There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion the country than all other di-
seases put together, and until tbe
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. 1 or a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local di
sease, and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pro
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitution
al disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's

the only constitutional cure on the

long afterward, under the influence
of the storms that swept the exposed
hillside, the terracotta monument be
gan to crumble, and it is now in ruins.
When Mr. Taylor began tns worn
of buifding monuments he first pro
vided suitable memorials forihis wife
and child. Three statues, made in
Italy, of the best white marble of that
country, were erected on tne laytoi
plot, one being a life size ligure 01
his wife, another representing Jesus
Christ, and the third being a group
consisting of the Virgin Mary and two
herubim. These statues were incased
in glass and placed on massive pedes
tals of glazed bricTi.
Last year Mr. Taylor endeavored to
enlist the cooperation of the state
legislature in'crecting a monument to
Lafayette on the bait Jetieltl. Jie 01-
fercd to bear most of the expense,
merely asking the state to give a share
bo that the project might not appear
to be entirely an individual enterprise.
The appropriation, however, was not
granted. I'lidisniayed, Mr. Taylor pro-
" . . ... .... i

supervision the monument has now
been completed. It consists 01 a coi-

height of 25 feet. The granite was
quarried at St. Peter's, in the north
western part of l nester couniy. me
monument is so arranged that if desira
ble a statue of Lafayette may be placed
on the top. On the sides are inscribed
two extracts from an address delivered
l.v Lnfavette at West Chester on the
occasion of his visit in Isl'j. One is the
following toast:
"May,the blood spilled by thousands
with equal merit in the cause of inde
pendence and freedom he to ensuing
generations an eternal pledge of un
alloyed republicanism, federal unity,
public prosperity and domestic happi
ness." The other quotation Is as follows:
"The honor to have mingled my
blood with that of many other Ameri
can soldiers on the heights of Brandy-
wine has been to me a source of pride
and delight."
Mr. Taylor's monuments, remnrkable
in themselves, are the more conspicu
ous because they stand in n Quaker
cemetery. Ot igfcnlly the Friends' doc
trine of extreme simplicity permitted
the erection cf no maraers wnaiever
at the graves of their dead. In modern
times, however, they have tolerated
the low headstones now common in
their graveyards. At Birmingham, in
addition to this, a tract is set apart
for those who do not choose to ad
here rigidly to Qunker methods of
burial, and it is in this section that
Mr. Taylor's monuments are placed.

The kennel being closed on all

Still, the fact remained that thry re
