There Is more Catarrh In this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and for years it was sup­
posed to be incurable. Doctors prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Catarrh is a local disease,
greatly influenced by constitutional con­
ditions and therefore requires constitu­
tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Medi­

to grumble than many a British celi­
bate who shied at the altar a couple
of centuries or more ago.
During the 13 years from 1695 to
1708 the man over twenty-five who
shirked Ills mntrimonlal duty was
called on to pay £12 10s ($02.50) for
a duke, a tax which yielded to the
revenue about £1,000 ($5,000) a week.

More than this, tn those good old
times the Briton had to pay a tnx
when he took himself a wife, and nn*
other every time he qualified as fa*
tber. Thus, a duke’s nuptials cost
him £50 4s ($252) ; Ids heir, ¿30 2s
($152), and for each later male addi­
tion to the family his Joy was discount­
ed by a payment of £25 2s ($127).
The benedict whose Income wns less

The greater part of the black stick
licorice consumed Is derived from
Spain, where It Is made from the Juice

prevent It from melting In hot weather.
The licorice plant is a shrub that at­
tains a height of three feet and It
grows wild where Its roots rench the
water, It flourishes especially on the
banks of the Tigris and Euphrates
