TIT TOR TAT.
Good morntn', Miss Kate," said young Miclue
Free;
"Good mornin' again; it's yourself sure I see.
Looking bloomin' as iver." But Kate turned away
As she said, "Mister Mickie, I wish you good day.
You're a heartless desaver; now don't say a word!
Pretty tales about you and that Norah I've heard!
You know you danced with her the day of the fair
And praised her gray eyes and her very red hair.
You called her an angel; quite in love with her fell:
And at night when you parted, you kissed her as
well!"
Then young Mickie gave a sly wink as he said,
I desaved her, my darlin'; this may turn your head;
Yes, faith, I desaved her; my darlin', it's true,
Fot I shut both my eyes, Kate, and fancied 'twas
you!
Yes, that's what I did;
Katie, it's true;
I shut both my eyes,
And fancied 'twas you!"
"Well, I've no time to stay, so good-bye, Mickie
Free,
You may desave her: but you don't desave me ;
I'm not to be blarneyed, Mick, a word in your ear;
You had better be off, for my dad's comin' here."
"O, your dad's comin", is he? That's not him I see
Now bobbin' behind that owld blackthorn tree,
For it's Paddy Mahon." "O," said Kate with a
sneer,
"You've got your eyes open at last, Mickie, dear,
And shure you are right; 'tis my own darlin' Pat,
80 take my advice, Mick, and get out of that ;
For he's comin' to coort me. Now listen, my lad;
When that boy kisses me, oh, won't you be glad!
For when his lips meet mine, why, what will I do
But shut both my eyes, Mick, and fancy it's you!
That's what I'll do;
Mickie, it's true ;
Shut both my eyes,
And fancy it's you!"
AN ANCIENT E HSU SCAN CITY.
Older than Borne, more famous for its
science and learning than Athens, the
birth place of men renowned in science
and art, the home of women of genius
and learning, the ancient etruscan city
of Felsina, the Bononia of the Bomans,
the modern Bologna, impresses the
stranger with a weird and ghastly feeling
of awe, as though passages and ex
periences of another existence were re
called to the memory. We sat down in
the night at the railway station outside
the walls, and passing through the mas
sive gateways, wander along under the
interminable corrodors through long and
narrow streets, dimly lighted by the
flickering taper in many a shrine of the
holy virgin; and imagine ourselves in a
medisBvil city, peopled only with the dim
phantoms of the past. Daylight scarcely
serves to dispel the illusions of the
night in this quaint old city.
Domiciled in a hotel entered from
the street through an arched passage into
a spacious court, with fountain and stat
uary, filled with rare plants and flowers,
we walk about for miles and miles under
stone arcades built out over the side
walks, the fronts of the tall and Btately
palaces and other buildings of Roman
and Lombardie architecture overhanging
the narrow streets. We pass the cele
brated leaning tower which has pre
served its frail center of gravity for so
many centuries, and sepnlchers and mon
uments of heroes whose names are only
known to us, and enter the churches of
San Dominico and ban Petronio and
many others, filled with columns, stat
utes and ornaments, the spoil of early
struggles with the Saracen and the Turk,
with many pictures of the ideal saints
and heroes, faithful teachers and holy
martyrs for conscience sake.
