Paderewski’s fame as a {pianist

There will be piesented m New

is called “Manru,” and deals with
a gypsy romance m the mountains
between Galicia and Hungary.
Great things are predicted for the
production, and exceptional
preparations are being made for
the initial performance. It is
hardly to be expected, however,
that the talented Pole will take as
high rank as a composer’as he occu

The readers of this paper will r be
pleased to learn that there is^at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure
is the only postivecnre known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is taken internally acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative pow
ers, that they offer Gne Hundred Dol
lars lor any ease that it fails to cure.

The liniment bottle and flannel strip are P
familiar objects in nearly every household.
They are the weapons that have been used for
generations to fight*old Rheumatism, and are
about as effective in tlie battle with this giant' i Jjy
disease as the blunderbuss of our forefathers / *
would be in modem warfare.
Rheumatism is caused, by an acid, sour ^
condition of the blood. It is filled with acrid, irritating matter that settles
in the joints, muscles jnd nerves, arid liniments and oils nor nothing
else applied externally can dislodge these gritty, corroding particles. They
were deposited there by the blood and can be reached only through the blood.
Rubbing with liniments sometimes relieve temporarily the aches and
pains, but these are only symptoms which are liable to return with every
change of the weather; the real disease lies deeper, the blood and system
are infected. Rheumatism cannot be radically and permanently cured
Until the blood has been purified, and no remedy does this so thoroughly
and promptly as S. S. S. It neutralizes the acids and sends a stream
—, — of rich, strong blood to the affected parts, which
