Taggart Guarantees a Cure by hyomei or Will Refund the Honey. Until very recent years, it wan thought that catarrh was a disease of the blood, ' but now modern science has proved that catarrh is a germ disease, and can be cured only by a treatment that will kill the ! germ and heal the mucous membrane of ! the uc.be and throat. Therefore, when you have catarrh, you can readily sec that il you want to cure 1 it. you hould use llyoniei, which medi cates the itir you breathe, thus killing the ' catarrhal germs and healing the smarting j raw membrane* of the passages tbrougl the nose and throat. In breath ii: ■ Hyomei you are really treating your ' cartarrhal troubles with the only natural method, for it will make the air you I br the as pure. healing and antiseptic as that found on the mountains where the pir.e forests give oft' their fragrant and healing balsams. If there is any doubt in your mind as to the power of Hyomi to cure catarrh, the usual way in which it is sold by L. Taggart should destroy all doubt, as he o ffers to refund the money should Hyo ci fail to benefit. m The complete Ilyomei outfit consisting au inhaler, a bottle of Hyomei, aud a medicine dropper, costs only SI, while extra bottles can be obtained for fifty cents. L. Taggart has sold a great many Hyomei outfits, and the more he sells, the more convinced he is that he is per fectly safe is guaranteeing to refund the money if Ilyomei does not cure.

A few weeks ago the Observer was reading "Henry Esmond" (for the firwt :iiin>, he will confide to tho reader , and was glad to get tiiH first hand views of Dick Steele and Marlborough which Liiat charming novel by Thackeray Affords. Through ids interest in Marl borough, the Observer was beguiled into reading a chapter or two in Knights' "Populai History of Kng laud" A reference in this to Marl borough's correspondence wit h Charles \il of Sweden led the Observer to drag out from a dusty closet an old volume, tirown with age, entitled His toire do Charles XII, Roi do Swede" The fly leaves and title page are miss ing, but there can be 110 doubt that it is a copy of Voltaire's well known work. It once belonged to a young man who, is a student sit the University of Edinburg. saw the decimated ranks ot the Scots Greys enter the city on their return from Waterloo in !Sl."> is this student was not in the habit of tearing leaves out of his book, (unless, per chance. being a Stueder, ho wished to avoid the scandal of having in Ids possession a hook bearing the nanio of Voltaire); it is almost certaint that he bought it secondhand Just because the title page was missing, tlie Obser ver became all the more curious to know, if possible, what year the book waa printed. Men, in their way, can be as idly curious as children -or women However, it is less reprehen sible to try to discover the age of a book than it is to pry into the mystery of Mrs. Dorcas Youngheart's age Another indication of the age of the book is the use of the old-fashioned long s's which look so much like f's. When did the long s's go out of use ? An answer to this question would be of some help in determining the date of this old book. A search through the Britannica and Globe Encyclopedias and the Standard Dictionary tailed to And the slightest mention of the old long s. The only remaining method of finding an answer to the question was to examine the typography of such old boobs as were at hand Here, for instance is a vol ume of Puritan sermons published in London in 1858; also a Latin handbook of Caliviniatic theology, published in Amsterdam in 1721; a volume of Jona than Edwards, discourses published in London in 1795; a copy of Principal Campbell's book in refutation of Hume's celebrated argument against miracles, reprinted in Philadelphia in 1790; a set of Witherspoon's Works, published by Woodward in Philadel phia, in 1802 anda little volume of selec tion from Ovid, publshed in 1809. In all these books the long s's are used On the other hand, a set of Qninctilian (1810), a set of Christopher Swart's Horace (1812) and a Greek Testament 1820 ,are all printed without the long s. This trivial investigation goes to show that the long s went out of use with the year 1809; and consequently the copy of "Voltaire's Historic de Charles Xll",was printed at some time previous to that date. In appearance it is older than the copy of Edward's Discourses (1795). The presence of catch words at the bottom of the page, (a usuge no longer observed when the copy of "Edward's" was printed) con firms the story told by the darkened paper and faded ink. It is not prob able that the book was printed later than 1790, and its date* may easily have been a decade earlier. The first edition of"Charles XII" appeared sur reptitiously in Rouen in 1731. Voltaire died in 1778. Really, it makes not two cents differ ence whether this mutilated old book was published in 1731 or 1831; but the quest for its date has thrown a little light on the final dates of long s's and the catch words at the foot of the page. Yes, the "Histoire" contains an in teresting account of a highly charaet eristic interview between the two greatest generals of their a«e. Speaking of"Henry Esmond," it is a novel that is in every way worthy of the great heart and splendid intellect of Thackeray. DEATH'S DOINGS. TANXER. Mr G. W. Tanner, about 78 years of age, dieu at the home of his son Bert on Mason Ilill, March sth. Mr. Tanner was born in Bradford county and came to Cameron county and has resided on Mason Ilill for many years. He has been a sufferer for several years but was not taken bedfast until about three weeks .ago and many times longed for death to end his sufferings. His family realizing he could never recover and that the end was near, summoned his relatives and every euro that loving hands could give was rendered to him, making his last days as pleasant as possible. The funeral was held at the house, Rev. Ebersoln preaching a very able sermon, his text being "Prepare to meet thy Clod.'' After the sermon and the last view of the remains was taken by his many relatives and friends his body was taken to Pine street Ceme tery, where he was laid to rest beside his wife and two children, who had gone 011 before. him. He leaves five daughters and one son: Jane (Mrs By ran Duell,)" of Mason Hill; Amiinda (Mrs. Wilhent,) of Lock Haven; Milly Mrs. Haverly, of Renovo; Neornia (Mrs. Uarr) and Mrs. Nelson, of Huntley; Bert, resides on Mason Hill. All were present at the funeral, also two brothers, Mr. Samuel Tanner, of Renovo; and Mr. Ben Tanner, of Selius grove, and a number of his grand-children.