Passing the Pinacoteca, we find a suc
cession of well-lighted galleries, better
adopted to the purpose of exhibiting
large pictures than any others in Italy,
except the magnificent galleries of Ven
ice, and although the collection is not
large it comprises some of the finest ex
amples of the works of Cimu di Come
gliano; Vannucci called it Perugino: Ro
busti called it Tintoretti; Bobolini called
it Francisca Prancia, the friend of
Bapheal, and who painted his likeness in
Borne; Barbiera called it Guerino, Zam
pier called it Dominichino and Elizabetta
Sirami, the pupil and competitor of
Guide Beni. Raphael's famous picture
of St. Cecilia represents the Spanish
patron of music as a rather stout, and
even buxom middle-aged woman dressed
in a heavy brocade garment reaching up
close to the neck and covering the arms,
with no attempt at artistic nudity, in
company with four others saints, listen
ing with ecstacy to a concert around the
great white throne. The rapt, intense
spiritual expression, is very effective and
worthy of the great master. There are
no conventional tricks of pious custume
and pallid devotion, but the artist has
taken an ordinary, healthy whole-some
looking lemale and by his genius
transformed her into a beautiful
and spiritual devotee; even the
drapery is full of extatic emotion. The
representation of various musical instru
merits at her feet are beneath the dignity
of Baphael, and were painted in by Jean
j: ttj: -1 - rT-,, 1
ui imuie, uuu 01 uispupus. xms picture
alone draws many tourists to iiolotrna
although not recognized as equal to many
otuea 01 the great artist s masterpieces
for all of his works are masterpieces
There is but one Baphael. and no other
artist approaches him as to be worthy to
kiss the hem 01 his garment. Here, also
we see six great pictures of Guido Reni
the most striking and beautiful being the
massacre of the innocents, and Ham son
victorious over the Philistines. Here
also, we see Guido's head of Christ
crowned with thorns, designed in paste
upon paper, which has been engraved so
often and is seen everywhere, and which
has become the traditional and conven
tional representation of our Savoir. These
pictures establish the reputation of Guido
Reni and entitle him to be ranked among
the great artists of his age. Besides the
allegorical fresco of daybreak, the
"Aurora" of the Baspigliosi palace in
Borne, there are no other pictures that so
fully exemplify his great genius and jus
tify his being placed in the company of
the great masters in painting. His distin
guished pupil, Elizabeth Sirani, daugh
ter of Andrea of that name, but for her
early death, hastened by partiality and
injustice, would have outstriped the mas
ter as many gifted scholars have done in
all times. Although her designs
and paintings were approved
tney were afterward rejected,
and her commission for an impor
tant work at Rome annulled, when it was
known that the artist was a woman. It
was even reported that her strange death,
in her 27th year, was cansed by poison
administered by jealous and disappointed
rivals. About a dozen of the produc
tions of her brush, including her master
piece, "The Adoration of Saint An
thony," are found in these galleries,
which attest the prominence of her
genius. Some of the smaller ones are
exquisitely beautiful, especially "The
Apparition of Saint Phillip Neri," and
the "Saint . Mary Madelaine'." Among
outer paintings oy female artists we no
tice one by Catenna Vign. painted in
1452, two hundred years before Sirani's
tame, representing the martyrdom of St.
Ursula; also, some fane portraits by La
vima Fontana, daughter of Prospero
r ontana, tne preceptor of C'aiaoci, paint
ed about the year lbUU.
The University of Bologna occupies
the palace of Cardinal Poggi, which was
built by Tibaldi and improved and en
riched by Abati and Terachim about the
middle of the sixth century, and thus
unveils to us an epoch in the history of
Italian art. It became the property of
senate in the year 1711, and the astro
nomical observatory was built in 11125
under the patronage of , thus; re
versing the action of a former Pope in
condemning the investigations of the
great Galileo. The library consists of
one hundred and fifty thousand bound
volumes and 6000 manuscripts. This in
stitution has long been famous for the ex
alted learning of its profession, and the
superior character of its instruction ; and
it maintains its pre-eminence to the pres
ent day. It has kept pace with the
progress of the age, and the investiga
tions of modern thought; and the re
searches of its professors, and the learned
philosophers of Bologna have extended
into archaBology, and geology and kindred
sciences. The great numbers of students
availing themselves of the instructions of
its different departmentsin some seasons
exceeding three thousand in number
attest its continued popularity and use
fulness. In this palace of learning we en
ter the amphitheatre lecture hall where
Lmigi Galvani performed so many of his
experiments and instructed his pupils in
his discovery of animal magnetism, and
sit in the same chair upon- the forum
from which he and other famous scien
tists and philosophers delivered their
discourses. Here, in the year 1466, the
daughter of Dr. Andrea Novella lectured
npon jurisprudence, standing behind a
screen in order that her beauty should
not divert the attention of the suscepti
ble young students from the gravity of
the subject. The preceding instructor
upon the same subject was also a woman,
Signorina Calderini, whose portrait ex
hibts an interesting and intellectual
countenance; but she did not render her
self so famous as her successor, nor be
ing blessed, or cursed, with such fatal
gifts of beauty. Laura Bassi was also a
lecturer on philosophy in 1623, and Man
zolini, of anatomy in 1760, and Clotildi
Timberini was professor of Geeek in
1760. Portraits, busts, and tablets of all
these "dottoresse" are to be seen in the
grand sala, and the statues of Tambor
ini and Bassi in the loggin are beautiful
specimens of arts and monuments to these
noted female professors. So it seems
that the right of woman both to kno.
and teach law, physic, philosophy, ar
language was early recognized among
the literati of Bologna. It was reserved
to our times to recognize the propriety
of her being also a teacher of divinity.
