.—Stark's 
Fruit Book, 80 pages; many illustrations 
and brilliant colored plates of apples and 
peaches. This catalogue of the extensive 
Stark Nurseries lists a large collection of 
commercial fruits and ornamentals. Many 
specialties are presented with great em¬ 
phasis, among which the Black Ben Davis 
apple is made prominent. It resembles 
the Gano, but the Stark people insist it is 
distinct and much superior for commercial 
planting. Other highly recommended va¬ 
rieties are Champion, Chicago and Ingram. 
Harlan P. Kelsey, Tremont Building, 
Boston, Mass.—Catalogue of Highlands 
Nursery; 50 pages, beautifully illustrated 
with reproduction of rare native plants. A 
valuable hand book of native ornamental 
shrubs, trees and plants as well as a cata¬ 
logue. Everyone interested in plants of 
native growth should have it. The Caro¬ 
lina hemlock, Azalea Vaseyi and Xanthor- 
rhiza apiifolia or yellowroot are especially 
desirable. 
A Grafting Wax.— This wax is one of 
my father, the late E. G. Studley, of Co¬ 
lumbia Co., N. Y., used for years, and I 
have used it also for the last 20 years. 
Some seasons I have used as much as 100 
pounds with good success. The frost does 
not crack it, nor does the sun melt it. I 
use dry beef tallow to grease my hands to 
prevent the wax from sticking. One part 
beeswax, two parts beef tallow, four parts 
rosin. When all melted and thoroughly 
stirred pour into a tub of cold water to 
cool so as to work it, and get all the water 
out; the more it is worked the better 
f. p. s. 
Consumption, Bronchitis and 
Bronchial Asthma. 
Diseases Which Cause Almost as 
Many Death as Consumption. 
From Dr. Robert Hunter’s Lectures on 
Lung Diseases. 
A cold settling on the chest or grippe 
that goes down to the lungs produces 
bronchitis, and when it has continued for 
several months it becomes chronic bron¬ 
chitis. 
There is at first only trilling cough in 
the morning with slight chilly feelings, fol¬ 
lowed by a sense of feverishness towards 
evening. Walking rapidly or going up¬ 
stairs cause shortness of breath with a 
general sense of tightness and oppression 
in the chest. 
As the disease advances the patient be¬ 
gins to raise yellow or greenish-yellow 
matter; has hectic fever and night sweats 
and loses in flesh and strength. From 
this point, unless arrested by treatment, 
it goes on rapidly, soon exhausts the vi¬ 
tality and causes death with symptoms 
closely resembling consumption and yet 
not consumption at all. 
By careful observation extending through 
many years, I am confident that fully 
TWO-FIFTHS of all the deaths charged 
to consumption are really deaths by con¬ 
sumptive bronchitis. On examining the 
sputum and the tissue of the lungs in these 
cases we find neither tubercle nor the 
bacilli germs that are always present in 
TRUE consumption. 
This is a most important fact, for bron¬ 
chitis is much easier to cure than con¬ 
sumption, every case being curable If prop¬ 
erly treated. It is only a seated, chronic 
inflammation of the mucous lining of the 
air tubes, and at the worst is as certainly 
curable in the lungs as such inflammation 
in any other part of the body. 
Consumptive bronchitis is not curable by 
medicine given in the stomach, nor by 
those hypodermically injected, for they 
never reach its seat. It is only by the 
direct application of medicines to the lining 
of the bronchial tubes in the lungs that 
cure is ever effected. The disease is not 
in the stomach, nor in the blood, but in 
the lining of the lungs, and THERE THE 
REMEDIES MUST BE APPLIED. 
Nothing but a direct application of heal¬ 
ing medicines, antiseptics and germicides 
to the very seat of the disease will affect 
the cure of this or any other lung case, 
and they can be applied only by inhaling 
them in a gaseous state. The lungs con¬ 
stitute an air cavity, and can be reached 
medicinally only by medicated air. This 
treatment was discovered, perfected and 
first successfully applied by me. It is the 
only natural, scientific and common-sense 
treatment ever applied for the cure of 
bronchial and consumptive diseases. If it 
fails, nothing else could possibly succeed. 
But it never does fail, unless mortal in¬ 
jury to the lung structures has taken 
place before it is applied.

Yorker can obtain Dr. Hunter’s book.

Gold-Shell Rings. 
Most people like a 
nice ring. We show 
three styles. These are 
made by drawing a 
shell of gold over a rod 
of composition metal. 
They are better and 
will wear longer than 
solid gold rings of a 
low carat. The retai] 
price would be from 75 
cents to 81. We will 
send one of these rings 
postpaid as a reward 
for sending one new subscription at 81.
