One of the pleasantest reminders we had of the festive season was a present from two of our old Benson friends?who "hre too modest to want their names printed. But what they sent us was a genuine treat and all the more so as everything bore the flavor of our boyhood home. They were: Sausage, liver pudding, head cheese, "Kentucky oysters," yes, and a whole ham. We certainly shall not soon forget the thoughtful kindness of these friends.

The read en of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh, being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address: F J CHENEY & CO. Toledo, O.