The walls of the grand salon of the medi
cal department are covered with repre
sentations in fresco of the coats-of-arms
of many noble students who graduated
in medicine from the university long
centuries ago.
Besides the multitudes of arcades
throughout the city, there is a covered
archway from one of the principal gates
of the city the Porta San Isia to a
church and monastery upon a hill three
miles distant. The chapel of the Ma
donna Di San Luca was built in the year
1160 to contain the picture of the Virgin,
painted by the Greek physician and
artist, the apostle St. Luke. It became
a chapel of pilgrimage, and to accommo
date the immense throngs who visited
the sacred picture the church was en
larged and beautified, and this arcade
constructed at an enormous expenditure
of money and a hundred years of time.
Among the many magnificent paintings
which adorn the walls of this church is a
beautiful one by Elizabeth Sirani, paint
ed in her 20th year, representing the
baptism of Christ. The arcade is built
with two stories, the upper one for foot
passengers and the lower one for car
riages, and consists of 635 arches of
brick and stone and twice as many col
umns of marble. At internals along
this enrious way fifteen chapels are con
structed, each bearing upon its wall a
fresco representing the fifteen mysteries
of the rosary. At the foot of the hill
upon which the church is situated is a
magnificent arch very appropriately
csllod Arco Meloncello (the portico of
melancholy) from which the arcade
branches off to the Convent of Certosa,
built in 1335 and suppressed in 1797,
and now used as a cemetery. This
unique and beautiful burying place oc
cupies the convent which was built upon
the ancient site of an Etruscan cemetery,
and the cloisters have been enlarged and
and added to until it has become a vast
metropolis, filled with toombs, statues,
tablets, busts, and inscriptions of the
most interesting character. The dead
are deposited in the massive walls
through openings made in the outside.
which are closed up with cement, and
the monuments and works of art are
placed in secure position upon the in
side, sheltered from the weather, where
they remain for ages. Many of the finest
pieces of statuary and antique monu
ments have been removed from churches
and cemeteries in the city and vicinity,
and productions of many of the best
modern artists, both in painting and
sculpture, are found in the nu
merous chapels and long gal
leries 01 this strange sepulchral
city 01 the dead. Here we pause to ad
mire a beautiful full-length statue by
Canova or Scandelian, and there before
a bust by Bartolini or Salvini. We are
deeply impressed with the appropriate
gracefulness and beauty of a white
marble female figure set in relievo against
a black marble background, representing
the pensive sorrow of a young girl at the
tomb of her lover the work of a young
xsoiognese sculptor. A noble statue of a
woman with her finger to her lips'
representing silence, stands before the
tomb of a gallant young officer killed in
a duel. The story is that the officer was
the brother-in-law of the silent lady, and
that another gentleman, who had also
conceived a passion for her, imagined he
stood in the way of his success, and in
his insane jealousy challenged and shot
him. The real history of the affair was
never certainly known, as the lady pre
served a strict silence in regard to it;
but, as the rumors and gossips were very
unpleasant to herself and husband, they
removed frem the country, and another
brother caused this singular monument
to be erected. Everywhere we see por
traits on canvas, and frescoes, and
mosaics, on the walls, and one can wan
der here for hours listening to the gossip
of the loquacious custodian, relating to
the private and romantic histories of the
quiet sleepers beneath these lofty arches
of stoie, supported by long rows
of gleaming white marble columns.
Altogether, it is the most ap
propriate and agreeable receptacle for
the dead known to our humanity. There
is something repulsive in the idea of the
ancient Egyptian caves filled with in
numerable bandaged and shriveled im
ages of the dead. The Roman catacombs
are dark and gloomy store-houses of
nameless bones; and even the modern
necropolis of Paris, the famous Pere la
Chaise, has the repulsive feature of deep
and narrow wells, into which the remains
of loved ones are lowered and placed one
upon another until the "grave" is filled.
