It has already become the National Disease. Are we to become a nation of Catarrhites ? It looks like it. The Aboriginal Indians are said not to have known the disease. That proves it is not caused hy our climate and must have been imported. Its growth was slow but persistent. Forty years oro there were less thau 40.000 cases in the V. S., to-day there are 20 million. Boon there will be 30 million. Where is it to end? Shall we not awake till it lias fastened its fauna on every man, woman and child in the laud? How shall we prevent it unless we take Immed iate and vigorous steps to stamp out theplajrue? This putrid disease knows uo sex, no class, no station. It is everywhere. A perm ftmcrnhpt disease It spreads by contoglon. The canon oreaiu ana expectoration 01 tne poor victim are loaded with these microbes. Others breath then in, they find lodgement and never release their hold till the victim lies down iu death, unless every microbe is killed. Hut can they be killed? Yes, but not by any "blood medicine." No Ca tarrh germ was cer found iu the blood. The trouble is local and must be treated locally. A balsam has been discovered that is sure death to the Catarrh microbe, making a radical and permanent cure. It Is llrailllen lialm. It has cured tens of thousands in the past 15 years. It also cures nil the troubles caused by Catarrh, as ore 1 nroat. om couglis, lironcliltls, Asthma and I.uug troubles. The swallowing of the Catarrh pus makes the Stomach raw and ulcer ated. The Brazilian Holm soou makes a radical cure of the Stomach and alimeutaiy canal. It is the cheapest remedy on the market, a $1.00 bottle containing a whole month's treatment.

The olllcers from governor down were chosen by the Democrats at the pri maries two months ago, and as there is no opposition of consequence todny's election Is but a necessary compliance with tho law. The Democratic ticket, headed by Hon. Allen D. Chnndler, Is opposed only by the Populists, whose loading mnn is James It. Hogan, nomi nated In place of Thomas 13. Watson, who declined to run. The Australian ballot Ih being used for tho first time In the state. A more pitiful sight than a mother and her child, both captives and shackled in a dungeon, could not well be imagined. There arc thousands of mothers and their babes who lie shackled by disease in the dungeon of death. Without knowing it, or having the faint est comprehension of it, the fault lies with the mother. Too many women enter upon the responsibilities of wifehood and moth erhood while suffering from weakness and disease of the delicate and important or gans that make wifehood and motherhood possible. A woman who suffers in this way cannot be a capable wife and a competent mother. Before entering upon the duties and responsibllitles'of these positions, she Bhould see to it that her health, both gen eral and local, is thotoughly restored. Dr. Pierce's I'nvorite Prescription is the best of nil medicines for tills purpose. It acts directly on the sensitive organs concerned, making them strong, healthy and vigorous. It promotes regularity of the functions, allays irritation and inflammation, heals ulceration, checks unnatural and exhaust ing drains and soothes pain. It tones and builds up the shattered nerves. It turns the dangers and paius of maternity into safety aud ease. It is a medicine that is intended for this one purpose only and Is good for no other. Dealers sell it and no honest dealer will suggest a substitute. "Dr Pierce's favorite Prescription did me so much good that to-day I am well again and stronger than I have heeu for years," writes Mrs. Alex, locklc, of Wise, Isabella Co , Mich.