Even our modern park cemeteries, em
bellished with walks and trees, grass and
flowers, beautiful as they seem, are redo
lent with worms and decay, not to men
tion the unpleasant suggestion of a res
urrection before the time and a possible
dissecting-room ; and many of them seem
like immense maible yards, filled as they
are with flat head and foot stones, lines
of crumbling curbstones, decaying
wooden fences, or black and rusting iron
incloaures. The disgusting collection of .
bones in churches in Rome, and in many
rural chapels in Switzerland and the Ty
rol, labeled "Here lies the bones of our
beloved daughter," etc., are simply hor
rible. If the dead are to be sepulchred
and preserved to await a resurrection to
a new life, commend us to the cloister
system of Bologna. The open area
which is surrounded by all these
galleries and cloisters is reserved for
the burial of the poor, and burned
to make room for new comers, the ashes
being deposited in urns and placed un
der the open porticos. This seems bar
barous, indeed, when compared with the
care taken of the bodies of the rich ; but
it is no worse than the custom at Pere le
Chaise of evicting the tenants of rented
graves who are in arrears for rent, and
tumbling them into common trenches
outside the city; or the Spanish custom
of stripping the dead before casting
them into a pit with quicklime to hasten
decomposition; or even the practice of
the Parrees, of Persia, who deposit the
bodies of their dead at the summit of
tall towers that the birds of prey may
pick the flesh from the bones, which
then drop through the gratings into the
dead charnel pit beneath. Surely there
is some better, wiser, more economical,
and more philosophical, as well as more
natural and agreeable method of dispos
: :ig of the dead than any of those yet
practiced upon this changing and alter
. -.ting footstool of the Almighty by His
darkened and groping children.
Turning from this subject, by an easy
transition we are reminded of the com
ing meeting of the savants of the world
who are investigating the history of the
dead past by study of the inscriptions
written by nature upon her rocks and
minerals, preserved in her strata, and re
vealed by the upheaval of her earth
quakes, the eternal corrosion of the ele
ments by the constant action of frost and
snow, by the ever changing yet sure and
consistent action of her laws. The sec
ond international congress of geologists
is to be held at Bologna during the com
ing year. The first congress was held at
Paris in 1878. One of the main objects
of the conference is to devise a method
for the unification of geological names
and figures, and the formation of some
identical geological nomenclature. It is
also proposed to establish an internation
al system of colors and figures adapted to
the representation of geological maps.
All scientists and philosophers, and ob
servers of the laws of nature, will
appreciate this movement, and be struck
with its magnitude and importance,
and the great advantages it will give to
united and systematic scientific re
search. A common system which scien
tific men of all nations and all lan
guages can understand will render the
dissemination of newly-discovered facts
and phenomena easy, and increase the
interest and expedite the discoveries of
philosophic men throughout the world.
Prizes are offered for the best methods,
the first prize being five thousand francs,
and all plans should be sent before May
1, 1881. Committees will report on Jan.
1, 1882. It is desirable that essays and
communications should, as far as possi
ble, be written in French, that being the
common diplomatic and scientific lan
guage, and better known and understood
than any other. Correspondence should
be addressed to Prof. M. J. Capelline,
President of the Association. It is de
sired and expected that scientific men of
the United States will contribute their
mature thought upon this subject, and
be present and participate in the delib
erations of this most important congress.

Iscariots,
The world is fall of Iscariots. The
original was not so bad as he was painted
He did not mean to compass the death of
the Saviour, but though he could save
thirty pieces of silver and that the power
of his Master was too absolute for any
harm to come to him. There are thou
sands and tens of thousands of men like
him in the world. There are men who
will betray their country in a small way
to make money of it. They console
themselves with the thought that the
country is too great to be shaken by so
little a transaction, and yet out of them
have grown all our Indian wars, be
cause of them almost all the sorrows
and divisions of the country have come,
and because of them the masses
have fallen off in respect for the
authorities so much that really upright
men hesitate before jeopardizing their
good names through accepting office,
The baneful evil descends to private life
and becomes the father of a thousand
heart aches and crimes. The olerk loves
his employer, would not harm him for
the world, and yet some time he ventures
to take a dollar, unaccounted for, from
the till intending to replace it next day.
Like Judas he wants the silver and be
lieves that the act of getting it is not a be
trayal of his Master; but the next day he
wants more and the result is flight or a
prison, or often, as did the Iscariot of
old, he goes out and hangs himself. A
great evil may cloud or fetter a commu
nity. You will And a thousand men who
will denounce it to you and tell you it
ought to be abated, but if the test comes
that requires their presence or their sig
nature they will refuse. Why? Because
for the little silver they can gain by
hiding their thoughts, they have sold
their souls, and are willing to make
those who nurse the wrong believe they
are smiling approval. The greed for
gold is emasculating the world. Men
are betraying their Master, principle,
every day for it, as much as did Judas
Iscariot. They are obsequious to wealth;
they smile approval to tyrannies; they
withhold their hands from the palms of
honest poverty; they hjtray their own
manhood; they are Iscariots for coin.
The eyes of mothers catch the gleam of
gold and become facmated until they be
tray their daughters into false marriages
even while, like Iscariot, they kiss them.
Young girls walk the streets and watch
the finery displayed in the windows, and
the Iscariot within then begins to whisper
"Of course you'll not betray yourself to
the world, but you are verv poor, and the
mantle of the night will conceal for you
a little indiscretion." Either the old Is
cariot has been too much blamed or there
is not blame enough for those who imi
tate him in modern days. . The thine
most full of human nature in the New
Testament is that the Savior, or even af
ter at His touch the eyes of the blind
were opened, and at the sound of His
voice the grave gave up its dead the
most natural thing, we say, was that He
was betrayed by one He thought his
friend, and that He was betrayed for
money.

Bill Jones owned one of the bill -boards
of a Michigan town, but business - being
dull he was compelled to sell it in order
to pay his hotel bill. It rather bored
Bill to have to sell his bill-board to pay
his board bill. S :
The Littles.
A Yankee who had won a fat turkey at
a raffle, and whose pious wife was very
inquisitive about his method of obtain
ing the poultry, satisfied her scruples at
least by the remark, "the shakers gave it
him." -
Picking up sticks is slow business, but
is profitable if enough sticks are picked
up, and if sticks will sell. Gigantic for
tunes have been made bygathering frag
ments that seemed worthless. A French
man became wealthy by picking up
crusts of bread in the streets of Paris.
He dried the crusts and sold them for
bird food. During our war men rolled
up majestic fortunes by following the
army and picking up bits of fat and
scraps of meal. There are old men and
women who spend their time in hooking
out from ash barrels and dirt heaps the
little pieces of coal and other substances
which have been overlooked. Although
these people are dirty and wear tattered
clothes, some of them have large pos
sessions. The old Scotch proverb,
"Many a nickle makes a muckle," lies at
the basis of the successful enterprise of
these slow and patient gatherers. Each
piece picked up is of infinitesimal value.
To the careless observer these pieces
seem of no value at all; aud it is only
when their value is massed that it is per
ceptible. The fact that the accumula
tion of the little sometimes leads to solid
prosperity contains a wholesome lesson
to the profligate persons who squander
their little opportunities and throw away
their spare moments. To save time and
material is not only desirable, but praise
worthy. There is, on the other hand, a danger
of overdoing the business of dovotion to
the infinitesimals. John Bunyan pic
tured a man whs was so closely occupied
with his muck-rake as to neglect bril
liant inducements which were offered
him from another direction. This grov
eliue person was delighted to rake to
gether dried leaves and chips of dirt
that he could give no attention to the
crown of solid worth offered him by
condescending angel.
There is a story of a man who once
found great success in picking up pins
from the pavement, and who was so
pleased by it that he ever afterwards
walked with eyes directed downward
looking for pins. History records that
in the course of his life he found a great
many pins ; but it adds that he never had
a soul above pins. There was an old
merchant down town who had a practice
of making out his bills on bits of brown
wrapping paper, and of writing his let
tors on scraps of anything that would
hold a pencil-mark. He grew immensely
rich: and died despised by everybody
yet leaving a substantial fortune to rela
tives who reioiced that such a miser
was gone.
Every now and again a few paragraphs
and stories go the rounds of the press
about how Stephen Girard or some other
eminent financier grew rich on saving
bits of string or hammering crooked
nails straight. TheseVare circulated
with a view to makin prodigal young
men into thrifty ones. We are told that
Rothschild or Coutts or Jim Fisk, or
somebody, earned their first few thousand
dollars by untying string from bundles
instead of cutting it into short and value
less bits. A. T. Stewart is by some peo
ple supposed to have taken his first steps
to wealth by making crooked nails lrorn
packing boxes into straight ones. It is
not recorded how many times he mashed
his thumb in the early stages of his
busines, when crooked nails dodged the
blows of the hammer and flew up to hit
him in the eye. The Astors are sup
posed to have saved enough on bait for
the traps in which old Mr. Astor caught
the animals whose fur he sold to erect
the big hotel in New York which bears
their name. And so it is with stories of
others who have piled up the world's
wealth.
-Now the fact is that a great many 01
these stories and examples are simply
ridiculous, and lead young men to sub
stitute the ignoble for the noble in their
purposes and aims. There were days in
which it paid for an intelligent young
man to straighten nails, for hardware was
not'then what it is now. When nails are as
now only a few cents a pound, mest young
men can employ their time in better
ways. An industrious youth does well
to be thrifty in the use of twine and
other sundries, but if he spend ten cents'
worth of time and effort in saving three
cents' worth of string, the investment is
a poor one. The man who wants to hold
his head high among men of business
has nothing to gain by using old scraps
of paper instead of decent stationery.
There is a commendable sort of thrift
and there is a thrift which is despicable.
The man with the muck-rake may have
been an industrious fellow, but give us
rather the man who has enterprise
enough to look upwards and ambition
enough to robe nimself in a becoming
manner, while he diligently seeks sue
cess in great things as wtll as small and
in those which are worth looking after
rather than in those which are to be
despised.

This firm, successors to Coggins &
Beach, dealers in paints, oils, glass,
doors, sash, blinds, etc., is doing a very
extensive business, which extends to va
rious points on the North Pacific Coast.
They import direct from the East the
gscat bulk of their stock, which enables
them to sell cheaper than those who pur
chase their stock either in San Francisco
or this city, and which accounts for their
rapid increase of patronage. Persons
desiring anything in their line would do

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
To the People of the Great Northwest.
WE WISH TO CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO A
few facts and ask your careful consideration of
the same. . , ...
First That nearly nine-tenths of the people on this
coast are afflicted with Catabbh hi one or more of its
various forms; many of whom are not aware of the
origin of their sufferings, and consequently, in spite of
all they are able to do, continue to suffer.
Second That the accepted theory of the disease
that it "is simply a local inflammation of the mucous
membrane lining of the nasal passages, produced by a
cold" as advocated by most practising physicians, is
erroneous in the extreme, else why do they not cure
so simple a disease which is merely the result of a
cold?
Third That Catarrh is not simply LOCAL but
CONSTITUTIONAL also, being of scrofulous origin,
hence capable of transmission to offspring, which ac
counts in part for its rapid increase.
Fourt h That vaccination Is one of the prime causes
of all scrofulous diseases, of which that form known
as CATARRH is most prevalent.
Fifth That without the proper CONSTITUTIONAL
treatment, all LOCAL means must prove futile, why
then longer continue the use of Snuffs, Douches, In
halents, etc. ? .....
Sixth That we have made the above facts a life
study, having been a great sufferer ourselves from
this worst of curses, until CURED BY OUR OWN
REMEDY, and are fully warranted in the assertion
that they are FACTS; having for more than twelve
years based our treatment of that loathsome disease,
CATARRH, upon the above principles with the very
best of success. So anxious were we to And a remedy
that, wki sDeclflc for the cure of this disease t hat we
have tested at different times in our practice most of
the remedies now in use, and found that they were
gotten up upon theory, and not on actual knowledge
of the disease. Having become fully convinced that
our theory of the disease is correct, aud that when
directions are strictly followed
OUK REMEDY IS SPECIFIC,
We have decided to place our SURE CURE FOR
JA l.nmi m tne nanas 01 aruggists mrougnoui uie
great northwest, at the very nominal price of ONE
DOLLAR PER BOTTLE. Already thirty druggists
have ordered, and the SURE CURE has been sent
them some the second and third lots since August
isth. jn lne 01 tne leading druggist s 01 -ort lanu nave
it in stock: the well known and reliablefirmof Hodge
Davis & Co. are wholesale agents. Were it not that
the Remedy possesses intrinsic merit, such a wide
spread demand and sale could not be effected in so
short a time. The fact is that during our three years'
practice in Portland we have fully established the
reputation of DR. JAMES KECK'S SURE CURE
FOR CATARRH.
We would caution you from purchasing for the
same as Dr. Keek's any "Catarrh Remedy" which
l,.. nnt tha anttrmtnh dimatiirD "T A "MT.-ft ITUUtU t
D." upon each package, as some having other reme
dies on hand of which they wish to dispose, are repre
senting them to be the same as Dr. Keek's; of course
if ours were WORTHLESS they would not be com
pelled to resort to this unprincipled means to effect
sales of inferior nrenarations.
Remember also that we make a SPECIALTY of
the treatment of diseases of WOMEN.
Verv respectfully yours,
